New workout routine.
New workout routine.
I just started a new workout routine this week and I am feeling it, I did this due to a plateau I was in I was not only not losing weight but actually gaining so here it is please give me some feed back on it!!!!
Before it was:
I work out at 5:00 AM I start with 40 min of cardio and then 40 to 60 min of weights training, I split my weights training in 2 day sessions per body part Monday and Thursday arms, Tuesday and Friday legs and abs and Wednesday and Saturday chest and back.
Now it is:
6:00 A.M. I start on an empty stomach 45 min cardio on a machine called a natural runner I think it is an elliptical and I set it at 65% to 75% of the resistance and an average speed of 3.5 Mph. and a change from going forward and backward randomly.
5:30 P.M. I do weight training for an hour I do Monday and Thursday triceps and chest, Tuesday and Friday Legs and Abs and Wednesday and Saturday biceps, forearm and back. And end everyday with a 10 mile stationary bike ride of about 30 min.
I am still on the fence if I should do the Saturday routine or rest Saturday and Sunday?
I also don’t know if I should continue to take my morning protein shake or not?
Well thanks for reading and I would welcome any feedback.

I have been told that cardio before a weight workout drains your energy and keep you from working hard on the weights. Perhaps you could try and keep the cardio until after the weights or on seperate days i.e. the rest day (Saturday / Sunday)
How do you split your routine between the two days i.e. "Monday and Thrusday - triceps and chest). Do you do the heavy / light method or the same exercises on both days? I will be good to build some variety in.
Also look out for over training as a week in and week out 6 day training program will not allow the muscles to fully recover.
Also look at your diet and get enough sleep. The protein shake after the weights workout is good, but remember to count it into your daily calory consumption.
All of the best with the training!
