With the UK being in yet another lockdown (third time's the charm! *hopefully*) the gyms are shut and my way of exercising is gone. So I figured this is the perfect time to come here for some advice. For you see my journey officially started in April 2020, but since then I've been on-and-off cycling through 'I need to lose weight' and 'I'm perfect the way I am' mindsets.
Firstly, My gym routine used to be;
1x 20min run (2min walk, 3min run 4x repeats). This increases on a weekly basis to e.g 2min walk, 3 min run, 1 min walk, 4 min run in different combinations for a combined time of 20 minutes for now.
I ran at the speed of 6.5kph and walked at 2.5kph on the treadmill, managing to get 1.6km in on a daily basis (used to go 5x a week)
This was followed by various strength machines for 40 min, alternating between arms and legs.
For food, meal prepping is unfortunately too ambitious and as a person with ADHD (this might just be me) I forget to log my food. So I have been using an app called Paprika to download recipies and make grocery lists to encourage healthier eating. So far so good.
Could anyone shine a light on some helpful advice? Any good meals, tips, tricks? Is my gym routine suitable? Should I do more, or less?
