Is this workout routine ok for cardio AND building muscle? |
Is this a good workout routine for each week Monday-Friday?? MONDAY - 45-60 minutes weight lifting and 30 minutes stationary bike cycling TUESDAY - 30 minutes stationary bike cycling WEDNESDAY - 45-60 minutes weight lifting and 30 minutes stationary bike cycling THURSDAY - 30 minutes stationary bike cycling FRIDAY - 45-60 minutes weight lifting and 30 minutes stationary bike cycling SATURDAY - BREAK SUNDAY - BREAK That way, I can still burn calories and fat, but still build strength/muscle. Will doing so much cardio make my upper body muscles grow slower? Will the cardio affect my muscles repairing themselves? Generally,when attempting to build muscles, you don't want to have Cardio in your workout. The Cardio burns up those extra calories that muscle building needs (especally 30 mins of it). I guess the right answer depends on what your goal is. If you are doing this for health,the workout is fine. If you are going for body image don't do cardio until about 4-6 weeks into your program (6-8 weeks if time is not an issue). Take in alot of protein (~1g per lb of body weight). Calories, Calories Calories. Use heavy weight which you can only lift three times for 3 to 4 sets. On your last set, if you can lift the weight the third time,increase the weight by 5 to 10 lbs the next time you work out. You will need alot of rest between sets (1.5 to 2mins) Use the cardio in the later weeks to help begin the cutting up of your new and improved muscles and help you lean down. I hope this helps you. i did the same thing a few years ago and i put on twenty pounds of muscle in 8 weeks. It was alot of work and took some real will power to go to the gym. But if you get yourself into a routine and let nothing stray you from it for those two months you will not regret it. Also, very important is to keep a journal of your exercises, the weight used and the amount of reps per set you accomplished. Also, you can chart your weight increase as you will probably not be able to notice the improvements as well as others might. so a journal helps you to realize your improvement. sorry for the War and Peace, but the question didn't have enough info to make it a quick-short answer. |
