Yesterday I jumped on Mark's Daily Apple, for my daily dose of all things Primal. Rather than the usual post, I found that the post for yesterday was announcing the Primal Blueprint Fitness (PBF) eBook. Intrigued, I checked it out. One quick signup to Mark's newsletter later, I was happily downloading the book.
Currently I'm reading my way through it, but I'm happy to say that at long last, it looks like I've found a fitness plan which will be easy to follow. The PBF builds on the three core ideas of the Primal lifestyle, Lots of moving at a slow pace, some lifting of heavy things and a bit of sprinting for good measure. The one thing that I was very happy about was how easily I'm going to be able to fit the exercise plan into my lifestyle.
The suggested plan splits the different areas over 7 days. One thing I was apprehensive about is how I'll be able to fit mountain bike racing into the scheme of things. As it turns out, if I assume that the race takes the place of the sprint workout once the racing season resumes, then everything else just fits nicely around that.
Although I'd dearly like to, I'm not going to jump straight into the PBF workouts. I'd like to give the whole book a read first, so that I can get a better idea of how everything will work. At this stage, I'll be starting the workout plan in one weeks time, as that will give me time to learn more about the workouts involved. It will also give me a chance to see how this will work in my increasingly busy schedule...
