Matty and I were having a discussion about fat on your body and what to do about it. As a hockey player he does not want an extremely low body fat percentage, but at the same time, he is uncomfortable about certain aspects of his body. I explained the need to do some cardio and use alot of effort during all cardio sessions. That lead to us getting up early today to do a nice 45 minute cardio session. I taught Matty how to do my interval cardio and he did quite well. He was dripping with sweat when he was done. I did a steady state session for the entire 45 minutes while Matty did intervals for 30 minutes and steady state for 15 minutes. He now understands how important it is to do cardio. We have now added cardio to his plan. I began planning the nutritonal ideas for next week. I decided to keep Christmas day as a low carb day because my gym is closed and I don't want to add extra carbs when I can't do cardio. It is supposed to rain on Christmas day, so I am not planning to be able to do outdoor cardio at all. Most likely I will do some kind of body weight cardio circuit if all else fails. My wife and I did a bit of shopping today. That was an experience I won't forget any time soon. |
