Hi everyone - wondering if you had any tips on 4 month plans. I've already been losing through diet and cardio for a number of months now, and started weightlifting about 3 weeks ago. Getting married/honeymoon to the BAHAMAS in June... so roughly 4 months is the time in which i want to be completely happy & healthy.

Any suggestions? Been lifting 3-4 times a week.... I'm worried that's not enough to get the results i want but i also don't want to overdo it!

Help?!

    This is my (more than) 4 month plan

    Stay within a calorie deficit
    Lift heavy 3+ days per week
    Mix in high intensity interval training or some good cardio on "non-lift days"
    Get a good night's sleep every night
    Drink lots of water
    Be patient and stick with it

    Congrats on the upcoming nuptuals!

    I don't tend to alternate cardio and lifting but I do try to take a 24 break between muscle groups on the lifting. Ie. M-W-F core and back, T-Th-Sat leg and arms, Sunday rest.

    That's what works best for me.

    Monday - LIFT (biceps & back)
    Tuesday - Cardio, video, bootcamp class, etc
    Wednesday - LIFT (arms and shoulders)
    Thursday - Cardio, video, bootcamp class, etc
    Friday - LIFT (legs)
    Saturday - LIFT (core) + 20 min run
    Sunday - REST (or make up day for a missed workout earlier in the week)

    4 months attainable amount of time to reach my goal? I'm about 125 and already have lifting/cardio habits.. I just wanna kick it up a notch to be to my goal. I would say I wanna weight like 118-120 but I know muscle is gonna weigh more than fat
