opinions on a new routine

RainbootsToBikinis

Today I started working out with a personal trainer again and she recommended that I do 2-3 strength training sessions a week and then 3-4 cardio days a week. Each on a different day. Here's What I'm thinking of doing

Monday: strength
Tuesday: Insanity
Wednesday: rest or walk only day
Thursday: strength with PT
Friday: Insanity
Saturday: strength
Sunday: Insanity

Strength days would be repeat the workout she gives me on Thursday with a new strength workout each Thursday. I can make it to the gym everyday of the week if you guys think doing the elliptical would be more beneficial than insanity? I could also add in 30 minutes of cardio after my strength training workout.

I have Insanity, P90X, and 30 Day Shred that I can do instead.

I planned Wednesday as my rest day so I would be fresher to start a new routine Thursday.

My goal is to lose 30 more pounds by June 1st.

The routine sounds right since you added a rest day, that is important. Get into a routine and see if that works. What I like to do, once you get a good routine, like after a 2-3 weeks is to do double workouts. Once in the morning and then later on in the day. You will be exhausted, but dont hurt yourself and make sure you eat. The idea is to trick your body, the idea of routine is good but the body just makes it seem like an everyday thing.

I will friend you and you can check out my food and excercise diary. I am pretty new to MFP, but my workout will change in a few weeks. I have been working out since Nov and dropped about 13-14 lbs by eating healthy and working out.

Try this challenge for 8 weeks:

200 squats
200 cruches/sit ups
100 push ups

You can split them up, 4 sets at 50/25 respecitively throughout the day and whatever works for your schedule. After the 8 weeks try something else or when your body gets use to the challenge switch it up with clapping between push ups or doing elbow knee crunches (called bicycles) or change your squats to squat jumps (yeah those are fun!!!!)
