I'm building a deck for spring break and that's my exercise for the week.

Today I moved 100 2x4s, 90 14 foot 2x6 pressure treated deck boards, and about 70 other various boards. I feel worse than any workout I've ever done.

Thinking about starting an actual workout program instead of just going to the gym 2-3 times a week and doing whatever I felt like that day. Thought about doing the 6 week "shortcut to shred". If anyone else wants to start it on Monday I'm down for some friendly competition/motivation

Shortcut to shred

here ya go

I'm not buying any of the supplements but I am gonna try to follow a fairly strict diet and the workout plan. I like the "cardio acceleration" idea between sets because sometimes I do get bored waiting between sets. However, I am scared of looking like a jackass getting done with a set of say bench press then doing step ups or high knees or something. But hey just trying to better myself and if that is humorous to someone then frick ya haha

You burn more calories lifting weights the right way compared to cardio.

Cardio is just easier so more people do it

You know that you linked shortcut to size right?

Get the bodyspace app and you can track the workout by your phone.

This.

After HIIT or weight lifting your body will continue to burn calories several hours after your workout. Running, cycling, and elyptical while going at a constant speed for 30 minutes only burn while your body is moving. Not to mention it's incredibly boring. To turn that into interval training it's as easy as adding variations of speed, incline, and switching between jogging/walking.

Weight lifting though vastly outperforms both, but like HIIT your body will hit a wall much faster. You'll burn close to 40% more calories than aerobic excercise alone. However, with all that said it starts and ends with diet.

I like the app too. No longer do I have to worry about writing my workout numbers down and getting the writing pads wet with sweaty hands.

Day 1 of shortcut to shred in the books. Workout is intense. I did step-ups and jump roping between sets of lifting. Didn't get to do all of the workout because the gym was ridiculously crowded for it to be 3pm and I had to pick up my SO at 4:30

Had oatmeal for breakfast
Tuna and brown rice for lunch
Grilled chicken and sweet potato fries for dinner

I've been doing the ketogenic diet on top of two days a week of HIIT training and my regular workouts for about two weeks now. I felt like I was on auto pilot at the gym because I was so weak from the lack of carbs but my body is starting to adjust and the body fat is starting to melt.

Day two in the books. Shoulders and legs. After shoulders I was dead (didn't eat a big breakfast) so I had to cut legs short. Then after lunch I did two miles then mowed my grass so I don't feel bad for cutting the lifting short ha

Breakfast: two pieces of toast
Lunch: pita with hummus
Snacks: cereal, greek yogurt
Dinner: lean beef, black beans, brown rice, cilantro,
