Ive been training, mainly cardio, on an off for the last few years, in fact at the age of 23 I was diagnosed with high BP, mainly due to me being a fat lazy ****
Anyway Ive been yoyo'ing for a number of years,but fortunately Ive never hit the peaks I was at before.
But I did get a touch too heavy earlier this year, so I decided to do something about it for once and for all,Ive been running for nearly 2 years with much sucess, I was running 10 miles last summer until my shins gave way and it totally threw me of the routine.
Anyway Ive been working on the running again and im upto 7 miles, and ive lost weight(from 84kg down to 78kgs), but now looking at all the threads here I'd like to do weights aswell.
This is what im currently doing:
Monday: 7 miles running
Tuesday:
15 mins bike
2 fast miles (treadmill)
20 mins x trainer
Chest work -
DB bench press
DB Incline bench press
DB decline Bench press
DB fly
Pull over
Back work -
BOR
DB lying row
Barbell pullover
Dumbell shrug
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - 7 mile run
Friday -
20 min Bike
20 min Xtrainer
10 min Rower
Arms -
DB kickback
DB lying tricep ext
DB tricep ext
DB curl
DB preacher curl
Shoulders -
DB lateral raise
DB raise
DB upright row
DB lying rear lateral raise
DB lying rear delt row
Arnold press
DB hammer curl
Thats all using DB's at home.I could do with adding some leg work tho.
Not really sure what my goal is, ultimately I want to lose weight, and drop my BF down, I loosely follow a low carb diet (40-50gms a day) so my diets ok ish.Im 5'6 and my ideal weight is 11st ish I guess,Im currently at 12st4, so a long way to go
Im happy with the cardio I do, I just dont want a runners physique (which is why Ive ditched trying to run marathons).
So what do you reckon on the weights, too much, not enough, what should I add, im only doing low weights at the mo, as im trying to get my form spot on, years of using machines hasnt helped my stabiliser muscles tbh.
