Just started getting back to working out 4 weeks ago. I have a very busy schedule with kids and work. So, what I have been doing is this:
Monday: Cardio 30min @ 7am/ Chest @ noon 35min/ Cardio 30min @ 8pm
Tuesday: Cardio 30min @ 7am/ Back @ noon 35min/ Cardio 30min @ 8pm
Wednesday: Cardio 30min @ 7am/ Bi's and tri's @ noon 35min/ Cardio 30min @ 8pm
Thursday: Cardio 30min @ 7am/ Shoulders @ noon 35min/ Cardio 30min @ 8pm
Friday: Cardio 30min @ 7am/ Legs @ noon 35min/ Cardio 30min @ 8pm
Sat & Sun Cardio 30min in am and 30min in pm each day
After lifting I do 3 sets 25 crunches/3 sets 15 leg raises
My current weight is 195lbs, my goal is to be around 175-180lbs.
My staring weight was 200lbs four wks ago, so I've only lost 5lbs.
Diet: Breakfast-1 cup Raisin Bran, 1 banana
Lunch-Grilled chicken salad w/ low fat dressing
Dinner-Varies from spaghetti to hamburgers
Mon-Fri I have a protein drink before and after workout and sometimes at night.
Sat-Sun 1 I have 1 protein drink.
I'm getting stronger, but I can't seem to lose more weight. Someone told me I'm probably doing too much cardio.
Is it ok to split up lifting and cardio like this? I can only lift during my lunch hour at the gym across the street, and I do the cardio at home.
