I had originally posted my first post in the training section and then suddenly thinking it wasn't the right area to put my post in and thinking it would be better to post it here. Well anywho, here is just a copy and paste of what I wrote there.
Hi everyone! I'm new on the boards and would love to become active on here. I'd love to have some of your opinions on my work out. I've read almost all the stickies and articles here on the website so i'm still learning and processing all the information. >.<
Monday: Upper Body - Biceps, Triceps, Lat, chest, Upper Back, Abs (20 minute cardio before lifting)
Tuesday : 30 -1 hour cardio (Spin bike and hill option on treadmill speed varies)
Wenesday: Lower Body - Quads, hamstring, calves, lower back, Abs, (20 minutes cardio)
Thursday: Cardio day repeat
Friday: Upper + Lower body + Abs (20 minute cardio)
Saturday, Sunday : Rest Days
I'm not relatively new to working out. I use to be a huge advocate for cardio and lost weight through that however, learning via bodybuilding, I hugely incorporated weights into my workout and heavily lessened my cardio.
If it helps, I am:
22 years old
Female
30% Bodyfat (goal is to bring it down to 25% for now)
152 lbs
Calories: 1546 (including the decrease of 15% below maintenance)
Thanks again! :]

Monday - do your cardio after; put more energy into lifting.
Wednesday If you're lifting heavy which you should be for the best results, i wouldn't schedule cardio on this day
How about some light cardio on Saturday or Sunday? Will help with sitffness if you enjoy/feel the need to do cardio. A decent lifting program negates the need for cardio.
Which program is this? Did you create it yourself? Why so much cardio?

You're program seems a bit all over the place. Why are you breaking up back work? When you hit back, train your entire back. Your main focus should be the compound lifts: bench, overhead press, rows, squats, deads, pullups, chinups, etc...
With the cardio you have planned, I'd suggest starting with a solid full body routine.Last edited by kimm4; 11-08-2012 at 05:57 PM.
