Feeling decidedly in the groove now, I'm ramping things up further by adding in a second cardio session. Starting now, I'll be breaking a sweat each morning and each night to bookend my days.
In the past, I'd have logged a ton of miles on the pavement to get the bulk of my calorie burning in, but I'm trying something a bit unconventional, at least for now; old-school aerobics and H.I.I.T. training. I've done both before, but not as the center of a cardio program, nor with any regularity.
We'll see how it goes. It's actually a nice change-up; keeps me out of the damp, cold winter weather, and it's easier on my feet, knees, and hips (so far). I follow it up with a 20-30 minute circuit-based weight training session, then some ab work, and finish with some deep stretching.
Next week I'll expand my weight training to include more movements, higher intensity, and heavier weights. Hoping to carry the momentum from this week forward.
It feels like nap time... I think I'm going to get a quick one in while I can.
