What's your weight lifting routine
Hi CB, I do weight training on M-W-F at the office park gym I normally do 3-4 miles on treadmill at an 8 degree incline at 4.2-4.5 miles per hour. I combine this with two full weight circuits of the following; + Start out with 15-20 inclined sit-ups and stretching + Two 10 rep sets on stomach crunch machine @150lbs + Three 10 rep sets on on leg lift machine @120lbs + Three 5 rep sets on leg press machine @320lbs + Three 10 rep sets on assisted dips and pull-up machine + Three 10 rep sets on lat machine @200lbs + Five 10 rep sets doing bicep curls (50lbs) alternating with three 5 rep sets on bench press @160lbs + Three 5 rep sets doing squats @150lbs + Three 10 rep sets on mid rowing machine @200lbs On Saturday and Sunday me and my black lab Jack walk between 5-7 miles each day depending on the weather and temp. I have been on this routine now since last July and it has worked well for me. I have steady increased the weight over the past three months and raised my walking speed and incline. I typically burn around 1200 calories per work out. My weight has stabilized at 244lbs now and it has been steady for about a month. I am 10 months out of surgery and I have lost 216lbs so I am happy where I am but I would still like to drop 20 more pounds just for bragging rights.
