  • High intensity on the arc trainer at the gym, not counting strength training afterwards.
  • I workout between the hours of 8am and 10am. My goals are to lose fat and be lean and fit.
  • Endurance to get through the workouts
  • Thank you this will help a lot
  • Thank you everyone for your input. I will take a look at the articles you guys have mentioned. I am trying to lose weight but also gain muscle and strength, something I really lack in. My main concern I have is losing my mid section from having kids a few years back plus gain muscle in all other areas. After I lose the…
  • Thanks for all input and if any of you out there do a exercise regiment similar let me know how it works for you guys. How you do it because I believe this in gonna be a task. I have no choice though at least not till August when the kids go back to school.
  • This is what i am shooting for exact schedule. I plan on getting up at 4am back home by 5:50am since that is when my husband gets ready to go to work. Go back to bed by 6:15 sleep close to 8am. I figure when I do strength I will do a protein shake or some sort of homemade shake. I will make the homemade with greek yogurt,…
  • I should be fine to go back to sleep but who knows never tried this before.
  • I was thinking the same as long as I do it I should be good. I use to go while the kids were in school but now it's summer and that is not a option but I must keep going. As soon as they go back to school in August of coarse I will go back to going at about 8am to the gym but till then I must get there just like you said.…
  • I thought if anything I will continue to burn calories while I sleep since three of the days will not only be cardio but strength too. Also another question, should I eat before of after? Or should I eat breakfast about 8am when I get up for the day? Sorry for all the questions I just wanna know what is best before I start…
  • Does is matter that I will be going back to bed for about two hours afterwards to get my 8 hours in?
  • cwolfman13 thank you, I think you are right and I will start to aim for 100g a day of protein with some being in the snack before the workout and I am assuming protein after too, like at lunch. I can do healthy fats but they usually come with high calories. But higher calories in such as protein and healthy fats will keep…
  • Looking at my logs I am getting about 50-60g of protein a day with most being at dinner.
  • You guys might be right it could be protein bc the only protein I really get is not till dinner, sometimes lunch, never breakfast. I know I am not coming down with anything because it is week three and I am still run down after my workouts. Maybe I should be adding protein shake or something of that sort with my green…
  • I have my calories set at 1200 but when I enter my cardio it gives me more to eat, which I do eat. So by the end of the day I have eaten about 1500 calories due to exercise. I mainly do green smoothie for breakfast, either a salad, subway sandwich, or another green smoothie for lunch, then dinner is 4 oz of meat and two…
  • You guys are awesome and I think what I am gonna do is find a shoe store here in my town that can help me with what I should be wearing. I am extremely fond of the Nikes since they are on the narrow side and my feet are very narrow but you are right. I need to talk to someone who knows shoes because if I am gonna spend…
  • I do like Reebok so I will look into those and see what I can find. I know they don't have decent Reeboks in store so online I will have to look for those. Thanks guys
  • I am not sure Converse Chuck Taylors have the support I am looking for though. I know right now in the shoes I have the bottom of my feet hurt due to lack of support. I thought about getting them though for looks but not for the gym. :-)
