I know, I never posted my workouts on my last blog. It's been pretty hectic with my wife going to boot camps at night, so only had time to actually do the workout. After that, it was upstairs to watch the kids.
Feeling OK with my size, I've decided to focus on burning the remaining vestiges of my gut. To tackle that, I went back to what has worked for me in the past, the stepper. Luckily for me, no one at my gym seems to like the stepper. Out of all the cardio machines they have, there are only two steppers. One was broke until this week, and the other was always free. Now they are both always free (smiley face)
So far, I've dropped another 5lbs, and I haven't noticed any loss in strength or size. (although I haven't officially taken any measurements) Last week, we went to Vegas for a conference, which through a wrench into my lifting and cardio schedule. They had a great mirror in the hotel though. Was looking pretty desent. Apparently, my wife and mom think its weird to take pictures of yourself with your shirt off in front of the hotel mirror. Whateves (as my son says).
Well, I'm back on track now. I've hit the stepper every day except Monday (slept in), and I lifted Monday night. It's Wednesday, so I'll be lifting again. My lifting routine is only going to be three exercises to hit the whole body. The goal is to maintain size and strength while I finish off the fat burning.
Without further ado, here is my lifting routing plus stepper as many mornings as I can for 30 mins.
