My trainer is out for a couple weeks, just when I want to kick it up! (She's having shoulder surgery- and never was able to actually SHOW me anything, seeing as she injured it just before I joined!)

Anyhow, I want to kick it up a bit now, got the clearance to do pretty much whatever I want. Right now I'm doing 10 minutes on the treadmill as a warmup, then I do upper body, then lower body on alternate days on the machines. (Is this what you call circuit training? See- my greenhorns are showing!) I do 3 sets of 12 or 15, and just started adding a bit more weight.

So- do I add more reps, more sets, more weight, or should I be doing more cardio? I need to add here that if I do too much walking, the bursitis in my hip acts up. (Yup, little old lady!). Haven't tried the recumbent bike yet, or the other gizmo that looks like a stair climber?

I've already achieved one goal- I can now make it from my car to my desk without puffing like an old warhorse. Now I want to firm up what is supposedly under this flab, and hopefully not look too much like a Shar Pei puppy when I hit goal. Whaddya think?
