I feel I ought to be doing more but don't know what. Goals are the usual, loses eight, get fitter. I'm fat now.
So I do 20 mins on the cross trainer. Level 5 hardness and about 4 in the incline. HR is about 145 and I feel im working hard.
I then go and do weights. I avoid free weights as I have no idea what to do with them but I use all the machines with the diagrams on them. So seated row, lat pull down, bench press style one, pec one, leg press, couple of other leg ones. I do 12, 10, 8 reps on each one.
At some point during my weights my arms and legs are knackered so I go on the treadmill for ten mins. Very fast walking and steep. But I don't run. Again HR is about 140-145.
And that's it. I am a bit knackered when I finish but should I push myself more....but more cardio or more weights? I'm not sure I could do more weights as I get a bit muscle trembly as it is towards the end.
There's no pool so I can't swim.
