Hay Guys, I want to know if what i am doing is right. I am trying to lose weight (especially lose the love handles, Belly and man boobs) and gain muscle definition. I workout 5 days a week twice a day Fri - Tus off Wed & Thu. I do 22 Mins interval training on the Elliptical when i wake up, then i do circuit training alternating between weights and elliptical in the afternoon 3 sets.

My diet is: whey protein shake for breakfast after the wokou, Light lunch, whey Protein shake after the afternoon workout, fruits for a snack in the early evening then a regular dinner.

could anyone tell me if i am doing the right thing Please.
 
AHey Max, welcome to the forum!

How long have you been following this routine? And can you give me a few more details about what you do for strength training? Exercises, intensity, etc.
 
Hi PLBFitness,


I have been doing the routine for a month now. What i do for strength training is the following: I start with 5 mins on the Ellip, Squats with 10 KG, machine lateral pull-down, single leg standing calf raise, machine siting bench press, machine pullback, machine triceps kick front palms forward, machine bicep curl, ab crunch on ball, machine chest curl, machine triceps kick front palms in, dumbbell bicep curl, bum bell military press, ab crunch on ball. butterfly shoulder with body lastics. 12 reps 3 super sets no rest between execersises with 5 mins of ellip between each set. at the end i do 10 mins on the elliptical interval high low every 2 mins.

Hi There! Just maybe make sure you don't get carried out with a heavy dinner since you've already got an early dinner snack. :)

Hi MCloss


mixed reviews really, I seem to have not lost any KGs but i do notice a difference in my shape. so something is right.
 
Hi Ryan,


Thanx for the reply. Since living in Saudi dinner is usually no earlier than 9:30 so by that time I'm pretty hungry. I wanted to ask another question, Is it true that if i do not want to game mass or bulk and just want lean definition then i should use lighter waits with faster reps?


Thanx

Hey Max,

I began going to the gym last November till January. During January, I was traveling and hardly hit the gym. Then from Feb till now been hitting the gym super hard.

I do cardio (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike) for 45 minutes 5-6 times a week.

2 times a week I work with a trainer at the gym, he usually has me do some light weights, many reps and combo exercises. For example, bench press with 10 kilos, 25 reps. Then straight to the bench machine on lite weights, 30 reps, then 2 mins on the bicycle.

I do something like that for 3 reps. Then move onto another combo. I do 2 or 3 of those then do some kind of floor exercises like a yoga stance or balancing.

I've lost about ten kilos but been at the same weight for about two weeks now. My clothes are def fitting better and I am feeling great.

I think your doing good, you may want to boost one of those cardio sessions to 30 mins and add some weights a few times a week. Do a circuit or light weights lots of reps. Basically keep the heart rate elevated fora longer period of time for max caloric burn.

I'm not an expert but I think that's probably the best way for weight loss.

Manage what you eat by making better choices and don't beat yourself up for slipping once in a while. Some weeks you'll be perfect and some you'll have the occasional pizza or whatever but within a year you should be able to reach your goal.
