Reccs?

You can do PT 7x week. Just alternate cardio, focused body parts, and types of anaerobic workouts. M- HIIT w light weights - swim T- Pecs / Abs - run or bike W- HIIT w light weights - swim TH- Bis / lower back / Abs - run or bike F- HIIT w light weights - swim S- Tris / Abs - hike (or snowboarding, etc.) S- Lats - bike The HIIT classes are lightweight arms, chest, back, squats, lunges, ropes, shuttle, jumps, dips, leg raises, assorted abs, over an hour class. * I don’t do a heavy leg workouts bc I do a lot of hike / bike / swim, with a little running (vs. old Army knees / back) NO2, BCAAs, Glutamine, multivitamins I have to go away a week at a time sometimes, where I don’t have access to weights, so then it’s all core / body weight exercises. Always ready to get back to gym. ** Edited by reconhokie at 4/25/2023, 1:47:17 PM
