Default Elizabeth's Gym Log

Right now, I'm a member at a local gym and love it. My goals are 3-4 times a week, 30 minutes of weights, 30 minutes of cardio. I usually alternate fat-burning cardo with HIIT.

Today
30 minutes on weights (circuit training)
35 minutes fat-burning mode on the elliptical (400 calories burned)

You need to stop looking at SS (steady state) cardio as "fat burning" because HIIT burns WAY more fat then SS. (Didn't you read that article I posted on the other site?

Oh, and you might as well go all out and tell us the exact exercises you're doing, the number of sets, the number of reps and the weights. You may get some really good suggestions if you do so.

Wow you're going to make me type out all that?!
100% HIIT is it then!

On Weights: (Pretty basic, really)
I always do 10 reps, 2 sets - complete the circuit and then repeat.

Chest press
Shoulder press
Bench Press
Biceps
Triceps
Abs (3 different machines)
Legs (2 machines)
Lat pulldowns
Rows

Well, don't do TOO much, you can over train your legs. SS has it's place after lifting, but cardio only days should be HIIT.

I want you to start changing your routine every 4-6 weeks. A change doesn't have to be a change of the actual exercise you're doing, though it can be (ie. switching from leg press to squats). It can also be changing reps/sets/weights. Since you're doing 2 sets of 10 reps now, I would personally recommend your next routine be higher weight, and, say 3 sets of 6 reps.

I'll yell at you later to stop doing the machines and start doing more free weights.

OK.

Well, I just changed my routine about 2 weeks ago and Im getting ready to go out of town for like a week this week so that will also throw it off. I plan on changing it up like a month from when I get back. I will try the different rep/sets. The only leg machines I do are the ones where you're like in stirrups and you have to close your legs (inner thighs) and the opposite machine (outer thighs).

Dont yell at me about free weights yet! Im just getting the hang of the machines !

Just did weights today -- and a small bit of cardio.
I wanted to try going to the gym before breakfast. I felt so drained. So that's definitely out from now on. Better than nothing, I guess -- but I hate it when my workouts get cut short.

Tomorrow is another day.

I wouldn't be able to go before breakfast. I think I'd pass out. I need to eat about an hour before going.

Kicking this off again!

Last month - I walked 70 Miles! I will not get that many in this month.

Work has been WAY too crazy, with planning the executive christmas party this year. I will do my best though.

I am really liking walk away the pounds! It's really been something I have been able to stick with, no matter what food I am eating or what plan I have been on.
