Thanks everyone for your feedback, time to review and adjust i think

Totally agree, may be I phrased it wrong. I want to lose enough fat to be able to see what is going on underneath, and there is still a fair amount of fat go befor I get to this stage. I can then assess what needs work and what doesn't and put together a program that will reshape me into something I am happier with.…

The idea was to start the weights but contionue to eat the same. I average my intake and exercise over the week and tend to eat 60-70% of my exercise calories (MFP). I think will work to maintain lean mass but am looking for some to say i am on right track

Do you think I should maintain the calorie intake on weights days as if i was doing the same amount of cardio

That is exactly the kind of feedback i am looking for. What do you think about dropping the spin classes and moving the interval to the Tuesday and Thursday

Please can someone with more experience advise me on this exercise regime

Bump

And there was me thinking it was a simple question. This newbie will have to have the answer elsewhere

Can anyone help

[/quote] Cardio is great to create a larger calorie deficit, but adding strength training could help with training for rugby season. However, it sounds like you have a plan for after the jump, so cool. :smile: Just get below that 18 stone marker, do the jump, then the resistance training can start with vengeance As far as…

In all honesty, it is ore like 1 1/2 hrs cardio, and an hour of sauna, swim and shower. I am doing the cardio to get fit for the start of the rugby aseason, to lose body fat and also to get below 18 stone for my freefall jump. When i have done my freefall, i will start the resistance training, with the the cardio 50/50. I…

I could probably prep food for the next day but the thought of eating before going to the gym does not appeal to me, and I really dont want to eat just before I go to bed. Having said that, i could eat food at lunch time and have a meal replacement before the Jim, ensuring one full meal a day. The thing is everything feels…

You would be suprised, I am never hungry, never bloated, full of enegery and mentally alert.

Im open to suggestion here, but I get home at 7pm and head straight to the gym after drinking a meal replacement. I work out, mostly cardio at the moment, until about 9:30pm, and this is when I have a protein shake. Now if I eat before cardio i will be uncomfortable, and if I eat after cardio it is too late in the evening.…

Good advice guys, thanks. I will keep it up and mionitor

I mean food that does not come in the form of a powder or pill

Ok, I don't think you can you do too much damage in 6 weeks and the long term benefits outweigh and negative I think. I am still fit and active, play rugby most weekends but cannot jog due to my back, can't swim and cycling really doesn't appeal. I used to do a lot of weights when I was younger so can get away with losing…
