Protein Target
"Prioritize compound, full-body movements that mimic daily activities. Ensure adequate recovery and a diverse intake of plant-based protein sources like legumes, tofu, tempeh, and seitan to support muscle repair and growth."
Focus on consuming a variety of protein-rich plant foods throughout the day, including lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, nuts, and seeds. Supplementing with a vegan protein powder can also be beneficial, especially post-workout.
Exercises that counteract the effects of prolonged sitting are key. Focus on hip-opening movements, glute activation, core stability, and upper back strength. Examples include goblet squats, glute bridges, kettlebell swings, deadlifts (or RDLs), rows, and various plank exercises.
Opt for full-body workouts 2-3 times a week, focusing on compound exercises to maximize efficiency. Consider splitting your workout into shorter segments, using lunch breaks for a quick session, or incorporating active 'micro-breaks' throughout your workday to move and stretch.
