So I've been hitting the gym four to five times per week for about two months now. I really enjoy it and I'm noticing results. I'm losing fat, but gaining muscle, and staying at about the same weight. I wanted to see what you guys think about what I've been doing. Here's what I do:
-Cardio until my heart rate reaches 130
-Isolation machine 1 - Lift at a weight such that I can do 10-15, but no more
-Isolation machine 2 - Lift at a weight such that I can do 10-15, but no more
-Isolation machine 3 - Lift at a weight such that I can do 10-15, but no more
-Isolation machine 4 - Lift at a weight such that I can do 10-15, but no more
-Cardio until my heart rate reaches 140
-Isolation machine 1..4 - Lift at a weight such that I can do 5-8, but no more
-Cardio until my heart rate reaches 140
-Isolation machine 1 - Lift at a weight such that I can do 1-4, but no more
-Isolation machine 1 - Lower weight by ~25%. Lift until I can't do any more
-Isolation machine 1 - Lower weight by another ~25%. Lift until I can't do any more
-Isolation machine 1 - Lower weight to a couple of plates. Lift until I can't do any more
-Isolation machine 2 - Lift at a weight such that I can do 1-4, but no more
And so on through however many different exercises I'm doing. I then walk back to work. This usually takes 25-40 minutes. Any thoughts? Also, at what point (if any) should I be looking into protein supplements? I'll usually have a Greek yogurt for breakfast, a natural peanut butter on wheat sandwich (I drain off most of the oil on a new jar to get rid of the fat), and then something like Subway or a rotisserie chicken for dinner. I may snack on fruit or broccoli during the day. I'm bad on the weekends, but I'm trying to cut that back.
So what do you all think?
