Hi, y'all, I'm sure during the festive season, despite workout out, you all probably stuffed yourself with fortified amounts of food, leading to extreme guilt trips and oaths to work it all off. I know I did. But I'm thinking further. I'm gonna think up fitness resolutions to last the entire 2014. And hell, am I gonna follow it.
AIM: <10% BODY FAT
1) Cheat meal once per month; cleanse system with a high protein/fibre diet
Nowadays, I resort to 1 cheat day per week. While this is going okay, I'm gonna step it up a notch. My meals will consist mainly of wholegrains, lean protein, fibrous vegetables, fruits, dairy products, nuts/nut butters and protein supplements. Tell myself that if I don't discipline myself, no one will.
2) Exercise plan: the 4:4:2
4:4:2 stands for a training program that goes like this >>> Out of a 7-days week, I must achieve at least 4 sessions of cardio (2 intervals/2 endurance), 4 strength training sessions (gym or calisthenics) and 2 days of rest. I used to do a lot more cardio, but now I'm reducing it so that its main purpose is to maximise fat burn, while preventing muscle catharsis. Strength training will provide me with strength and muscular gains. 2 days will be for rest after harder training days.
3) Run my hardest, lift my hardest
Never ever let myself lose motivation. This one's hard. There are just days where I go "Meh, I don't feel like going to the gym. If I go, I'm just gonna slack."
No. I must keep telling myself that even lesser training is training, and that I must do it, and when I get started, I must keep on telling myself that since I've started, I might as well get a good session in.
So, the above are my fitness resolution for the year 2014. What's yours?
Once again, have a fitter and happy new year!
