THE POSITIVE

I’ve had more time to work on my planks.

The different plank variations have always helped me strengthen my core and lower back to alleviate pain caused from previous injuries. Having this extra time to focus on them will definitely have me ready to go full steam ahead with my weight training once the gyms open back up.

GOAL ADJUSTMENTS

I’ve had to become more focused on cardio style, full-body workouts with minimal rest to strengthen my endurance and lung function.

ADAPTATIVE EATING

My diet has improved. I am currently taking in fewer calories and adding in more vegetables and fruit. I have also increased my protein intake just simply by creating new recipes to try as snacks.
