Hello!
I’d love to get some advice from you lovely Reddit folk. TLDR at the bottom.
I’m 5’8, F with an athletic build wanting to get to 10st 3lbs (it’s my ‘ideal weight’ according to an online calculator & arbitrary but a goal weight I’d like to achieve for the challenge and aesthetic).
I started my weight loss journey at 13 st got down to 11 and now 11st 8 after enjoying too many mince pies at Xmas - no regrets.
My daily calorie intake is 1200 but around 1450 -1600 when I workout.
-
I’ve been CICO’ing (creating a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than I burn each day).
-
Have a somewhat high protein diet.
-
Gym 5 days a week usually doing the same routine which I enjoy. Can’t afford a trainer & don’t enjoy the free classes so chose some fat burning exercises that are challenging but I still enjoyable.
I’d like to get thoughts on how I can maximise my workout so it’s more time efficient. I’m spending 1.5 - 2 hrs in in the gym sometimes - not helped by the fact I may have the tiniest bladder in the world which means I need to pee whenever I drink even the smallest amount of water. I also have a sports drink but it doesn’t hydrate me as much but is good for energy.
Current workout routine:
5 -10 min warm up
30 minutes on the treadmill (doing a variation of the 12-3-30 challenge - 12 incline, pace 3.3 or higher for 30 mins)
30 mins abs - I store fat in my stomach and even with a low carb diet it’s still pudgy unless I intentionally exercise it (see pic). I’m usually knackered after this.
20 mins on the bike at 60-75 RPM.
5 min cooldown
- a minimum 4 pee breaks (feel a bit crass sharing these take abt 5 mins each inc. travel time + storing my stuff away safely whilst I’m away from whatever station I’m using.)
I won’t have the luxury of so much time when I’m back at work so how can I tighten it up?
TLDR: currently 11st 8lbs tryna get to 10st 3lbs and need some help creating a time efficient workout plan. It’s currently over 2hrs sometimes.
Thx 4 reading.
