Question Wait until after induction to start BFL?

I am interested in joining the BFL 2003 Challenge. I see that a date of 1/20/03 is available along with 1/6/03. Considering I just started induction today, should I wait until the later date, so I will be done with induction? From my reading, sounds like 20 g of carbs might be too low for this intense exercise.

All advice appreciated!

Hi there achio4444 Congrats on accepting the challenge and on starting Induction! Sounds like you've got some plans to get fit and healthy

Intense cardio and weight lifting on 20g a day is tough; for some it's not even possible. If you're new to high intensity cardio like the 20 MAS (minute aerobic solution) and especially if you're new to lifting weights I would suggest waiting until you've got Induction under your belt. That doesn't mean you can try a few workouts to get a feel for them - in fact that would be something I'd recommend.

Test driving a few upper and lower body workouts and giving one or two 20 MAS's a go will make starting the actual challenge a lot simpler. If you do try this, remember that while doing an upper body workout and then doing some intense cardio a few days later might be doable on 20g of carbs it's not the same as 6 workouts a week.

The biggest challenge to that first 12 week plan is in the planning, IMHO. You can take this two weeks to get that out of the way - when Day 1 arrives you'd be all set.

Any more questions just fire away!
Nat
