Improvement?

I think I can call it an improvement. This week is the last week of my 1-hr gym workout program. I can feel that my chest, back, shoulders and arms has more definitions than before. (Nope I won't post photo yet.)

However the abs seems to have no progress at all. I am not surprised because I don't really keep to a very strict low-carb diet, and I don't intend to go into one anytime in the future. What I will do is to improve on my diet to a more stricter balanced diet.

According to many people I have talked to in my gym, it is no use to do 1000 abs crunch on a daily basis. If you have body fat around your waist, you will never see your abs. The most important thing to see your abs is to reduce your bodyfat to around 10% or less. I am currently at 21% bodyfat, so you can imaging I still have a lot of work to do. :(

To achieve this 10% of bodyfat, other than a stricter balanced diet, I intend to wake up at 6am every Tuesday and Thursday to perform a 15-mins HIIT for another 8 weeks, on top on my existing program.

My program will look like this as a result:

Mon: 1 HR resistance training at gym.
Tue: 15 mins HIIT around my neighbourhood.
Wed:1 HR resistance training at gym.
Thu: 15 mins HIIT around my neighbourhood.
Fri:1 HR resistance training at gym.
Sat: Rest day.
Sun: Swimming at gym.

As you can see, the focus is still to keep it short and sweet. Do less for more. :)
