Since my short term goal is ten weeks away I plan to break it into 3 week phases. I will mix up my workouts every three weeks to keep my body guessing which plays into muscle confusion. The plan is to do minimal cardio and the cardio will either be walking the neighborhood with the kiddo or swimming. I am doing minimal because I don't feel that I have a substantial amount of fat to lose, if much at all right now. If I did, I would add in a few sessions of HIIT cardio. My primary training will be weights, heavy weightlifting focusing on one to two body parts per day, and taking rest days as needed. It will be a rolling workout so that rest days can be inserted as needed and I can pick up my next weight routine the following day.
The majority of my workouts will be done at home during the little spoon's nap time. I plan to do some meal preps for the entire week on Sundays so that will be a huge time saver. My workouts usually last 45 min at most which gets me a workout and quick shower before the little one is up. My biggest challenge will be to eat more and to eat more frequently. Muscles need fuel to grow so I HAVE to eat more!! I may have to set some alarms on my phone to remind me to eat. That's the plan and so far I am two days in and doing pretty well. The first week is always the hardest hump to get over.
Workout Schedule:
Day 1. Legs
Day 2. Back and Biceps
Day 3. Chest and Triceps
Day 4. Plyometrics (or legs with lighter weights/higher reps)
Day 5. Shoulders
*1-2 Rest Days Inserted as Needed During the Week
*Abs 2-3 times a week
Nutrition:
1. Eating 6 meals a day (some form of protein @ each meal a must!)
2. Most meals will contain a protein, fat, and complex carb (playing around with my macros to see what
my body responds to the best)
3. Cutting out processed foods
4. Cutting out all unhealthy sweets
5. Drinking at least half my weight in water, if not more
6. Treat meal once a week but life happens so it may be more than once
