I am on the third month of a modified circuit program starting off with 25 min of cardio do a set of five different exercises then five minutes cardio and repeat three times.
Upper body day I do upper body with shoulder press, dumbbell press, lat pull down, biceps, triceps, lots of ab crunches and squats while olding an Olympic Curl Bar over my head. Lower body day, same amount of cardio with the five minute interlude between sets, walking lunges with dumbells (up to 30 lb a side), Deadlifts, leg press, ab crunches and 25 push ups per set.
I started this back in December tweaking along the way and only just in the past three weeks I have been really able to push myself. Most of January I was sidelined with a nasty cold.
To date, I am feeling more toned, the gut does not show visible signs of shrinking however the belts and pants don't feel quite as tight. The other big pluses with this workout is I keep my heart rate up and it does not take as long as my old workout regime where I kept the cardio and weights seperate.
