Fitness
Here also, I am starting all the way at the beginning. I plan on lifting Monday, Wednesday and Friday and doing a walking/HIIT combo on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Resistance Training Plan: Goal 21 Sessions
The plan here is to use a circuit found in the MH Home Workout Bible:
Reverse crunch
Crunch
Prone Superman
Sumo Squat
Bench Press
Reverse Lunge
Pullover
Shoulder Press
Bent-Over Row
Upright Row
Side-Lying External Rotation
Lying Triceps Extension
Seated Concentration Curl
Seated Calf Raise
I plan on replacing these exercises with equivalent variations starting around week 5 or 6. (Probably half for week 5 and half for 6, so that I don’t have to learn too many new exercises at once.)
Week 1: 1 circuit of 15-20 reps
Week 2: 2 circuits: circuit 1: 15-20 reps, circuit 2: 12-15 reps
Weeks 3-6: 3 circuits: (1) 12-15, (2) < 15 , (3) < 12
Weeks 7-9: 3 circuits: (1) 12-15, (2) < 12, (3) <8
SS Cardio Plan: Goal 21 Sessions
Leigh P. pointed me to this reference in his blog regarding HIIT ( http://leighpeele.blogspot.com/2007/...e-to-hiit.html ) and I have decided that at this point it’s probably too risky for me. For purposes of the contest, I’m stating my goals as the less valuable SS, but may turn out to be intervals.
Each day is defined as a scheduled cardio day. The walking column means the following 1x6 + 4x5 : one six minute walk and 4 five minute walks spread throughout the day. Walking session occur on the same day, but at different times during the day.
Session:
1 6x5
3-4: 1x10 + 4x5
5-6 2x10 + 2x5
7-8 3x10
9-10 1x15 + 2x10
11-12 2x15
13-14 1x20 + 1x10
15-16 1x25 + 1x10
17+ 1x30
Personal Goals:
1) Read and implement 2 books about emotional eating.
2) Read and implement 2 books about parenting.
3) Be in bed by 10:30 on 31 of the days.
4) Make the 2 overdue doctor visits that I have.
5) Complete at least 9 stretching sessions.
