I've been at this weight loss thing since November. In that time I've dropped 58 pounds as of this morning. Was doing mostly steady state walking at up until the last month or so. In the last month I've put together a workout that I would like to get some thoughts on.
Now for what I'm trying to accomplish... I started out at 275 (5'10", 30y/o, Male), and now weigh 217. My 'first' goal is 180, then I'll re-evaluate and set another goal.
Please take a gander at the following routine and give me your thoughts. Too much, too little, I'm a genius, beanie babies?
