What is your daily exercise regime?
Mine is daily but I try and take 1 day off to rest. It's usually Sunday unless I've missed a day during the week.
I alternate upper and lower body weights [eg. Mon/Wed/Fri - upper body. Tues/Thurs/Sat - lower body].
Daily I do 45 minutes of HIIT cycling and on the upper body days [and only 1x a week] I incorporate Tabatas - I'm only at 50% on that - working to complete an entire set. I only do that on the days when I'm not working my lower body because it's really tough on the legs.
My weight sets/reps are as follows for all my exercises:
Set 1 - 12 reps - rest 1 minute
Set 2 - 10 reps - rest 1 minute
Set 3 - 8 reps - rest 1 minute
Set 4 - 6 reps - rest 1 minute
Set 5 - 12 reps - no rest
Set 6 - 12 reps
The weight increases from set 1-4 and then decreases at set 5 & 6.
Example for bicep curls:
50lbs
60lbs
70lbs
80lbs
60lbs
60lbs
ETA: The entire workout [cardio and weights] takes me about 2 hours and I do weights first.
