Hey guys , i recently got back to the gym after 2 years off due to an accident
I gained a lot of weight during that time. Im 31 years old female , 5'1 and currently 149.2 pounds, estimated body fat precentage 35% (using scale in my gym).
I aso was told i was insulin resistant 3 weeks ago
My goal is to be toned , firm and lean
(And to loss my huge belly fat and imporve the look of my cellulites)
So in the last 2 weeks
I was on 1200 Kcal
And i lost 6.6 pounds (i was at 155.8 pounds)
I did cardio mostly combined with minimal strength building )
The first week was horrible (contious headache , fatigue and terrible mood) , i didnt expect cutting soda and all the junk i was eating would do that to me .
Now im going to prioritise weight training in my excersie routine (so i wont lose the littel muscle i still have ) and limit cardio to no more than 20 min 3 times per week
Sat : cardio + abdominal excercises
Sun: leg day
Mon : cardio
Tue : arms and back day
Wed : cardio + abdominal
Thurs : leg day
Friday : cardio
Im doing 3 sets of 12 rep for each excerise ( for one hour)
- Do you think that is a good routine to follow or is it too much ?
I did try to look at different programmes posted here , they are great but seems difficult with focus manly towards upper body
- any rocomendation towards a workout program for those who only want to be toned and more focus for lower body
- At which point i should consider to stop cutting and try to add muscle ( is there a certain body fat precentage ? Im a bit confused about this part
And my last question
- i used to do more cardio if i felt week and consumed more calories than what was allowed ( would that be ok or will it effect my muscle mass (accoring to my gym scale i only have 20%
Thank you in a advnce
