What's on my mind today?

Now that you’ve gotten some good advice, even that can be confusing, so now what do you do?  Stick your big toe into the water and see if it is warm.  That’s right—just try things out and see if they work.  However, don’t fall into the trap most people fall into—be sure to give your test some time to work.

By testing things out, over time you will see what works for you and your body type.  Everyone is different.  You wouldn’t dream of wearing my custom made shoes, so why expect to be given the exact program that will work for you?  You can be taught principles and guidelines, but it is up to you to find out what works the best for you.  At that point, you have to work with the things that have done the best for you and leave behind those things that haven’t worked for you.  It is really a simple process.

I measure my body fat and body weight weekly.  I have a chart that shows my fluctuations for the past 535 days.  I have also mapped to that what I was doing at the time.  Using that chart I can make decisions very easily about which principles I should apply to my training and nutrition and which principles won’t work for me.  The specifics of setting up a good plan then become extremely easy for me.

Today I did 45 minutes on the stairmill in the morning and then 45 minutes of uphill walking on the treadmill later in the afternoon for a total of 90 minutes of steady state cardio today.

Testing the waters is the best way to know what works for you and what does not work for you.  Anything else is just guessing.
