I met with the owner of the gym and he expained why I'm not losing more weight. He said that I should switch to more weight training, as muscles will burn calories for 24 hours, whereas you burn calories for about 30 minutes after cardio work-out. (who'd have thought)
So here is my new plan: Day 1: Lower body + 20 min cardio Day 2: Upper body + 20 min cardio Day 3 45-60 min cardio. (Me strong like bull!)
He kept using phrases like "You can just kill your abs" and "Lift until you can't move" "Three or more sets per machine" and "Failure is the goal".
(I figured out he meant muscle failure)
I walked out of the gym yesterday and though, "I don't like him anymore" as my thighs complained every step. But we'll see if it turns the scale around. I did go down in percentage of body fat at least, plus the four pounds the last two weeks. We'll see. Next appointment with Nutritionist is 1/31. We'll see if she's impressed or not.
PS I will not do the glute machine. You have to get on all fours on this platform and push your leg up and behind you. The machine, of course, is placed in the absolute center of the gym too. No my friends, I'm not there yet!!
