kicking my butt
Well, I’m a week+ into working out 2x a day. I think my morning cardio sessions are giving me greater intensity in my lifts during the evening. I went up in weight on some of the exercises (80lb dumbbell shoulder presses, 90lb bentover dumbbell rows and others) which felt great. I had some diet indiscretions over the weekend but I’m not feeling too guilty over it - not too serious and somewhat warranted considering the occassions.
I haven’t shed any lbs yet but I’m working my ass off. I can feel it. However, I weigh myself before cardio and I’m at 220lbs, post cardio I’m 217/218lbs. During the day, I’m rehydrating myself pretty well. I hope I’m adding muscle and burning BF% thus explaing why I haven’t dropped weight. Time will tell. I may look at reducing calories if I don’t see progress. I’m on a reduced carb diet and can’t be taking in more the 3K of calories a day but I’m not really counting either so maybe I should - always hated doing that.
Monday Morning - Cardio 20 minutes on eliptical, 25 minutes on treadmill and 20 minutes on StairMaster.
Monday Evening - Met with a trainer and hit core/abs for 30minutes and followed up with medium chest workout for 60minutes
Tuesday Morning - Cardio, 15 minutes on eliptical, 20 minutes on treadmill and 15 minutes on StairMaster
Tuesday Evening - This will be a leg workout…

So you are doing cardio in the morning and lifting at night, correct? I was wondering if you were hitting the weights twice a day, well that’s at least what I thought when you said you were hitting the gym twice a day. Sounds like it’s working out for you. Keep up the hard work and it will pay off.
