Workout Program Description

This is the workout I have used to help me lose 100 pounds. It's a 6-day workout alternating weight lifting with interval training. Mon, Wed, and Fri workouts should take no more than an hour, and Tues, Thurs, and Sat training should take no more than 15 - 20 minutes.

I have added weight, but they should be adjusted for each person.

This workout is based off of the mens health online personal trainer. You should occasionaly switch out an exercise for another one in the same ...

Workouts

Description

This workout focuses on your legs and back. The legs have the largest muscles in the body, so doing 4 sets helps burn calories throughout the day. The larger the muscle, the longer the calorie burn.

nice balance

I used a very similar program like this before and achieved very fast results. I like the splits on this one better, as it allows a bit more variety.

No, the titles aren't correct

"Back" and "Biceps" are just switched; Monday is legs + biceps, Wednesday is chest + back. As for how effective it is - quite good, based on my results from a similar program. Surprised there's no abs work, though; I consider that a "must", along with stretching.

how is it

i'm just about to start this workout and was wondering if everyone who used it was satisfied with it, and how long they stuck with it before switching it up?

wristband rest-timer

HI, I am a manufacturer and we produce a unique product that applies to interval training. Our product is rest-timer built into a sweatband. It is preprogrammed for 30 second intervals. It has only one large button,auto reset, and a 3-4 second alert. Please take a look at our site. We are reallly looking for some distributors or resellers that understand this type of trainiing.. Please hit me back if you would like more info on wholesale prices. http://www.rest-timer.com Best regards,

how do you edit a workout?

do you guys know how to edit a program or import it into one's own other than adding one by one?

Jeez

I started this program because I was neglecting my legs. I'm going to regret doing the full thing even at reduced weights. This is going to be great. Excuse me while I crawl to the Advils.

Are the titles correct?

Monday says Legs and Back, but there aren't any back specific workouts. If it is meant to be Legs and Arms, why are there only 2 arm workouts?
