The Rainbow and the Worm

I’m going to follow the government’s exercise guidelines and see what happens. They recommend 150-300 minutes of aerobic activity and at least 2 days of strength training per week with one set of 12-15 reps per major muscle group.

My general plan is to break it down into 3x50 minute sessions of moderate aerobic activity(60-70% max HR), 2-3 x 20-45 minute sessions of strenuous aerobic activity(up tp 85% max HR) and three strength sessions per week where I’ll increase the exercise resistance if I can get 15 reps with good form.

The plan is to give it about 12 weeks and I may throw in a test along the way if I’m feeling it.
