Hi guys! So I'm pretty new to this fitness lark, and have built a workout program that I'd like you guys to have a look at. First; my goals. I'm a 5'6 lass, weighing in at 134 lbs, that would like to trim down the body fat, but predominately I want to be strong! And I mean scary strong, like a she-hulk, but not necessarily that look, if you know what I mean. So that in mind, here's my work out. Upper Body = Circuit x2 Crunches - 20 Leg raises - 20 Planks -30s Side-bends- 10 each side -5kgPushups - 3x10Rows - 3x10 -12.5kgY-raises - 3x10 - 1kg x2 Flies - 3x10 - 1kg x2 Lower Body = Circuit x2 Toe-touch -20 Leg raises - 20 Planks - 30s Russian twists - 20 - 5kg Squats - 3x10 - 15kgDeadlifts - 3x10 -15kgSide-lunges - 3x20 (alternate left/right) - 2.5kg x2 Goodmorning - 3x10 - 12.5kg Full = Circuit x2 Squats x10 - 12.5kg Pushups x10 BW Bicycles x20 Back ext x15 Bicep curls -10- 2.5kg x2 Tricep ext - 10 - 2.5kg x2 Hip raises - 20 Leg raises - 20 Planks - 30s I do this 4 days a week, combined with a 'clean' diet. Not exactly paleo, but if this would help, please feel free to enlighten me. I'm currently at 33% body fat, which I'd like to lower to the point that I'm in peek condition for strength. Breakfast - Porridge - 50g / Flaxseed - teaspoon / milk - 300ml Dinner - Tuna 1.5 tins / Romaine Lettuce - Half / Eggs - 2 / Quinoa - 50gTea - Chicken - 1 breast / Brocolli - 100g / sweet pot - 50gSnacks - Almonds - 25g / Apple - 1 / Yogurt - 1 So my values at the end of the day are; Calories - 1,402 / Protein - 134g / Carbs - 106g / Fat - 45g So am I doing anything a bit off? Exercise or diet wise? Any advice would be great! Cheers! - LaylaVi
