I was wondering if anyone could give me a few tips on my running? I've started running litterally every day after work mon-fri. I'm 21/Male and just trying to shift this beer gut. I do 2 mins walking on effort level 3, then 2 minutes gentle jogging to get warmed up, then I pace myself at effort level 5-6 which is 7.5 on the machine which is fairly quick jogging, I wouldnt say sprinting but it certaintly isn't slow. I then do this for 16minutes making a 20minute session, then a 1 minute cooldown period. I then do 1000metres rowing and 1-2km on a bicycle machine afterwards. Does this sound like i'm easily doing enough to get this weight shifting?
My other question is, once I have completed this workout, I then go and do my weight training purely for my top half, triceps, stomach crunches and chest area. I do this only on mon, wed, and fri giving my muscles time to regenerate in the days between. Is this ok aslong as I don't try to do weights with my legs? I really want to get this weight shifted quickly and will do anything to do it. My g/f has noticed that even within 2months my stomach is looking a lot slimer, do I simply continue to do what i'm doing now as it seems to be working?
My diet is...
Special K in morning with skimmed milk or fruit smoothie
Brown bread sarnie with most of the time, tuna about 10:30-10:45am
Salad (egg, lettuce, tomato, tuna and a bit of cheese) and a bag of low fat snack-a-jacks or low fat yoghurt around 1:00-1:30pm
I then hit the gym after work around 6:00pm and eat my meal around 8:00pm at night (about an hour after i've worked out) which I try to keep to brown pasta mostly with different toppings such as cottage cheese etc.
Sorry for the long thread but I know whoever replies will appreciate everything that I do in one post rather than having to ask all the details
