Week 5 of the 35 Day Fall Fitness Challenge
This week I put Week 4 behind me and moved on to Week 5. I also decided to extend the challenge for another week mainly because I haven’t figured out what to replace it with.
To get right to the results:
| week 5 | 11-03 | 11-04 | 11-05 | 11-06 | 11-07 | 11-08 | 11-09 | subttl | |
| Circuits/intensity (3×3pts) | 3 | 3 | 3 | 9 | |||||
| Intervals/intensity (3×2pts) | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 | ||||
| Intermittent Fasts (2×3pts) | 3 | 3 | |||||||
| Diet Coke (7×1pt) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | |||
| Walk or hike (1×2pts) | 2 | 2 | |||||||
| total | 27 | 90% |
I made a couple of changes for the sake of variety, such as dropping one of my intermittent fasts this week. I had enough points to reach my target goal without doing a second fast and I think it’s a good idea to mix them up by varying their duration and frequency. I also did a hike that included enough hills that I felt justified including it as an additional interval training session.
It was actually an easy week. My energy levels and mood were good and, although I had to talk myself into starting a couple of sessions, once I got going I was fine. I increased the weight on some of my lifts and could tell the difference. I repeated Tabata dumbbell thrusters as one of my interval training sessions.
I’ll be visiting family for nine days starting November 24th and intend to use that time as a break from weight training although I plan on walking or doing a couple of interval training sessions. So I may very well extend the 35 42 Day Fall Fitness Challenge to a total of 49 days.
I’m not sure what I’ll do when I return from vacation. Maybe I’ll get some kettlebells or maybe I’ll do all bodyweight training. There are a lot of options and I don’t have a clue at this point.
