Cardio-Resistance Balance???

Hi everyone

im a 22 year old male, athletic(ish). ive been workout out since last september, although i did have a couple of breaks through injury and illness. diet wise im pretty clued up, so just need training advice. i want to be toned and not bulky (swimmers body rather than muscle-bound!). i really need to shift fat of my legs and backside (the only wobbly bit!) so think i need to up the leg workouts, but when ive done this before ive been unable to run the following day.

my current regime is largely about what i feel at the time - it is loosely structured but it leaves me feeling like i could have done (and do) more

This is my workout without resistance training in -


MON - 30 min run + 15 other cardio / abs

TUES - HIIT / side abs

WED - half hour swim /abs

THURS - Football training

FRI - 30 min run/HIIT / abs

SAT - Football (sometimes)

- i need to throw in workouts for Biceps/Triceps/Shoulders/Chest & Legs. How can i do this to maximise what i am doing.

At the minute i do biceps/shoulders one day and triceps/chest the next, and only fit in 1 leg workout a week, partly due to time.

What weights should i do and when in the week? I find that im getting a bit bigger but im not getting the toning and definition that i want.

I know all this 'help me....' 'tell me...' 'how to....' threads are a bit boring and repetitive but i need something more personal. i know the general rules but fitting them into the working week is quite hard, and a personal trainer would be beyond my finances!

Any help is appreciated, thanks very much.

upping leg work wont reduce fat on the legs, you cant spot reduce. do cardio and your fat overall will start to lessen. sorry, cant answer anything else, im not qualified
