At the turn of the 20th century (or the 19th - i'll find out later) a female author coined the phrase "stream of consciousness" to describe a writing style that had little to no planning. As it suggests, the author simply writes on a topic, or number of topics, off the cuff, so to speak. That is what I intend to do here.
Using this first post to lay a foundation, I plan to keep these updates short for two reasons: 1) the subject matter may not interest very many, and 2) it's primarily for me anyhow. The idea is to update this blog once per week, adding relevant photos and videos as I see fit, and to journal a fitness progression over a 12-week period beginning today, January 2nd and ending around the last week in March.
I will conclude this post with a summation of my plan:
I intend to walk 1hr/day, 5-7 days per week. The only resistance training I plan to do are a variation of body weight exercises including, but not limited to the following: body weight squats, sit ups, push ups, pull ups, planks, lunges, etc. The resistance exercises will be completed with muscular endurance as the primary target (eg 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps, all large muscle groups, 3-4x/week).
In addition to the above, I will add in more physical activity at my convenience to include riding my bike on my lunch break, and walking 10-15 minutes each morning.
As for nutrition, oatmeal w/ banana in the mornings followed by a mid morning apple at work. Lean protein and a vegetable for lunch followed by a mid afternoon snack/protein shake later, and another lean protein and vegetable for dinner. Minimum 100oz water daily. Pretty simple and straight forward.
It is not my M.O. create an exercise and food diary, but rather to track my adherence to everything above and chronicle my progress. Cheers.
