Do you have any tips for the new year I can use? I broke 3 ribs playing rugby at the weekend and have therefore been advised to avoid contact sports and 'training in the gym' for atleast 3/4 weeks. Is there anything I can still do on a daily basis that wont impede rehab? ie seated lower body work / very gentle cycling (not spinning) so Im not completely idle for a month? I would really like to know the best way to reduce my body fat percentage from 19% to 14% in 10 weeks, is that possible? can you suggest a diet to support muscles strength training but no mass increase? I am currently doing a mixture of weight training and spinning at the gym which I am reasonably happy with. Next year I want to incorporate some new stuff into my routine (some of it I have started already but had to hold due to slight injury) For next year I want to continue with the new stuff (climbing, kettlebell training, martial arts or boxing) and also try to increase muscle mass by continuing with the weights (SCS etc). I would like to retain one spin session (because its good for cardio & i enjoy doing it). As I can only visit the gym from Monday to Friday my plan of action would be something like this : Monday : Kettlebell (class) Tuesday : Spin (class) Wed : Rest Day Thurs : Muay Thai Kick boxing (class) Friday : SCS (class) Early morning climb maybe 1-2 days per week for 30 mins before work. Saturday : martial arts training closer to home (dont live in London). My diet is a good balance of protein/carbs with supplementation (PH Synergy) I guess the questions are: 1) Is it too much training? 2) Is it a good balance for muscle gain/weight loss? 3) How often should I change the routine around? 4) Can my body tolerate it? (41 yrs old!) Thanks
