shajufx, I think your Day 1/3/5 schedule is a little too aggressive. Too many muscle groups on the same day. Unless you are splitting the groups for different days.

agreed it looks more like circuit training to make things interesting

[vikram18]

It is like circuit training, but then his goal is fat loss, so it should work the fastest!

[prabhuav]

That is almost exactly what I am doing too. In my case the weights that I am working with are piddly - max 60 pounds.

[pranavt]

He's going for weight loss primarily, and the weight training is to build up some muscles to firm up the body. He could work out everyday and still recover before the next workout.

Shajufx: You sure you want to consume such a heavy dinner mainly consisting carbs? I would consider rice an absolute NO in the evening or at night. Also, since you have an option between biscuits and fruits, stick to fruits. Stay away from biscuits.

Thanks for the first comment ! Infact I finish the whole routine of Day 1/3/5 in almost 50 mts flat and never feel tired. Today was my 2/4/6 day. To tell you the truth, I have no clue how this schedule is expected to be in 1 hour by any chance and its very tiring too !

Treadmill 15 mins :
Efx 15 mins :
Cycling 20 mins : These 3 items itself takes 50 mts flat. The first warming up 5 mts and the end part cooling down 5 mts totals it to 60 mts. Remaining stretching, shoulder, Abs etc. can not be completed in 30 mts. So I personally feel 1/3/5 is a clean time bound and tireless routine, where as 2/4/6 is exhausting and consuming extra 30 mts. I need to consult the Physiotherapist if its not balanced well. Please continue your suggestions !cheers:

Even I give last preference to rice in the nite. I always felt thats the cause of my bad belly. Fruits on a regular diet is something new to me, I need to force myself to get used to it.

i think I saw on discovery that its good to sleep on a protein meal - takes more time to digest and prevents waking up in the middle of the night due to sudden drops in blood glucose (which may happen after a pure carb diet)

You call that piddly?

[pranavt]

Maybe 60lbs in total, i.e. 30lbs on each side during a bench press

Weight training aids fat loss. For someone who is relatively new to weights, it is always a better idea to start off with circuit training, so that all the muscle groups are worked in every session. Circuit training can also have mild aerobic efects; much better for fat loss again!

If he does weights everyday, where will he find the energy for cardio, that he needs more at this point of time?

[hrag]

Working out alternate muscle groups on alternate days is better. With cardio on alternate days.

Edit: believe me sir, my method will also work to the same benefit. All depends on how you schedule the muscle groups. And no, I'm not talking about one muscle group once a week.

[vikram18]

I don't think so! That is simply TOO much time for "recovery" and that means you hit every muscle group just ONCE a week, instead of thrice, like he is doing right now.
It might work for someone who is into very heavy training and is training to complete failure and wants to GAIN!
