I was asked by some to explain what I do on a daily basis for health and fitness. So I will go through what I do and suggestions for others if you want to make similar goals.
So here is my outline:
👉🏻 Burn about 300 calories per planned exercise. I make this goal because it’s flexible, but it’s also planned based on current goals. This is also what I record into my log and Fitbit. I teach two classes MWF, each will burn about 300 for me. I log one of them. When I am not teaching, I will do a mix of strength and light cardio, one hour, which equals the same. If pressed for time, I can do HIIT training which will get 300 calories in about 35 minutes. Why 300? That’s just my number that gives me a workout quality that I like.
👉🏻 Get in 12,000 steps per day. Why 12,000? That’s the number that challenges me. 10,000 was routine. Going over 12,000 means that there are some days where I need to walk more late afternoon to make sure I get over 12,000.
👉🏻 Daily meditation and yoga. Even if it’s just 10 minutes.
👉🏻 Foam rolling. Again, even if it’s just 10 minutes. It helps tremendously with muscle recovery.
👉🏻 Eat to TDEE and macro spread. Total daily energy expenditure. I’m currently done with reverse dieting and have gone into maintenance with a new calorie and macro spread. Everyone’s needs are different.
I have found it helpful to have a basic outline to follow because it helps with consistency.
If I need a few extra steps to meet the goal? I walk a little more. If I didn’t get a regular workout in? I know 35 minutes is all I need. Sometimes my yoga and meditation is done right at bedtime. I am not turning back flips to get this done, this is what is doable for me.
If you need help creating your own individual outline, you know how to find me. 👍🏻
