Just curious what you guys are focussing on?
Im male, middle aged and went from 215 ish lbs to 180lbs through calorie counting. My target weight is 154.
I started in the gym about a month ago and initially did 3 sessions a week of pure weight training. Initially i gained a lot of weight while weight training (back up to 185!) , which i guess was water as it is back off now.
Last week i switched to 4 sessions a week, 2 of weights (whole body workouts at 90 minutes) and 2 days where i do an hour jogging on the treadmill.
I think the cardio will be good for me in terms of heart health, but im aware the calories burned each jogging session (about 650 calories) are not a lot and that my weight training will be sub optimal from only 2 sessions a week.
I am starting to get the exercise bug and actually considering adding an hour in the pool to make it 2 cardio and 2 weight training and one swim a week.
How do you all balance it? Do you focus mostly on weight training? Do you find cardio negatively impacts your weight training gains?
Thanks.
