Couldn't think of any way to word the title, but at least I might elicit attention from people ready to show me the error of the spot-training ways. That's not what i mean, though.
I've been going to the gym for a month or so now, getting into a routine of going every other day. I started out on the treadmill, and then met with a personal trainer (the gym offered a session with one for free) to figure out a plan to weight train (resistance training?). I've been dieting as best I can, which I posted about here.
I've seen a few dropped pant-sizes but I'm curious if I'm doing the right thing here. My goal, as it were, is to lose the amount of fat tissue I have on my breasts... Any results are fine, but I've been looking around and it's hard to figure out in the sea of internet "LOSE WEIGHT NOW!!11" ads what to do and if I'm going about it the right way.
Nowadays I bike around 5-10 miles per day, which is about the time/distance I ran at the gym every morning, so I'm wondering if I should concentrate more on resistance training. The personal trainer gave me a general "toning" plan that is basically 14 routines for the upper body one day, and 8 routines for the lower body another day. I don't have specifics (the routines/machine names are on a paper at the gym) but they seem to be working a lot of major muscles. Is that enough? Should I go boldly forward, or is there a better way to go about things? Should I do specific exercises or machines? Is more cardio the way to go?
To reiterate, I'm not looking for some miracle routine or something... I'm dedicating myself to this exercise craze for at least the next few semesters (because let's face it, class comes first) and I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
