I have been losing weight pretty well (down 45 pounds) with logging my foods, meal prepping, eating healthy, and incorporating exercise. I started out running, then added in some home workouts 5 days a week (YouTube, Jillian Michaels, T25 all in the rotation), and walk 40-60 mins 5 days a week. And when I plateaued again I headed back to the gym to include some weight training.
I've plateaued again and started reading about how to break apart workouts - 2 or 3 days of cardio, 3 days of strength, and 1 or 2 days of active rest. So how do I do this when I do my home workouts? Each of these workouts incorporates strength and cardio?
I feel like this a really stupid question to ask, but I would love some insight to get through the plateau again!!
Background:
Started at 186lbs
currently 140lbs
height 5 ft
daily calories consumed 1200-1500
daily calories burned 200-500 (estimated using MFP)
