Hi there! I know this isn't the right place to comment, but I couldn't find an email for you. I am also vegan (yay), a Registered Dietitian and currently in school to become a Physician Assistant! In two weeks I'm going to Cancun for a few days and as I was searching for resources - a page on Wellsphere with your blog about going to Cancun (2008) popped up! So I decided to write and ask your advice!! My email is: melanieabaker@gmail.com - please write when you can, thanks!!!
I'm looking to get back to some regular exercise. I've done cardio and some strength work in the past but ultimately I get bored with the workout. I have tried running and biking and have had similar problems.
I've read recently about interval training and was wondering if there's a scientific/medical basis to it. As I understand it, one does intense bursts of some skill between periods of lower intensity activity. Typical workouts for beginners are 30 or so minutes which I think I could handle. This is supposed to reduce frustrating plateaus and potentially add variety through a mix of skills that can keep things fresh for the long haul.
I would like to ensure that this isn't snake oil before trying it, though. This would be in conjunction with a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet which I've maintained for a long time.
