New workout schedule problem

Yumi Posts: 34 Joined: 2005/03/27	2005/04/25, 12:33 AM I'm taking off two days a week, instead of working out everyday. 2 days of weight training and 3 days of circuit workout including 2 days with HIIT and 1 day of regular cardio. I break up cardio within the workout programs, but those 3 days, my cardio is about 30 to 40 min total. Is this enough cardio if I'm aiming for bf loss? Should I do light cardio after weight training too? I have problem with my weight training though. Upper body exercise and chin ups makes my extensor muscle very tight. If I use the lighter weights, I don't feel the targeted muscle is working hard. What can I do?

However your workouts aren't too strenuous so you wouldn't need as much recovery time. It really depends on your current fitness. Listen to your body and determine whether you would be tired without the 2 days off. As for your weight training problem, I don't know what you mean by 'tight'... If you mean tensing, then that should happen to your extensor muscles.
