Sherry, I know you are more of a cardio person, so I'm interested to hear what you think about your new rotation. I have really come to de-emphasize cardio-only workouts in my rotation. I still do some (mainly boxing and kickboxing), but I find that I get plenty of cardio as part of my weight training (especially things like kettlebells) plus I enjoy it so much more. As an interesting side note, I recently was playing around with the website Sequencing.com using my 23andme data. There is a free app called "Athletic Performance" that I tried. Here's what it said about me based on my genes: Quote:

I am also going for more strength.
Right now I am going to do something like this using KCM's newest workouts: Monday - Cardio Fit workout 1 (boxing/lower body) Tuesday - Power Splits Upper body Wed - Cardio Fit workout 2 (Hi/Lo, compound moves) Thurs - Power Splits Lower Body Friday - heavy bag/boxing/kickboxing Sat - walk/jog/run Sun - hike/walk M-F will add in walk/hike when I have time. I was in a group on Peloton that I was following, and doing much more higher intensity bootcamps, treadmill work and my knees/feet have started to hurt more, so figured after a few months of this and really no results, and it seemed like they were all in competition with each other trying to do better than the other on the leaderboard (which I don't have because I am an app user), I decided I needed to leave that group and go back to KCM and Peloton but doing what I like. Here is to more strength. |

Thanks to all! It was clearly everything that I was doing that no longer worked anymore. Now at nearly 50, for me, it's all proper balanced nutrition and very little about workouts for weight loss. I failed to realize that too late and now am riddled with injuries that won't heal. (Exhibit A: I'm sitting here with an ice pack on an old pulled abdominal muscle injury that I just reinjured while attempting to clean the shower...)
