Wens - Zumba Cardio (30 - 45 mins) @ 10 am

    I'm working with my husband on that. He knows way more than I do. Basically on tues I just want to do a circuit of the upper body machines, like shoulders, chest, back, biceps, triceps.
    And then thursday would be legs and abs.

    Your weekly outline doesn't look bad. Looks like plenty, as long as you aren't feeling run down, it seems like it's going well.


    Just focus on good compound lifts on your weight training days. Bench/Squats/Deadlifts/Pullups/Rows should be the mainstays.

    The only thing I would look at is the 30-day shred. It's designed to do 30 days consecutively; however, you are still working muscles so it really may not matter. It will still give some effect.

    If you feel like this is too much before altering your entire workout schedule change your rest days to split it up so your not working out 5 days in row. I also workout 5 days a week and for 10 weeks during my classes, internship, and work I had to workout 5 days in a row and was thankful when it was over so I could split up my days.

    Overall I think your schedule looks good :)

    Actually according to Jillian Michaels it wasnt designed to do 30 days consecutively, yes people see results and yes people do it that way but according to her it was a marketing name her people came up with, her ideal plan was 2 days 30DS, 1 day cardio, 2 days 30 day shred, 1 day cardio and rest day, but really its up to the individual on what they want to do.

    looks good. 5 days is ideal! But, you should space your rest days out. Maybe Sunday, and Wednesday? Also, try staggering your times you work out. Some days do in the am and others in the pm. If you body gets used to a routine, You will see less results.. Another idea might be to break your cardio and weights up.

    Monday: Cardio
    Tuesday: Weights
    Wednesday: Rest
    Thursday: Crdio
    Friday Weights
    Saturday: Cardio
    Sunday Rest.

    Good Luck!
