Mixing it up, and seeing results
Sometimes you need to change what you are doing. I like to mix it up every now and again, but some things need to stay consistent. As much as I enjoy working out to a regimented program, I need to go “off book” once in a while to stay sane. For my latest 90 day cycle, I am mixing up a number of routines, and putting them together as if I was using Deal-A-Meal.
- Mondays are still my push up and pull up days
- Tuesdays are Plyo/Cardio days
- Wednesdays still are “Arm Heavy”
- Thursdays are stretching and Yoga
- Fridays are all about the legs and butt
- Saturdays are all about the core
When you throw in Thursday nights filled with MMA training and Sundays specific to Sambo, I have a very versatile and fun week of fitness.
I like to cycle by doing 3 complete repeat weeks, then a recovery core week. The next 3 week cycle holds the same focus, but all new ways to hit the muscle groups, and then another recovery core week. Then I do it again. (Yes, I am following a similar cycle to the P90X cycle. It works for me very well) The big decision is when I do my next 60 day cardio cycle? Will it be at the end of this 90 day cycle or will I do another 90 day variant? Time will tell.
