I just recently got back into weight loss and strength training. I spent the first 2 weeks on the treadmill jogging 3 miles daily boosting my cardio and conditioning and Monday started calisthenics.
Tuesday was my off day so I hit the treadmill and tried High Intensity Interval Training. I thought I was gonna die but I felt pretty dang good afterwards. Today I go back to calisthenics, which includes pushups, pullups, crunches, planks, body squats and lunges in that order with 3 sets each.
My diet still needs some tweaking but so far is been easy to maintain.
My main staples have been.
Almond milk
Almond butter
Maple syrup
Fruits, watermelon, bananas, apples and dates.
Sweet potatoes
Protein has been, lean steak, chicken and salmon
Veggies, asparagus, steamed broccoli, cauliflower and red cabbage
Whole grain ceral and bread.
And lots of water.
As a snack I slice a sweet potato about 1/8" thick and put into the toaster, mix some almond butter with maple syrup and cinnamon and spread it on.
I'm 37 5'10 and weigh 180lbs but I gots no muscle, it's all fat and skin lol but I am feeling great losing weight and gaining muscle!
