If you've been at it for a while, let me suggest a weeks schedule:
2 days on
1 day off (45-50 cardio)
2 days on
1 day off (45-50 min cardio)
1 day off (just rest)By "on" I mean hit the gym. Find a routine that suits you, stick to it but mix it up once in a while to prevent both your muscles getting used to it -and- boredom.
Try not resting more than a minute between sets. If you can, try something like resting for 30 breaths. Benefits from that: keeps your heart pumping at a good level - burns calories - less time in the gym.
Skipping ze beers though...that doesn't really work. Just try to limit it to once a week. Loosing the bottle in the drawer at work sucks.
For cardio I'd recommend doing it with a heart-rate monitor (rather than that ipod infested shoe). With it you'd probably get instructions (if you don't know already. just assuming here...) how to calculate a good bpm to keep your heart rate at. Good to stick too, so you're not running/biking too hard and burning the good stuff (and not the fat) during cardio. Biking is excellent for this, adjusting pace and all to fit your heart rate is so easy.
Works good for me. But it's all individual. Hopefully there's something for you to use in there.
Wait, isn't this a design forum?
