![]() It's been a long, hard road, but I did it! And this is how....In general I do 90 minuted of cardio with 30 minutes of resistance 6 days a week. I rest resistance Tuesday and cardio every 10 days or so. My resistance is lower weights but high reps, then heavy every 3rd workout. And I split my body into 3 muscle groups: 1. Legs 2. Chest- triceps - shoulders 3. Arms - back I do a lot of weird things for cardio like military march, boxing type training, dancing, floor rolls, squat thrust intervals and the good ole jumping jack. And I jog, swim, play tennis, fast walk and bike. Lost 64lbs and nearly 20% body fat - it works for me. Diet It was a hard leap for me as well, but after my first initial 30 lbs, I stalled, then did what any disciplined and determined person would. I starved myself. And that worked too for a season, but I was losing lean body mass too much. Long short? I increased calories to almost 3000 to account for my activity level, exercises and other variables, and I thought NO WAY! I was eating less than half that.... Out of the 65 lb total weight loss, half of that resulted from a higher calorie diet but slightly restricted with enough of a deficit to reflect a 1lb weekly weight loss. It worked! And today I have a mere 12 lbs to go, eating around 3000 daily [except on rest days], losing 1 lb each week like clockwork. If your input is right, all will be well. Good Luck! |

Way to go, Bobby!
You've got a great jump on the old "New Year's Resolution" thing. Keep up the good work.
