- Day 1: Chest and abs
- Day 2: Cardio (swimming for the most part) and abs
- Day 3: Back and abs
- Day 4: Cardio (swimming for the most part) and abs
- Day 5: Legs and abs
- Day 6: Shoulders, arms and abs
- Day 7: Cardio (typically elliptical or mix of rowing and stairs)
I also begin every strength training with 5-10 minutes of cardio (to get blood flow up) and end with 5 minutes of stretching. The stretching REALLY helps to minimize soreness. I typically have very light soreness the "morning after" - but nothing uncomfortable. By noon the day after I have no soreness so I think the stretching is helping with recovery. I also will drink a Xypstix (either hot or cold) after each workout.
I almost always have a protein shake as a post workout meal. I generally do two scoops of Lean (88 calories, 30g protein) mixed with skim milk or almond milk. Lean is a powdered protein supplement from Xyngular.
While I have only lost 4 lbs of body weight over that time, the rest of my measurements are as follows:
- Chest - no change
- Waist - lost 1"
- Thigh - no change
- Arms - gain .5"
