i am in stage 2 of the sbd... i dont follow it like religiously... but very closely... i do have a treat day at least once a month or soish... a fav dessert or something...
and i go to the gym mon-fri over my lunch hour at work... usually consists of fast walk//jog on a interval incline for 20 min
then different weight exercises for each day, with ab work being done everyday
arms/back/legs/ and i will rotate it so i dont do the same muscle group each time
i was thinking of going back into phase one for the 2 weeks again to jumpstart myself |

| Going back to P1 won't do anything except deplete your glycogen stores. Hardly worth the suffering. 20min fast walk is fine as a starting point, but your body has certainly had time to adjust to that stress and won't respond to it further. You need to increase the duration and or the stress (incline). You should also start substituting new resistance exercises for the ones you've been doing for a while. |

| jams is right on. walk longer and faster - at very minimum for 30 minutes. 45-60 is better. try different machines - ellipticals, bikes, stairclimbers, etc. |

interval work - after a warm up, try doing the cardio of your choice for 1 minute fast, then 1 minute slow, alternating. then you can change the duration of the intervals, like 1 minute fast, 2 minutes slow or 2 minutes fase, then 1 minute slow.
do the interval segment for 20-30 minutes, then do a cool down.
try not to do an interval routine 2 days back to back - allow 1 day rest or do a light weight routine on the in-between day. |
