Rethinking My Exercise Plan

March 26th, 2015 at 07:14 pm

I'm thinking that part of the reason I got so sick this week is because I went a little too gung ho on my exercise. I went from one 2 mile walk a week and sometimes a second one to exercising 5 days in a row - one of those days a killer group workout.

So ... my plan, starting on Tuesday (give myself plenty of recoup time)

30 minutes of cardio Tue/Th/Sat for 6 weeks.
Add 20 minutes of ST on Tue/Th for 6 weeks.
Add a 4th day of cardio for 6 weeks.
Add a 3rd day of 20 minutes ST for 6 weeks.
Add a 5th day of cardio for 6 weeks.
Add a 6th day of cardio for 6 weeks.
Then reevaluate - maybe increase ST time or increase cardio time, etc.

This way I'll work up slowly to my ultimate goal of 6 days of cardio and 3 days of ST.

    I was going to say the very same thing - drink LOTS of water! Smile

    I think easing into your new exercise regime is a great idea. It'll probably help you avoid burnout and stick with it longer, too. (I won't tell you to hydrate, since that's already been covered Smile )
