You can also log your workouts. Log a week's worth of meals and activities and let us know your findings. That will help us help you find areas to improve.

Also, if you don't have them in your program(and are able to do them), high-rep(i.e. 20 rep sets) weighted squats seem to bump up the metabolism. [Edited 11/2/2014 12:42:52 PM ]

dixie_dancer Kansas City, KS 29, joined Feb. 2013	When is the last time you tried doing weights before cardio? When you were more out of shape and in less habit of going to the gym perhaps? A good ten minute run/jog/walk should be sufficient for a warm up. Then go do your weights. Then come back to cardio. HOWEVER: I would rather see someone alternate lifting days and cardio days - 6 days working out a week. Helps your metabolism each day. And helps form good habits too. I also encourage you to alter your cardio - bicycle, yoga, running, elliptical. If you run - do some intervals alternating speeds or inclines. Same with walking. The more incline you add the more muscles you engage. Tell us more about what a normal workout is for you. How much weight. What lifts. How many reps. Cardio - what cardio routines do you do? If you are doing an hour of cardio and an hour of lifting weights - and you aren't totally DEAD the next day, you're wasting your time. You should be pretty taxed by 30-45 minutes of just weightlifting alone. Or that amount of time cardio. Time spent workout out does not equate to weight loss. Productively working out does. Awaiting more information, but I have a strong hunch I know where some of your problems may lie [Edited 11/2/2014 11:24:00 PM ]

dixie_dancer Kansas City, KS 29, joined Feb. 2013	how heavy of weights are you using your "cardio" really isn't CARDIO - the elliptical MIGHT be, but you're wasting time doing mediocre workouts. unfortunately, cardio IS getting your heart rate up, and maintaining that. basic walking isn't MUCH ... and a speed of three miles an hour isn't that daunting, even with an incline. you would be better off doing 30 minutes of jogging with a few minutes of sprint intervals. or taking a spinning class. but i REALLY want to know how heavy of weights your using, and how many reps and sets you do for each lift

Except for advanced lifters, 1 initial weights-exercise warm-up set or 2 for each bodypart should be enough warm-up. If by strain you mean soreness the next day, that's normal when you get stronger over time. It just means you did something your muscles weren't used to, i.e. heavier weight. As far as your 10 reps for 10 sets per exercise, that's fine occasionally but not as a regular set volume per exercise because the initial several sets are gonna be too easy. Standard is 3-4 sets per exercise. Like dixie said, post your routine in detail with the exact exercises you do on what days for how many sets and for how many reps per set. Nice run-on huh.

josecuervosilv Downey, CA 42, joined Jun. 2010	Hour-long cardio before weights is holding you back. It doesn't take an hour of cardio to warm-up for weights. In fact, it doesn't take any cardio to warm-up for weights. A light weight 1st set for each weights-exercise is enough warm-up for beginners. Do the cardio after weights. Here's one routine if you workout 3 days a week: Workout A: Upperbody Lat pulldown(back) Chest press Back row Overhead press(shoulders) Biceps curls Triceps press or extension Workout B: Lowerbody/Core Leg press or squat Hamstring curls Calf raise machine Back extension machine(core) Abs(core) Alternate workouts. For example: A on Mon., B on Wed., A on Fri., B on Mon., A on Wed., B on Fri. and so on. Standard is 3-4 sets per exercise, no need for 5 sets for you. You can do a half hr. of cardio after each workout. This is one routine. Others might have others.

dixie_dancer Kansas City, KS 29, joined Feb. 2013	have you logged your daily food intakes into a calorie/nutrient counting log? such as myfitnesspal as i suggested? i'm curious your caloric intake each day, as well as how your fat/carb/protein chart looks. Diet honestly is THE LARGEST portion of weight loss. I'm guessing something is amiss with yours. I do agree with the gentlemen who gave you the lifting ideas - the sets you currently did, are not near enough all-inclusive. you're doing ultimately ONE arm lift - but there are multiple muscles within your arms that are not getting worked. the same with your core, and your legs. this is why it's imperative you alternate days targeting alternating muscle groups, you SHOULD feel SOMETHING after each workout, or else you're not doing your muscles and body any good. i'm also a big proponent of free weights over the machine. especially as people age, balance is a key component to one's fitness that they can lose. Using free weights also utilizes other muscle groups while doing one movement, that otherwise is not utilized. For example, if you stand and do bicep curls, your balance is targeted, your core is more engaged, your back is engaged, your glutes and legs can also be engaged. while your goal isn't to TARGET those muscles, you're still engaging other muscles - this is the whole getting the MOST out of each workout concept i've been talking about this whole time. the same with doing a free weight squat or lunge, or a free weight bench press, etc.

A notepad helps to keep track. Every 2 weeks, go up 5-10 lbs. on your exercise poundages. Getting stronger helps with weight loss.

JuanToLoveYou2 Gastonia, NC 43, joined Oct. 2014	Take walks for cardio. Give up starches and sugars. Drink water throughout the day. It increases metabolism so when you eat you're hungrier faster. Take walks. 5 days a week. Start at 15 mins or one mile. Work up to 3 miles gradually by the 3rd month. No bread. Instead of candy bars or cereal eat a bowl of fruit or have a banana. Yes its carbs but less calories and tend to burn quicker. I walk 5 days a week average 4 miles a day and some days walk 6. Lost 20 lbs in 2 months. Added weights and squats and lost 10 more last month. Feeling pretty good. If I can do it you can too.

Thanks, i appreciate your opinion. It's normal to not lose any weight or gain a little at the beginning from gaining tone or gaining muscle. It's like preparation for future weight loss. It'll stop and go in reverse so that you'll start losing weight soon. By poundages I meant weights. It's important that you try to do more reps on the last set of each weights exercise than you did previously for that same exercise. It's also important that you increase 5-10 lbs on the weights exercises every 2 weeks so that it raises your metabolism.

It's great in theory. But there is never a warning attached of "work up to it by getting properly conditioned first". So people jump into it full bore and either get injured or burned out and give up. Before I have a client do anything high intensity (hill sprints, Prowler sled, battle ropes, burpees, circuit training, etc) I'll have them stick with basic full body strength training (squats,lunges, push-ups, pull-ups, etc) and endurance work. Example - Set a treadmill incline @ the max of 15%. Then set the speed for 3.0mph and walk WITHOUT HOLDING ON. Most people at first have a problem maintaining for 1-2 mins.

icecreamsammich Tucker, GA 66, joined May. 2014	Hello I was noticing you have determined your diet may be the culprit in slowing your progress. I would say to google BMI calculator and determine your BMI, which will guide you to a proper calorie intake. You can calculate your ammount to work off, and calories to reduce for your net daily calorie defect. Or how many calories your body will get from fat, potentially..... You don't mention a heart rate monitor. A heart rate monitor tells you if you are in the cardio range where you burn more glycogen and less fat, or lower intensity where you burn a higher percentage of fat and less sugar. It gets down to math and working the fat burning zone for a longer time. This is all on Google. I shoot for 1.5 lbs a week. A pound of fat has a fairly wide calorie burn off so it is a less exact thing. It can be 2800 to 3700 calories depending on water density but don't get hung up on that. Lots of fitness people argue about it. An average is 3500. So if you cut 500 calories off your BMI guide for maintaining, and do 500+ of exercise. You can potentially drop a pound a week if you work 4 days a week.
