+2.6 mi....
Trying to figure out what type of cardio routine would work best for me. Low intensity steady state (LISS) is what I generally do and that works, but it's prone to plateaus and is extremely time consuming. I generally do like a 40-60 min walk 5-7x a week. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is the other thing I'm looking at. Can get more of a work out in less time. It's also really good for mobilizing fat. HIIT followed by LISS is what I'm going to try to do with the goal of losing as much mass as possible (muscle+fat). The only alternative for that outcome I'm aware of is more LISS and that's getting old. Upper body muscle is what I'm trying to target, so I'll be doing be lower body strength training to counteract that. ------- Theoretical Exercise plan Coffee then-> "Stationary Bike Warm up for 3-5 minutes: I usually have the resistance at a medium level so if its on a 1-20 scale I keep my warm-up and recovery time at around 10-12. When it comes time to do the intense interval, I bump it up to 15-18. 30 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity (repeat 4 times) 40 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity (repeat 4 times) 30 seconds high intensity, 1 minute low intensity (repeat 4 times)" Followed by 30 mins walking. Do that 3x a week. Body weight exercises 2x a week: Squats, leg lifts, reverse leg lifts, side lunges. 4-5 sets of 10 each. ---------------- That shouldn't kill me, right? | ||

M'Ladies and gentleElves,
About a year ago, I was going thru a second surgery. I was out of money, barely able to work in between surgeries, and had gone down to 150 lbs. Since then, I've gone up to 195, made strides as a business partner, and acquired enough currency to make the down payment on a house. I didn't get addicted to opiates. I drink only a small amount. I'm getting my dick wet when I want to. Some days, I wake up and experience bleakness. I worry I've wasted my life and am critical about life choices I made in my youth. It's important to measure your incremental GAINS to offset the cacophony of existential dread that lurks beneath the surface. The meaning you make in life is what pulls you through the suffering and enriches the moments of joy. Physically, mentally, and materially, I am doing better than I could have dreamed 365 days ago. Thanks for participating in the GAINS thread. I love this thread and I love hearing about other ELVES being healthy and strong. Here is my pic from this morning.
