Ready To begin!!


Can someone take a look at my current workout program and make some suggestions/criticism/ everything is welcome?. As of right now I am only going to have access to a Weider Crossbow until I get some more $$ for some free weights. Right now my entire workout program consists of cardio only, any suggestions on a program that will not entirely kill me in the beginning?. Anyone out there currently using a cross bow? and can you post your workout schedule for me so I'll have something to go by? I know I look like a cario freak but I have managed to shed almost 25lbs of fat in 7 weeks. ...


All workouts on treadmill at 5mp with bursts to 6mph

Monday -- 50 minutes Cardio
Tuesday -- 50 minutes Cardio
Wednesday -- 50 minutes cardio
Thurdsay -- 50 minutes cardio
Friday -- 50 minutes cardio
Sat -- Off
Sun -- 50 minutes cardio

Losing 25 pounds in 7 weeks has got to be good for your self esteem -- keep up the good work! Any problems with loose skin?

You coul've saved yourself a lot of typing by just saying 50 minutes of cardio 6 days a week.

Add some form of resistance training to add/maintain muscle (which you plan on doing with the CrossBow). This will increase your metabolism, thereby making fat burning easier. Lots of routines posted so look around - probably a whole body routine 3 days per week will work well. If you do that, drop your cardio down to 3 days per week too. Also, what is your diet like?

Been on weight watchers for 7 weeks now, seems to be working pretty good.
