A great big hello, i am a newbie and look forward to sharing and giving advice on these forums and meeting cool new like minded people
Right im just gonna jump right in there . ok primary goal is weight loss. and i don't know if 'routine' is adequate i put it in inverted commas because at the moment it isn't quite structured so all advice would be great.
this is a general outline sometilmes i am to tired to do a full 30 mins
monday
crosstrainer level 1 30min
upper body weights
tuesday
crosstrainer 30 min
lower body weights
wednesday
crosstrainer 20 mins
uper body weights
10 mins bike increasing resistance every minute and a half till i finish at level 10
thursday
crosstrainer 20mins
10 mins bike increasing resistance every minute and a half till i finish at level 10
you wanna get on the full body workouts. 3x a week. mon,wed,fri for instance, with cardio inbetween weight days(which should be switched to hiit cardio for better results)
sorry if this sounds ignorant, but what exactly do you mean by full body workout?
Do you think what i described in terms of increasing the bike level every 90 seconds for ten minutes qualifies as HIIT if so is it enough? if not what do you recommend?
a full body workout means just that-work out your full body in one session. it may sound intimidating but once you step back and look at it, it makes sense.
full body workouts must consist of at least the following:
1#upper body push=(pressups,bench press etc)
2#upper body pull=(chinups/pullups,barbell rows etc)
oh ok i think i get it so instead of breaking up upper and lower body resistance on seperate days, i incorporate it all together?
would i do this on days i do cardio or not? also do you have any feedback for HIIT question. it is quite a bit to get head around, so i hope you don't mind all the questions
cool thanks, and that burns fat?
i must say i do like endurance cardio if i still wanted to incorporate that into routine were do you reccomend i include it?
