I am a woman in my early 30's, 5'4" and 138 lbs. I work seasonally in construction and had been putting in 7 hours of hard labor 5 days a week. I didn't want to lose momentum when the season ended, so I joined a gym and work out 1.5-2 hours a day, 3-4 days a week. I started at the gym six months ago, with a goal of losing fat in trouble spots and building muscle. I look trim and have a lot of muscle but they aren't defined and I would like to fix that. I have been doing 40-50 minutes of cardio, followed by weights. My problems are
1. I'm not losing fat in the problem areas
2. I am getting only slightly stronger, and muscle definition is not improving
3. I use the heaviest weight I can handle, and do reps until my muscles give out, but I am never sore the next day, which makes me feel like nothing is happening.
It feels like all the time I have spent at the gym is wasted. Am I exercising ineffectively? How can I be using my time and energy better?
