I started a personal fitness program at the local YMCA. I've been doing 20 min of cardio (effort level=hard as I can go without dying) on the elliptical using the "Cross Country" program or the stationary bike (hill program) plus weight training on the following 5 machines leg press, chest press, lat pulldown, abdominal, back extension.
I don't have the attention span to spend more than 20 min on cardio, it takes everything I have mentally to stay on track for 20 min.
The weight training is set up so you do 3 sets of 10 and I try to max my weight on each exercise. Yesterday I did:
Leg press 168 lbs (3 sets 10)
Chest press 60 lbs (3 sets 10)
Lat pulldown 72 lbs (1 set 10, 1 set 5) 60 lbs (2 sets 10)
Abdominals 120 lbs (3 sets 10)
Back extension 168 lbs (3 sets 10)
Yesterday was my 6th workout and I have gone from 137.6 pounds to 141.8. I was HOPING I would lose some of the fat that I had accumulated over the last year but it's not happening. What am I doing wrong?
