Can someone look at my gym routine? **Advice/Tips Welcome**

I think in theory you have a good basic template. Its hard to say for sure without knowing your overall volume/excercises/goals, etc.

I think your split needs a little work. Are you a beginner? Below I linked a very simple beginner's routine that will give you a very good foundation to start with. You can do version 2 which includes some arms, abs, and calf work in addition to the basics. The key is to get incrementally stronger each time (called progressive overload) while maintaining good form. If that doesn't float your boat there are multiple other routines on the site. Search for stuff like all pro beginner routine, stronglifts, NROL. I just like that authors general style and take on things.

For the kettleballs, I would not make this a weight training session, but a fun way to get some cardio in. If the weight is too heavy it will impact your weight training performance.

Sorry for the back to back posts.

I forgot to add, Congrats on your progress so far! 55 lbs is a great accomplishment. Keep it up and meet those goals.

I think just my 2 cents you need more then 1 rest day I had the best results when I hit the gym for about 45 min to an hour 3 times a week and eating right. The only people I think who need to be there 6 days of the week are competition lifters training etc

That link provided some very really interesting info. Thanks for sharing it.

i certainly dont know a lot about loosing weight, thats why im here, but ill tell you what the personal trainer i have suggested

tones and tones of cardio..

im not sure why you dont want to do cardio, but transferring the weight from fat to muscle happens in phases i understand, and that loosing fat happens first, so if done with good diet... you should see a weight loss, then you can add back that mass over time and with proper placement

just what my trainer suggested for me... so maybe its something to consider ?

What?

id keep the upper and lower training on those days but throw in a full body and keep one kettlebell workout but the other two mix it up maybe HIIT or some other form of cardio you wanna keep your body guessing.

But if you maintain (or increase) your existing muscle mass, your metabolism will increase, making losing easier. Your skin will bounce back better, since you give it something to "grasp" as you lose weight. And your workouts will be easier, with the extra strength.

The approach of lose it all, gain it back is really not the right approach. Especially for women, as we don't just pop on muscle easily.

I am a coach for 36 years and I need more details on your kettle ball, but first impression is if you are trying to lose weight you have to add cardio. a very simple start is to just do add 7 minutes at a time. first time use a treadmill, elliptical, or bike. first week only do 1 of the above, at whatever pace you can comfortably handle. then in week 2 add the second item. and on week three add the third. so after just 3 weeks you are only doing 21 minutes of cardio. maintain this routine until it becomes too easy. then add 3 minute incriments to each routine. working up to a 30 minute cardio total. I suggest this as a easy routine because if you start too hard then you will just get sore and not want to continue.
hope this helps you. coach T
