My Fitness Plan
- Learn from a PT
- My daily struggles
As an addition to my blog series, it’s been a couple of weeks since I updated this segment.
This week has been more challenging and I’m definitely more empathetic to people who work full time. It’s the first time I’ve really had to drive to work (as opposed to the option of walking or cycling) and it’s making a difference to my cardio levels.
I’m currently trying to devise a plan for increasing my cardio throughout the week (with maybe even gym based sessions – I shudder at the thought).
Nutritional, I’m normally alright with lunches and breakfasts being the same (or with a couple of small changes). Lots of rice and fish or healthy ready made lunches are the order of the day. One evening meal this week hasn’t been great admittedly: the temptation of cheap pizza and a lack of time was overwhelming. However, I’ll get back on track with meal planning for the remainder of the week.
Your nutrition doesn’t need to be 100%, as long as you eat well most of the time
On the gym side of things, I’ve been ramping up the strength training and I’m now working with four sets of eight repetitions to gain more muscle.
It’s still a three day split (so breaking my routine into two upper and one lower body session).
The exercises have been switched around and I’m definitely feeling more muscle soreness from these sessions. I say soreness but it’s more like a reassuring muscle tightness.
As you’ll know, I’m a big fan of changing things up in the gym, we’ll certainly when they aren’t working.
There is so much variety available (and if you’re struggling, check out the RYPT app for guidance with hundreds of exercise routines and thousands of exercises).
