Best Exercise Mix?

Would appreciate some expert advice to achieve my continued goal of fat loss and better muscle definition as I have reached a plateau again!! Only 4kgs to go.

I am currently doing:

Mon: 45 - 60 minute walk
Tues a.m. 20 min spin class & 50 min BodyPump Class
Tues p.m. Body Attack
Wed: 45-60 min walk
Thurs a.m. 50 min BodyPump Class
Thurs p.m. Body Attack
Fri: 45-60 min walk
Sat: Off
Sun: 50 minute BodyPump

Is this too much of one type? Not enough of one type?

Also can anyone suggest a website that shows good pushup and chest (with bar) techniques as I have hurt my shoulder.

Hi Milly. I am definitely not an expert, but I can offer some suggestions. It sounds like you have a very busy workout week! I admire your dedication. It does seem like alot of cardio, but I could be wrong...what is a Body pump and Body Attack class? Does that involve any weight lifting? If not, then I would definitely consider replacing some of those classes with some free weights, weight lifting.
You might try on your 45 - 60 minutes walks to add some HIIT intervals in there. Maybe walk at a normal pace for 2 minutes, then for 1 minute you could either walk at a very fast pace, or try jogging, do that 3 or 4 times in your workout time. Those time indication of 2 min/1 min. are just suggestions, you could do 1 minute/ 30 secs., whatever you feel you are able to do that pushes you, but doesn't injure or overtax you.

Also can anyone suggest a website that shows good pushup and chest (with bar) techniques as I have hurt my shoulder.

I've found some really great demonstration videos right here at Shapefit. Here are some exercises that work the shoulders & chest:

Good Luck on your continued success!

Howdy! About how long have you been on this schedule? I have found that BodyPump classes are good to start with, but that after a bit it can be beneficial to branch out on your own and get into more "serious" weights. Sometimes mixing up your workout or diet can really help knock you off a plateau and get your on your way!

I agree with Lynne (who is very good and very modest!) that maybe some more intesnse cardio on a few of your walk days could be beneficial.

Good luck!

I agree with both posts here. Adding more resistance training would be a great change up as would doing shorter more high intensity training and saving a little more time for your recovery. Try adding sprints on a cycle of if you can run it'll really spark your weight loss. Lastly don't forget to get at 7-8 hours sleep.Inadequate sleep is associated with weight gain.
