So yesterday I went to the gym and spoke to my trainer and had my weight and measurements taken. I have lost in inches but not so much in weight. As I was talking to her about why my scale isn't moving she tells me that I'm exercising wrong. I have been doing HIIT 3 days a week keeping my HR at 152 for my mild and 171 for my intense. I do light cardio the other 2 days. I do resistance 3 days a week as well. From what she tells me, I have been doing cardio for conditioning and not for weight loss because I have my heart rate too high doing my HIIT. She told me to do a 10min. light cardio warmup followed by a circuit all body workout keeping my heart rate at about 120 or so. I am 31 yrs old. I weight 176lbs and I am 5'5. My resting heart rate is 80. I guess what I'm trying to find out is if this has really been my downfall? What is everyone else's take on this to help me put it in perspective. I am very disappointed as I feel like I've been doing all this hard work for little results.
