Getting in Shape for 2020 - What are you guys doing??

[GoGoErky]

I’ve been using the flexible eating approach since 2016 after working with a personal trainer. My brother has been using it at least a year longer than that. It’s helped a lot allowing me to enjoy food and not worry about the perceived clean vs bad food. There’s been periods where I’ve loosely tracked but for the most part I’ve been pretty much on macros 95% of the time

Yeah, big changes in physical activities are so tough because the brain is pre-programmed so to speak. I know when I 'retired' from college football I blew up just like you did. We were on like a 6000 calorie a day plan due to practice and weight room activities. That personally took a lot of time and focus to get my brain programmed back to what is normal.

Honestly just take it one day or one change at a time and it will become habit. Change one meal to a salad or something healthy for a month. Then tweak another to have a favorite dish but portion control it. Don't try to change the world in one day.

I am going with baseball training with bands. I have already ordered the J Bands to start the season. I am using the baseball training to strengthen the shoulders.

Many repeats of explosive kettlebell ballistics for low reps and lots of rest

intermittent fasting + less bad carbs

this is the first time in many years ive taken working eating / eating cleaner more serious.

alternating yoga with weights alternating days and cut out "most" sugar.

some fasting, eating cleaner during the while while still enjoying a huge cheat meal / booze fest sat nights (impossible to give up)

Down some lbs, feel better more flexible. Hitting balls tonight for the first time since Jan 1 lets see if anything changed.

My goal is to get to the gym at least 50% of the days in 2020. Have been working out relatively frequently for past 4-5 years but usually take a few 2-3 week breaks due to laziness and lose quite a bit of progress. 50% is harder than you think when you start factoring in golfing on the weekends, vacations, busy times at work, etc. Doing lots of deadlifts, loaded carries, bench, arms, back. If I'm feeling beat up and need a "rest" day but still want to get a gym day in I just alternate jumping rope and doing low weight long distance loaded carries. Trying to eat as little fast food as possible but that is proving difficult for me.

I’m trying to reduce sugars and refined carbs.

What is IF?

[Warrior42111]

Intermittent fasting. Basically eating all calories within a slot say 4 or 6 hours.

Just seeing this thread:

 

I workout with heavy weights 3 days a week. (M,W,F)

On Tues and Thurs I do some form of interval training (rowing, biking, sprinting)

I do fasted cardio (incline walking) every morning, and I do intermittent fasting on a 16:8 schedule.

 

I want to incorporate more golf stuff and more flexibility stuff this year.
