The plan is: Lower body fat Increase lean muscle mass To do this I have started doing cardio in the mornings (before breakfast) along with an abdominal workout. The "cardio" is really a 40 minute interval workout on the eliptical trainer where i keep my heart rate at 140 for three minutes, then at 126 for three minutes. Then I'll do some abdominals: situps, leg raises, side lateral raises, cable crunches, ab machine now and then (the ab machine is more a begining level exercise I think, but I'll add it sometimes when I get the urge :) ), and side planks. I'll do one or 2 sets of each exercise. This morning I added weight added step exercises, I held 25 pounds in each hand and did 2 sets of ten on each side. This is new and I'm not sure If I will keep it, expand on it, or dump it. I'll probably leave it the same for awhile just to see what the results are. In the afternoons/evenings I do my wieight training. I'm presently on a push/pull routine. I'll do my back and biceps on one day and then on the next day, I'll do chest and shoulders. I'm very happy with the progress that I have made and am still making.
