Need Good Workout Plan Tips

(N.C.)

I’m 41 years old, and although I look pretty good for my age, I’d like to lose about 10 pounds of fluff. I love getting your newsletters, and absolutely love your website. The information you provide is wonderful, but I think I might be a bit overwhelmed, and would like to build a good workout that I can start with on an intermediate level.

Currently I workout about 4 to 5 times a week. I am a morning person, and get my workout in at 5:30 am, and have about 90 minutes to work out. Two of the days I do a fully body conditioning class (core work, cardio, lunges, plyometrics, and these classes are done with medium weights).

The other three days vary between spinning, treadmill and bike cardio, and a cardio/strength training class. I would like to do something different on the days that I don’t take the classes, whether it be at the gym or at home.

To give you an idea of what equipment is available to me, at home I have access to a spinning bike, an elliptical, medicine ball, Reebok step, resistance bands, 5 and 8 pound weights, hula hoop, and I think that’s about it. At the gym I have access to pretty much everything.

Any help or advice you could provide would be great.


Thanks much,

Michelle B
