introduction of sorts

[Guest guest]

Hello!

The Turbo Fanatics also on Yahoo, mentioned this group a few weeks

ago and I have been reading daily messages. Sounds like this is a

group that loves to workout & push play. Me too!!

I just finished a fitness challenge that was home workouts, but not

to videos. It's a " mom's " workout for busy moms that is about 15-20

minutes a day 6 days a week. I do cardio intervals days 2,4 & 6 and

strength training in supersets days 1,3 & 5. I love the strength

training workouts but the cardio isn't enough for me to lose weight.

I have made pretty amazing gains (literally) in muscle mass which has

increased my metabolism, but I have not dropped much in sizes or

inches, although I did lose fat as my fat % went down from 28% down

to 24% in 12 weeks.

So, I am looking to put together a program for myself, as I see

myself as a mix of endo & mesomorph...I put on muscle pretty easily

but tend to hold onto fat & weight. I have had more success when I

do more than 15 minutes of cardio 3x a week. I have many workout

videos as doing my workouts at lunch in my conference room is my

favorite exercise.

I was thinking about doing 10 minute trainer from Tony Horton

(beachbody) every other day and doing Hip Hop Abs after as a sort of

low level fat burning cardio after strength training on days 1, 3 & 5

and doing straight up 60 minutes of Turbo Kick, with the

instructional videos at first, until I am familiar with the round and

then going by notes & iPod on days 2, 4 & 6. I was thinking of trying

to get in some kind of stretch/yoga on day 7. I just looked at

Debbie Sever's Slim Series Express Cool It Off.

Does this sound like too much? I don't really have knee or back

issues and have been doing a fair amount of exercise over the last

six months (even doing jogging fast walking as my intervals. Any

thoughts would be appreciated!

Today I did my Fit Yummy Mummy Intermediate strength workout " B " and

added 15 minutes of Hip Hop Abs " the secret to flat abs " and " fat

burning cardio " which was about 30 minutes. Total workout time was

60 minutes.
