Hi Folks,

Hight : 5-11
Weight : 174 lbs

Target : Ab and Chest

My GYM routine.

Tues/Wed/Thurs : Evening & Saturday - Morning and Sunday - After noon
Cardio/Power Walk :50 min - Stair master, elliptical , cycling ( Combined and flip between above three)
Weight/Ab Crunch : 20-25 min:
AB crunch 10 rep of 80lb
chest press 10 rep of 60lbs
free weight of 10 reps
some machine exercise which i dont know the name but works around ab, shoulder and chest.

Ideally work out for 4 days...but more than often it happens for 5 days a week.

generally on thursday i will just do some free wright and light cardio.


Dont know....what should be my eating routine???????


Please advise
Thanks in advance

Thanks & Regards

It is short sighted to "target" a few muscles. You will just create imbalances which will eventually lead to injuries and limit your results on the targetted muscles. You need to do a good full body routine 3 times a week and cardio 2-3 other days of the week for best results.

Exercise: 3 days a week (with at least 48 hours between sessions) squat, deadlift, benchpress, bent row/pullups, military press
2 sets of 15 reps with a weight you can comfortably lift for 15 reps to start. Then try to add weight as often as you can and still be able to do 15 reps.
Cardio 2 or 3 times a week on days you are not doing weights. 20 minutes of HIIT twice a week. A long slow run of 20-40 minutes if you have time for a 3rd cardio day.

Diet: mostly lean meats, non-fat dairy, eggs, vegetables and fruits. Six small meals a day, around 125-150 grams of protien, 40/40/30 ratio (protien/carbs/fat).

about dinner i have read some where no food after 8 but for me it will not possible as on weekdays i work out in evening....

is there defined gap between workout and eating? like after workout you can not eat for...XX hour/min????


Thanks agin
 
I'd suggest cardio one day, weights the next, and alternate that way. you'll have 2 cardio days in a row, or just take a day off a week so you have 3x weight training days adn 3x cardio days.

after a workout you should eat immediately (not as important with cardio, but critical after weights). preferably a fast digesting protein and carb. this is why so many use a protein shake for post workout nutrition, followed by a whole food meal 60-90 mins after that.

there's nothing wrong with food after 8pm, as long as its the right food...lean protein, healthy fat, fiberous carbs (veggies, not sugars or starches)
