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.
