So I started working out regularly (strenght + cardio). The weight lifting (about 3-4 times per week every other day, for thirty minutes per session) is starting to show slight results (it’s been about a month and one week since i started). My muscles, especially those in my legs, are noticeably more toned up. BUT i have not lost any significant amount of fat. Now i feel bulkier than before.
I do about 30 mins of cardio 6 days a week, too, and on the days of my weight training. I warm up, do the weights, and then do the cardio *after the weights. I eat 5 or 6 small meals per day. Im not eating any different than before i started, i think, except for adding more protein and cutting back on unhealthy foods. So im really at a loss about how long before i can expect to see some of the fat disappear. I’d like to lose ten or 15 pounds–eventually. Im a 25 year old woman, 5′5, 142 pounds.
My question(s): from this description, is there any glaring errors in my workout routine? Is a 30 to 60 minute workout 6 days per week (as strength + cardio) enough? Am i too soon into my workout to see any huge changes? I think i still eat more calories than i burn, so maybe that is a factor here, but i’d like to know if anything else is going on. Any help or suggestions are welcome, please!
