As the title describes. I have some YouTube playlists but they are made and edited for the current program I'm following. I'll just post and update with things I like here so I can add notes.
- Daily morning stretch for posture:
- Good stretch before getting up after sitting for a long time:
- Good for triceps, started today (May, 30th). Check results at the end of next month:
- Notes: I was too lazy yo keep it up with the other exercises. I might try to add it as a "post-dinner" or "before bed" routine.
- Recommended for easy everyday routine:
- 2020 workouts:
- 1st finished program - Started on February, 16th. Completed on March, 6th. I only did the low impact versions and my weight went down a bit but I gained it back again because I returned to my lazy couch potato habits. *sigh*
- 2nd finished program - Started on May, 21st. Completed on June, 17th. Good results. I was more committed and started "carb cycling" by having 2 "low carb" days during the week (and later added another one, making it Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays). Not strictly keto or paleo, just avoiding rice, anything wheat-based and refined sugars. Still eating lots of vegetables and fruits.
- 3rd finished program - Started on June, 22nd. Completed on July, 16th. Added resistance bands on day 3. Okay for maintenance, no visible results on muscle gain but slightly toned glutes and waist.
- 4th finished program - Started on July, 20th. Completed on August, 16th. The current weight is very stable (49.5-50kg). I added Mondays to the "low carb" cycle to see how it will affect body fat percentage. The lowest so far has been 26%. Overall, I've gotten used to the exercises so it was a bit easier towards the end but I wasn't a big fan of the 20 min HIIT in this one. The 5 min. warm-up routine is pretty good though and I'll probably add that as a morning stretch alternative.
- Micro-cut planning:
- A 5-day stricter diet (Mamamoo's Solar fruit diet based)
- Pay attention to water intake (10 cups daily - approx. 2.5L)
- Do the following workouts vids every day:
- Micro-cut results:
- Diet worked very well!! I wasn't feeling hungry or restricted and since I sorta calculated the macros around it and adapted the fruits/veggies to my liking instead of just following blindly. I also did a large meal prep during the weekend that helped me have more time for other chores. It made me realize that for the low level of activity I do nowadays, 1200cal can be very filling.
- I reached my lowest weight (48.35kg) at the end of the 5 days. Lowest body fat percentage was 25.7%. I might really need to add some weights to my regular training to reach my maintanance goal.
