Fitness Fridays Health Club: October Edition

[k9krazee]

I'm not sure if I've lost/gained anything...but I've been trying really hard!! I've been going to the gym everyday for an hour, and trying to eat as healthy as you possibly can with cafeteria food. And I've been doing really well with limiting the amount of desserts I eat, which is a biggie for me.

I have a question though. Whats the best thing to do at the gym for weight loss? My routine is usually run a half mile for warm up, stretch, get on one of the exercise running things for 20 minutes, spend some time on the leg weights and then run a mile..usually adding a lap every other day. Is this okay?

If you're doing weights & cardio, the best way to lose is to warm up for about 5 minutes (walk briskly - just enough to get your heart rate up) - lift and THEN do cardio.

Of course the only way you're going to lose is if you combine this routine with healthy eating.

Hi Christa - you can add another 9lbs to the PT weight loss total - I am down to 150 lbs now, so getting closer to my goal of 132!
