I've been working out for a couple of months though I've been doing it correctly since the beginning of June - this is when I joined the gym and started my cardio activity. Of course, it's been too little time since the cardio training began to see any actual results, and probably I'm expecting some overnight change, but making sure can never be too bad! :p
My exercise routine:
- I'm not gonna post the weight I use on each rutine because I don't remember, but the exercises are pretty tough and I tend to fail on the last reps.
Sunday - cardio
20-30 minutes on a threadmill on an average speed of 8 km/hour that's 4.9 miles/hour with a 3 incline.
20 minutes on an elliptical on a fat burning program lvl 3.
Monday - chest, shoulders, back, biceps, triceps.
* chest and triceps - 6sets/6reps of dips (on that machine that allows to add weight to the bench you're standing on thus making it easier to dip/pull up).
* Chest - 6/6 chest press
* Shoulders - lateral raise w/ 3 kg dumbbells
* Back and biceps - 6/6 assisted pull ups
* Triceps - 6/6 cable curl
* Biceps - curls w/ 6 kg dumbbells
* 20 minutes of moderate threadmill pacing
Tuesday - legs and abs
* Quads - 5/6 good old squats w/ 7 kg dumbbell in each hand
* Hamstrings - 6/6 Seated leg curls
* Hips - 6/6 seated hip adduction
* Thighs - 6/6 transverse adduction
* Calves - 6/6 calf raise
* Abs - 5/10 crunches.
* 20 minutes of moderate ellipticall work out.
W - like sunday
T - like monday
F - like tuesday
My calloric intake is 1000-1300 callories a day with micro ratio of ~ 30%Proteins : 50%Carbs : 20%Fat
My goal is to loose fat. Am I doing too little cardio and too much weight training? Should I go down to 2 weight lifting days/week and increase my cardio? I LOVE weight training, and I HATE cardio :o
Any words would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Gila.
