1). I am still trying to cut fat, while building muscle and increase my endurance. So, it was suggested that I lighten my WORK loads and increase my reps, so I did. I can say that it is not easier. I really think its harder! In fact, I know it's harder!!! I really would like to go back to heavy weight but I feel I would be cheating myself and my progress. Therefore, I will likely just add a few pounds and keep performing 4 sets of 20 reps.
2). I tweeked my knee running up my apartment stairs earlier this week so the lighter loads were helpful. I really do not want to put myself out of the gym by doing anything reckless.
So...It has been a successful week. This will be my 12th day straight training. Granted on Friday and Saturdays I have been doing mostly cardio and ab work. This weekend I plan on pushing myself to do some plyometics, HIIT, and a few push pull sets with the prowler.
I must say that I feel as though my body is starting to respond to the weight training. I was beginning to get worried that I was doing something wrong because I have the best fitness aI understand that I just need to give this time. I have a lot of work to do this first quarter of the year. I am 14 days in and by day 30 I plan on seeing some more great changes. Of course, I'll keep you posted!!!
