- Cardio - bike 135-160 bpm x 30 min
- Flexibility
Gym was closing so I just did a few stretches I won't do on Tue instead of the full repertoire, as
intended.
- Quads
- Hip flexors
These felt really good ... probably need to do both this and illiotibial.
- Seated glute
- Foam roll illiotibial
Weight: 212. I have a few social dinners over the next two days, then I will lock down the diet for serious near the end of the week. I will give it a couple serious weeks to start working and then make a decision. I've never had serious dieting not work, and I was looking @ 220 classification standards. I really need to go 198.

FYI: cardio for weight-loss is best done around 65-70% of your max heart rate. More than that, and you move into more of an aerobic workout, which although useful will burn less fat. (or so I've been told)
You're probably right about that.
I'm doing this more for my general health than any particular diet plan, though. I will adjust my calories to lose whatever weight is needed. My base metabolism is very high so I've never found excessive cardio to be necessary in the past.
I also have no idea what my "max heart rate" is. The equations they typically give seem a little too cookie-cutter to me. My resting heart rate is higher than most people, even though my general fitness (including cardiovascular) is much better than average. Probably means I'll die early, too.
