Hey there, I am a 25 yr old female......about to begin my last workout cycle. By that I mean I start working out.....do great for a couple of months then digress into a lazy unmotivated person. I have done this a couple of times.....and I am sick of it...most of all I am sick of realizing I do this and just accepting it.
I am not a newbie to the gym, and I have a background in anatomy and know my body systems. What I am doing is establishing myself with people that know what they are doing......and in doing so, I have no excuses for digressing again.
I am 5'7", currently 140 lbs, with a bf of likely 25-28%. My body has been the same visual size for the past 5 years....though I have fluctuated in the bf/muscle proportions.
I have just signed up with a new gym in the town where I work. I was going to a different one where we live, however I was finding that I would go home first, then not get back out to the gym (for the past 2 months .....the lazy portion of my brain has been ruling). Now, I am able to get to the gym right after work. Which with my work schedule will be better than going before work.
I have a decent diet......though a weakness for sweets that I am doing okay at curbing........I have trouble eating things that have little flavour...so I can't wait to check out the recipes section.......
Anyway....I tend to ramble. I work full time, and I intend on hitting the gym M-F after work....... I am not focused on losing fat, as I believe that will come off once I get into a good routine of weight training with cardio mixed in.
Any ideas on what a good M-F training schedule should be?? I know I shouldn't to a full cardio and weights day together......but could I do something like a light cardio with big muscles (chest/back, or legs), and more cardio with smaller areas (arms, or shoulders).??? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks tam
