Ch-ch-ch-ch- Changes

I've been workin out changes to the routine recently. Trying to keep it interesting and also not over do it from day to day. Here's what I have worked out for now

Monday: 40 min run in the morning then 20 min quick jump start run in the evening followed by 70-90 min of weight training

Tuesday: 60 min cardio session

Wednesday: 40 min run in the morning then 20 min quick jump start run in the evening followed by 70-90 min of weight training

Thursday: 60 min cardio session

Friday: 40 min run in the morning then 20 min quick jump start run in the evening followed by 70-90 min of weight training

Saturday and Sunday: 30-40 min cardio a day

I've been trying to keep cardio to 1 hour a day. It's widely accepted that keeping your heart rate elevated in your "target heart rate zone" an hour a day is the peak amount (when your body burns fat best in relation to amount of calories being expended and muscle destroyed) for cardio activity.

Diet has gotten a little easier and simpler to follow. Ive been managing to keep down egg whites but still.

Daily, I usually consume:

4-6 egg whites
3-4 cups of fresh fruit
1-2 lean chicken breasts
60-70 grams of whole grain shredded wheat
150-200ml non fat milk
4-5 cups of veg's.
2-4 scoops of protein powder = 40g protein, 170 Cal's / 2 scoops
and plenty of H2O

Quick Tip: Your body does NOT store protein the same way it stores fats. It's a good idea to spread out your protein intake throughout your entire day and increase it a bit more around your weight training activities to keep you healthy!

That's all for now
