To failure. I'm generally spotting her last few reps on the 4th set. She doesn't always make 10 reps on her 4th set. For instance on her incline dumbbell curls her 4th set was only 5 reps. This was also a new high for her dumbbell curl weight. When I see she can do all 4 sets at 10 reps by herself, I push her to move up in weight.

As long as her form is good - sounds like a plan!!

Cardio....HIIT. Treadmill, Elliptical...whatever. 20-30 minutes of HIIT to get the metabolism up - preferably in the morning on an empty stomach.

Oh...HIIT only needs to be done 2 - 3 days a week and regular steady pace cardio 2 - 3 days a week to make it 5 cardio days. That should be plenty.

I'm sure some of the other girls will chime in here soon. I just happen to be the gabby one right now!!! lol

Thanks for all of the great information! Working on the diet is the hardest part right now. It is so much easier to go for that protein shake then prep a meal.

What is best for HIIT Elliptical?

Your macros look great! As far as HIIT you can do the Elliptical (my fave), treadmill, run outside, stepper....whatever you like.

I have a quick question. Do you still get a good cardio workout in the evening? I noticed a lot of people doing there cardio first thing in the morning and that is something that I am not able to do. What are the differences in training time?

I'm confused is your first meal at 2pm?

 

[Pooh's_Wife]

No, I should have posted for the whole day at once. I had breakfast around 7 am. I listed it above.
