changes in workout/lifestyle okay?
Alright. Ever since 1.5 weeks ago, i had been HIIT cardio 5 times a week and 3 days a week intense weightlifting. Then I started taking wellbutrin (for my highly unsatisfactory or productive moodswings...) and changed my lifting regimen. I started learning to do olympic lifting- which is pretty intense- in addition to the other 3 days of lifting (which is 1 day deadlift plus abs and 1 day squat plus abs or etc.)
The problem is that i have completely dropped cardio (i did it before RELIGIOUSLY, and had recently added an hour intense walk.) I have pretty much no motivation to do cardio.
I was thinking that it was the medication somehow messing with whatever part of my brain likes to do cardio; or that maybe i was burned out...i feel pretty guilty.
So, my question is- with all the weightlifting i am doing, am i getting enough exercise? The lifts i do pretty much work my entire body.
Do you think i can cut out another week of cardio (until i hopefully feel like it; but i will force myself to even if i don't, though)????
