I have been in really good shape for most of my life. Very muscular and in good cardio fitness. I went through the funkiest slump of my life the last 8 months or so and almost ceased weight training, but kept in a few days of cardio a week. Sometimes, only 2 though, and they were easy workouts.
Anyway, school is ending next week, and I really am intent on taking a break for me so that I can put the focus back where it needs to be...on staying healthy and getting back the muscle I have lost.
How would you slowly get back to the weights, assuming I don't want to do any other video but Cathe? I would like to start back with a 30 min cardio per day/30 min P90X type lifting, but maybe keep the weights lighter? I understand that the weights will have to be lighter...especially since I have lost alot of strength I am sure. How much lighter would you go and for how long before you would think your body was used to it again? I ask because I have a tendency to go all out and then risk injury.
Do I have to start out like a total beginner or can I just drop my weight? Anybody done this?
I want to do P90X (only 1/2 tape per day), S&H, or Hardcore to gain back strength.
What would you do?
