I’m back with a Vengeance! New workout routine

This log is going to be a 10 week log. In the next 10 weeks I am still going to be focusing on fat loss (as I did not reach my goal of sub 10% bodyfat) but with the addition of trying to build some of the muscle I lost on my last log.

I had to cut the last "cut" shorter than I expected as I was a little burnt out, I got sick, and I had other things to attend to. I now am caught up with everything that I need to be caught up with and my schedule is a little more forgiving.

In this phase, I am going to be keeping the diet the same. I think this is one of the biggest downfalls I had in the last log was too much experimentation with my diet.

The kCal intake will be around 2400 on off days, and 2530 on workout days. I feel like the lower calories I did before was too much of a drop and this way I won’t be so tempted to cheat on my diet (especially with all the holidays coming up). I may start to decrease the total calories if I start to stagnate with my weight, but we’ll see what happens.

Training is going to be done Monday through Friday and each session should only take about 30 minutes as I will only be hitting each bodypart directly once a week. This is the split:

Mon: Upper and Lower Chest, Calves
Tue: Lats, Midback, Abs
Wed: Shoulder, Traps, Forearm
Thu: Quads, Hamstring, Calves
Fri: Bicep, Tricep, Abs
Sat: Swimming
Sun: REST

The only thing that will really change (other than supplements) during this phase will be cardio times. It will go something like this:

Week 1&2: Walk with my dog, Vida for about 20 minutes
Week 3&4:  10 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (30 minutes total)
Week 5&6:  20 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (40 minutes total)
Week 7&8:  30 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (50 minutes total)
Week 9&10: 40 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (60 minutes total)

Here we go baby!!!

(this started this week, so I am just getting up to speed and will post all of the weeks workouts)
