Thank you in advance.
I am 6'2", 196lbs (down from 205). I have an athletic looking frame, am a little softer in the pecs & abs than I'd prefer (all decreasing with upped cardio & diet), but I'm nitpicking. I'm toned, trying to be more toned. My workouts vary from week to week, but basically:
I exercise approx 6 days/week, lifting every other day, cardio on all days, with plenty of stretching every day.
Day 1 - shoulders, legs - approx 1hr15 minutes. Bike for 40-50 minutes.
Day 2 - 30 minute core workout - 1 hour running.
Day 3 - chest, triceps - approx 1 hour15min. Bike for 40-50 min.
Day 4 - abs, legs - 30 minutes. 1 hour running.
Day 5 - back, biceps - approx 1 hour. Bike for 45-50 min.
Day 6 - Core workout -30 min. 1 hour running.
Day 7 - off
On lifting days, I'll do 3-4 different exercises for each indicated body part. (3-4 sets for each exercise -12,10,10,8 reps, increasing weight each time)
As I said earlier, there is a lot of variation in my workouts, rarely doing the same exercise from week-to-week for the same body part. For example, from one chest workout to the next, I'll go from barbells to dumbells, free weights to machines, flys/presses, etc. On occasion, I'll skip/add a body part if I fell off schedule, add a few sets of curls or tri pull downs to the mix.
Re: running, I'll run intervals - 2 minutes at 6.0mph, 1 minute at 8mph, for an hour. My cardio also includes jumping rope, stairmaster, eliptical from time-to-time.
On average, it's 60-75 minutes lifting, 45-60 cardio, which takes awhile, but I enjoy it. Hoping these extended workouts aren't detrimental.
Thoughts/suggestions?
Thank you.
