G'day
Just thought I'd post this here - there are so many helpful sections in the forum! Hi to all from down under :action11:
I'm trying to lose a little bit of weight, so I've been exercising about 4x a week for the last few months. I'm 6 foot, 195 pounds, 27yo. Eat mainly ok - no junk food, only drink water and a few beers every few days. Usually have cereal/porridge, then a subway foot long for lunch and chicken/beef/salad for dinner.
I've built up a bit of muscle around the chest/arms/shoulders but still have a bit of a belly. I've been doing the following workout (minus the lunges) about 3 times each session
Randy Couture training
with 10-15 kg (20-35lbs) weights, less if I just want cardio (more reps) along with medium weight arm curls, shrugs, etc nothing too hardcore.
I usually go for a 10 min bicycle session, or a short jog after weights for cardio, so about 40 min per day.
My thighs seem to be getting bigger, and this isn't really what I want, as some important bits are getting squished! So what I was wondering was this a result of the bike riding? I often go for 30-60min rides on the bicycle for cardio/recreation but I never push too hard. In the weights I don't really do many squats as I don't want big thighs.
Any help appreciated!
