Any tips or suggestions?/
He works out about 3 times a week running about 2 miles and lifting weights...and has not seen any weight lose.
Me I admit have not been doing anything other than abdominal work and such. |
Has he done anything to change his eating habits? Or has he checked his measurements to see if he has lost inches instead of lbs?
In the past, I have done 6 days of workout.
Monday - Upper Body
Tuesday - Cardio
Wednesday - Lower Body
Thursday - Cardio
Friday - Upper Body
Saturday - Free day
Sunday - Cardio
and then continue the process.
It seemed to work for me. Each cardio section i did anywhere from 30-60 minutes and i didnt do the same thing each time. Maybe running one day and bike the next etc. And when i did the cardio, i would increase me speed every few minutes gradually until i couldnt go up any further and then decrease. Like if im on the bike, id go with level 1 for 3-4 minutes then increase to level 2 for 3-4 minutes etc until i got to a level i couldnt do very well. Typically when the burn was too much. At that point i would go back down to level 1 and start my way back up. Some people say more cardio some people say 20 minutes is enough.
I think it just works differently for different people. Some like to work out in the morning cause it makes them feel energized. If you can get up early to work out then do it so you have ZERO excuses in the evening. I like to do it in the evening because frankly i LOVE sleeping in.
