Need to lose a stone in 2 months

Post by teddyrockspin »

Been back at the gym every day since January, and stripped nearly a stone off, however seem to have hit a bit of a block.
I'm running uphill for 30-50 minutes every morning on the treadmill, and just started doing 4000 metres on the rower.

routine now is

Monday - spinning class 30 mins followed by 7 a side football 1 hour
Tuesday and Wednesday off
Thursday - gym for 1 hour ten, mainly cardio, tradmill and rower, followed by squash at 8pm after work

Friday- gym for 1 hour ten, mainly cardio, treadmill and rower, again followed by squash Friday night

Gym Saturday and Sunday.

I am down to 12 stone 6, but want to get to 11,4 so I'm thinking of having an intake of as few a calories as possible and eating no shit at all to get there before may.

What shakes would you reccomend for what I am doing. I am also taking t5 to try keep energy levels as high as poss.

Any advice appreciated, as never gone down the shakes route and google gives billions of options

You don't need shakes and if T5 is a fat burning supplement, forget that, as the possible side effects and useless, unquantifiable results, are not worth the money.

Calories wise, I'd aim for around 2,200 - 2,500 a day, as sedentary men requre a standard 2,000 a day, so you could aim for what I suggested then cut back a bit on non-workout days.

Your cardio looks a bit too much to be honest. You're doing 5 days out of 7, but 4 back to back and on Squash days, you're doubling up.

I'd amend it to possibly this sort of thing.

Monday - 7 a side football 1 hour

Tuesday - squash at 8pm after work

Wednesday off

Thursday - gym for 45 minutes, mainly cardio, treadmill and rower, so that's 15 minutes on each device.

Friday- Squash at 8pm after work.

Gym Saturday and Sunday. Spinning class 30 mins if it's done on one of these days and take the other day off.

You're getting 2 days off, but they're split to stop you training for too many consecutive days and you're still getting provision for 2 squash sessions and your 7 a side and hopefully spinning; so none of those are getting the can.
