Exercise Plan Formalised and Review



Finally sat down and thought through what I intend to do for the next few weeks to get into shape.
Came up with the above.
I hope it all works out.

ANYWAY...

I was saying I'm not sure how helpful this comment is going to be but I just have some weight loss tips.

My personal trainer was saying that if you want to lose weight, you should be doing 4-6 cardio sessions + up to 2 strength training sessions a week. Each session is 45 minutes long. Cardio can be anything, while strength training is any resistance training, yoga or pilates (I like yoga because I find it's very calming).

Also, doing cardio on the exercise bike is really the best cardio ever because it burns the most calories (I sweat more than at any other cardio) and at the same time is easy on the knees and other joints. You should start at 30mins and move up to 45mins of bike. You should also alternate between 30secs of sprints, followed by 30 secs of recovery for 3-5minutes in total and your heart rate from the sprints should be 30 beats per 10 seconds.

This really works, 4-6 cardio + 2 strength a week. You will feel really tired and hungry the first week or two, but after that you'll be fine.

It's up to you.

You can come for a trial at Lindsay's and my gym if you want. They are really, really good. The classes are fantastic and the trainers are really supportive, it's great.

It will also be much cheaper than any of those weight-loss diet crap
