I’ve been doing well on the diet and exercise but I can’t seem to trim down my belly fat. Does anyone have tips for this stubborn problem? I’m almost 46 years old and am 5′ 4″ and currently 138 lbs. I would like to lose about 5-6 lbs. Feeling frustrated.. 🙂
Hi Meagan,
I am doing both. I weight train 3 days a week and I do cardio 2-4 times a week; jogging up to 5 km or elliptical.
karlaPreston,
When you weight train, how intense is it? What exercises do you do? Are you doing this on your own or with a trainer? If you list what you do I can analyze it for you.Hi Meghan,
This is a new workout that I just started. I will do one routine every second day and strive to do cardio (jogging or elliptical) on the non weight days.
Workout A
1A.Dumbbell bench press (4 sets, 8 reps, 1min. rest)
1B.Kneeling supported neutral-grip dumbbell row (4 sets, 8-12 reps, 1min. rest)
2A.Incline dumbbell bench press( 3 sets, 5 reps, 0min. rest)
2B.Dumbbell squat (3 sets, 12 reps, 1min. restWorkout B
1A.Dumbbell split squat (4 sets, 8 reps, 1min. rest)
1B.Single-arm dumbbell shoulder press (4 sets, 12 reps, 1min. rest)
2A.Dumbbell straight-leg deadlift (3 sets, 10 reps, 0min. rest)
2B.Single-arm dumbbell swing (3 sets, 15-20 reps, 1min. rest)Workout C
1A Dumbbell stepup(4 sets, 8 reps, 1min. rest)
1B.Lying supported neutral-grip dumbbell row (4 sets, 12 reps, 1min. rest)
2A.Standing dumbbell curl (4 sets, 10 reps, 0min. rest)
2B.Lying dumbbell triceps extension (4 sets, 12 reps, 1min. restkarlaPreston,
That looks great! What you could do once your body has adjusted to the new work outs is decrease the rest periods in between sets. Are you doing this in a circuit or two exercises at a time?Yes, I’m doing this workout 2 exercises at a time (1A and 1B) then (2A and 2B).
Thanks Meagan; no rest time will certainly increase the heart rate and hopefully lead to greater fat loss. thank you
