Exercise

I lift 3-5 days a week, alternating between work-outs A and B.

Edit: I now am following this work-out because the previous one didn’t fit my schedule. I still recommend the first for most people, especially if you’re just starting out.

For my cardio, I play DDR/ITG (youtube it!), although it’s more of a hobby than deliberate exercise. I much prefer weightlifting to cardio, although I mostly did cardio when I first started my journey.

I don’t take my exercise lightly, and I never take it easy. If you can carry on a conversation during exercise, you’re not working hard enough. If you can manage to read a book or browse the internet on your phone during your cardio, you aren’t working hard enough. If you aren’t consistently pushing yourself more and more every week, and you aren’t seeing progress, you aren’t working hard enough. If you are doing the same work-out everyday without any increase in difficulty, you will eventually plateau with your physical progress. Change things up and work different muscle groups. Lifting two pound dumbbells every day will not be enough to see progress. You need to do a combination of cardio and weights. Try to never work the same muscles day-to-day; you need to recover or you will injure yourself. And speaking of, you need days off! Your body needs recovery days, healthy food, water, and the right amount of sleep to repair in order to see the progress you seek.
