I am really enjoying lifting moderate to heavy these days...especially leg day, but I feel that my routine is getting...well, routine! I plan on training WSB style with bignate as soon as he's recovered and back in the gym, but until then, I'd like to mix it up a bit.
My dad, who has been lifting and training a number of high school athletes for years, tells me that I do too much cardio and should do a circuit and cut down on the cardio.
I usually do my weight training first, then 30 (sometimes 45+) minutes of cardio or the 1-hour kickboxing class (which I love!) 5-6 times a week. Since I have a love for food, I don't think the cardio is excessive but my dad said that if I do a circuit, my heart rate will stay up and that can act as my cardio too. I have a heart rate monitor so I can keep tabs on it if needed.
Do ya'll have any opinions on circuits? What about putting one or two in a week in addition to my current routine?
P.S. My goals are:
1/ reduce bf %
2/ get stronger
3/ look better naked
