Robb Wolf (Paleo Diet author) and Mark Sisson (Primal Blueprint author) both suggest a lifting heavy weights, doing as much "low speed" cardio as possible, and sprinting occassionally. Low speed cardio is walking pace type stuff, just being up and active. I think Crossfit workouts would fall under the "sprinting" categorgy for me. I haven't decided what form my sprinting workouts will take, I'll layer that in later.
I started today with low speed cardio. Kiah and I walked two miles before breakfast. We both get some exercise and she annoys Sheila less during the day.
Diet:
Breakfast: Egg bake (eggs, sausage)
Snack: 2 oz peanuts
Lunch: Pork and peppers.
Dinner: chicken fajita on lettuce
Snack: almonds and 2 pieces of bacon
Was feeling the lower blood glycogen this evening. my brain is in a bit of a fog.

ReplyDeleteLindsey posts our daily work out on this website. Not many involve sprinting. She is big into rowing. Where she posts any running we can sub with rowing. So if u need ideas for workouts check this site out. I think u have enough equipment u could do them.
They're referring to "sprinting" as doing something physical as quickly as possible not just running. A whole lot of Crossfit falls into that category. They say it has a place but they feel it should only be a couple of times a week.
ReplyDeleteI don't disagree that I need to do some of that. I'm just holding off for right now. I really don't want to add Crossfit in right as I'm adjusting to a whole lot less carbs in my diet.
