The Workout

While my current plan, using the "Fitbod" app, has a combination of circuit training to start, a middle section of HIIT that kicks my butt. It suggests a variety of light cardio options at the end of each workout.

A Change

The cardio is what I will change, starting today. I have joined my neighborhood gym and have decided to focus on using the elliptical machine and the treadmill to finish my workouts. I am hoping this edit to my workouts will spark the changes I need to achieve my goals.

Inspiration

My thinking on this comes from the actor, Daniel Dae Kim. He was interviewed by "Men's Health" about his workout routine. He said his routine consists of 30 minutes of strength training and a 3-mile run. My instincts are telling me the run is the key. I am now implementing my own "3 Mile Rule". Let's see if getting a minimum of 3 miles using the elliptical and treadmill will push me closer to my goals.

Diet Focus

My diet plan, using the "Lose It" app, sets a calorie goal each day for me to achieve my goal. Since my weight hasn't changed lately, I will try to make sure that each day ends in a calorie deficit. Hopefully, this will make up for any discrepancies and bring me closer to my fitness goals.

Plan Adjustment

The treadmill is my focus: 20-minute run (2.15 miles), 15-minute fast walk (1.2 miles) for a total of 3.35 miles in 35 minutes plus 30-40 minutes of strength and HIIT
