Well, I've lost 50 lbs since January 31st. I'm happy about that. However, I've hit a plateau and the weight loss has really slowed down. I just went from 330lbs to 280 and would love to lose 60-70 more.
I've been reading up on HIIT and think it may be the thing to kick start my weight loss again. Remembering that my primary goal is weight loss, should I do a 20-minute HIIT program after weight training, or should I only do HIIT on the days when I'm NOT weight training? Here's the plan I'm thinking about right now. Let me know what you think.
Monday
- 10-minute warmup on treadmill (5 minute brisk walk, 5 minute light jog)
- Weight Training (Back/Calves)
- 20-minute HIIT session
Tuesday
- 10-minute warmup on treadmill (5 minute brisk walk, 5 minute light jog)
- Weight Training (Chest/Biceps/Abs)
- 30-minute cardio session (medium level -- not HIIT)
Wednesday
- 20-minute HIIT session
Thursday
- 10-minute warmup on treadmill (5 minute brisk walk, 5 minute light jog)
- Weight Training (Legs/Calves)
- 30-minute cardio session (medium level -- not HIIT)
Friday
- 10-minute warmup on treadmill (5 minute brisk walk, 5 minute light jog)
- Weight Training (Shoulders/Triceps/Abs)
- 20-minute HIIT session
Saturday
- 1 hour of medium level cardio (not HIIT)
Sunday
- REST, or if I feel like it (and sometimes I do), a kick-my-butt spinning class OR 20 minutes of HIIT. I know I should have a day of rest, but I find it difficult to resist temptation (burgers, fries, lasagna, etc.) if I don't do any exercise.
Any input would be appreciated.
