Hi All,
Thinking of proper hitting the gym and loosing this weight and getting my goal. Here is my idea:
Monday- 45 mins cardio - tredmill on a 4 incline , 25 min strength training on shoulders, chest and tricepts.
Tues - hour of cardio
Weds - 45 mins cardio - tredmill on a 4 incline, 25 mins strength training on core, bicepts, back.
Thurs - hour of cardio
Friday - 35 mins cardio - tredmill on a 4 incline, 25 mins leg day.
Weekend rest,
What you guys think ?

I think that's a ridiculous amount of cardio and overall an inefficient plan.
Try a 3x weem full body program consisting mostly of compound lifts, add some cardio if you'd like. Maybe one day moderate steady state, & a quick finisher after 2 of your strength days.0 -
Okay, the tues and thurs was mainly to get me out of the house but I can do some fitness at home using xbox fitness mossa fight which does full body training.0

Why do you do biceps twice?0

did I put them down twice? monday is triceps and weds is biceps0

if your goal is to lose weight, that happens in the kitchen not in the gym. all that cardio only helps a tiny bit, spend some of that cardio time planning and prepping healthy meals instead.0

Im already on that

Im guessing the common consensus is less cardio more muscle0 -
Push Pull Legs is a very common split set up so it looks good to me.
One thing I might suggest though is moving shoulders to leg day. There's nothing bad about the way you have it set up especially because some shoulder exercises work your triceps, but it just seems like Monday has a lot going on working 3 muscle groups.
Overall though it looks like a good break down just make sure you have a good routine to go with that split.
I agree you don't need that much cardio but if you enjoy doing that much there is no reason not to. Just be careful about how that's effecting your calorie intake.

You'd be better served doing a structured full body lifting program 3x per week...it should take you about an hour. From there, hit the cardio for 60 minutes or so on your non lifting days. Spending 25 minutes doing some resistance training really isn't going to do much for you.
I do cardio on my lifting days as well, but I do it in the AM and I lift in the PM...I like to be able to give 100% to whatever I'm putting my effort into and that's not going to happen if I'm spending 45 minutes doing cardio and then crawling under a barbell immediately afterwards.
I'm a cyclist so I do a lot of cardio, but not to the detriment of my resistance training...even when I'm training for an event I still get in resistance work, albeit the programming is different.0 -
why is everyone hating so hard on 5 days of cardio? especially when it sounds like it's just going to be walking on a treadmill with a slight incline or maybe some elliptical work. i HAAAAATE cardio and yet right now i'm running 4x a week and will be for another 8 weeks. 5 days of steady state isn't a ridiculous amount in and of itself and paired with that moderate lifting program isn't not like recovery is going to be impaired.0

i would suggest that you find a good beginner program like strong lifts or all pro beginner, and then do some cardio on your off days...0

Thanks for the defence haha, it woukd actually be running for the full period, maybe with one break. Im doing the cardio as I enjoy it but its to help increase my calorie intake for the day,0 -

Do that much cardio if you enjoy it. But a decent strength training routine will help more with the 'toning'.
