Evolution one – week twelve
Monday, May 19, 2009
Hello Folks,
Hitting a plateau is never easy. I haven’t seen any changes for a few weeks now; especially in Body Fat Percentage and weight. I have made a few adjustments, but not enough to see results. This is where the real experiments begin.
The first strategy recommended by Tom Venuto who wrote Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle, is to look at your cardio workout. There are a few ways to make adjustments in that department; increase duration, frequency and/or intensity. I have increased frequency a little bit, but not duration or intensity.
Apparently, decreasing caloric intake is closer to the last thing I should do, if I have already been eating a lower amount of calories, because it can slow down the metabolism even more. So, I am going to do a little experiment with duration and intensity. Let’s see what happens…
Exercise: Interval (40 minutes – running)
Menu:Veggies and Protein
