Hey guys I have been working on a way to tone up and this is what I have come up with.

Exercise:

Martial Arts 3 times a week for 45 mins
2 times a week the gym - This includes Treadmil and Weights. I am doing 4 sets of 8 reps on the weight machines.


Diet:

My diet is soooo much better now. I have a protein shake every morning I wake up Its the express whey.

For breakfast I have cereal with honey.

Mid morning Snack I have a apple with some nuts.

Lunch I have a turkey and lettuce sandwich with whole wheat granery bread.

Afternoon snack A Banana

Dinner Chicken with potato with brocoli carrots and coliflower.

Snack - Toast

Then a express Whey before bed


I also have the protein shake before and after exercise.




Is this a good program to stick with. Any suggestions would be great.



Many Thanks
 
Am I getting it right that you are having 4 protein shakes a day? (a.m., pre-post workout, and p.m.)? I would suggest working toward getting more of your protein from real food, and less from supplements (although some is ok).

You have a couple of feedings in there that don't include a protein - this is prime opportunity to add in some in the form of food. (like some cottage cheese with that banana) Try to make sure that each time you eat includes a carb/protein combo.

Your eating is overall quite clean, which is good. I don't see a lot of processed stuff, which is great. I would, however, cut a bit of the starches out. I see cereal, breads, potato - that's 5-7 servings depending on how many slices of toast/how large of a potato. The whole grain bread is tons better than white, but you still must be careful with bread consumption. I would cut out the evening toast and replace it with something else.

For your workout...

Martial arts can be a great workout, so that's good.
On the gym days, imo, it's best to seperate the wts and the cardio, but if you are doing them on the same day, make sure you do the wts first, as you want all your energy for that.
I don't prefer the machines for several reasons, however, they can be useful if you aren't yet familiar with free weights. I would suggest getting with a trainer to help familiarize yourself with the weights, and gradually move away from the machines.
