My weight workouts with a trainer are very intense. 10 minute warm-up (usually with eliptical machine) then 30 minutes of split routines which get changed every week and include core conditioning, then 20 minutes of low-level cardio which I change up from recumbant bike, eliptical machine, and treadmill running. My cardio is usually on my road bike on a training stand for 30 - 45 minutes. I do vary intensity on these rides...sometimes long steady and sometimes HIIT. Based on your recommendations I'm kicking up my clean fat a bit and my calories. I really do appreciate your response. I sometimes get in my head too much and can't figure out what is going on.
