    I work out 3-4 times per week. I never know what I'm going to do until I get in there. Sometimes, I lift one or two muscle groups, sometimes I do 30 min of HIIT, sometimes I do both. Just depends on what I feel like that day. I know, I know, not very regimented. That being said, I find it interesting that what you eat is the #1 most important part of the equation. I didn't realize that until I started hanging out here. I used to think "kill yourself in the gym 6 days a week" was the way. That's misinformation. Don't get me wrong, I obviously believe in working out or I wouldn't be doing it. However, Getting that calorie count right is the number one secret to accomplishing your goal.

    Thankfully, I have a good friend who is uber motivated and she and I have been going jogging (2-3 miles) at 6 am every morning before work. The days I can't jog, I try to incorporate P90X into my day (mainly on the weekends). I am not strong enough to complete the whole disc of the workouts yet, however I do as much as I can. Already seeing results, so I might just keep this routine up for a while :)

    Tues/Thurs/Sat - Mark Rippetoe's SS Practical Programming. Squat, Deadlift, Bench, Overhead Press, Pull / Chin Ups. Plus I add in 10-20 minutes of cardio and a couple other lifts depending on the day just to be sure there's no gas left in the tank. (I need a spotter)

    M-F - Army PRT for an hour in the morning because I'm currently being forced. Come December this nonsense will stop.

    Most importantly - eating appropriately

    Oh and for all you guys that know what they're doing with lifting weights...

    I'm tired of following a damn dvd for weights so I figured I'd compile my favorites and do my own thing
    Now is it true for more lean muscle to do the lighter weights at 12-15reps?

    This book will blow your mind about women and weight lifting:

    This is actually in my shopping cart on Amazon...I'm addicted to amazon :laugh:
