Need refresher.......
I have been feeling a bit unmotivated on my workouts. I invite everyone to please help out as I am a bit tight to afford a personal trainer. I work out 3-4 times a week. This is my routine:
Mon- Cardio-30 min
Tues- Shoulders(4 free weight exercises, 15 rep., 3 sets) & Back (2 machines 15 reps, 3 sets)Cardio-25 min.
Wed- Cardio-35-40 m in
Thurs-Legs- 5 exercises, (15-20 reps, 3 sets)25 min cardio
Fri- 30 cardio, biceps & triceps (2 free weight& 1 machine) 20 reps, 3 sets
Sat-rest
Sun- Lunges, 3 sets w/ 10 lb. db, 3 sets 20
My main goal is to develop a good tone up, I solely belive this has everything to do with loss of body fat.
Thanks!

Correct. You suggest higher than 20 reps?

yup, 15-20 reps. in bodybuilding that's considered very high reps
you can use lower reps(10-15) for bigger body parts and compound movements, e.g back - BB row. in your case, always use high reps for legs.

I say you need to do some chest work. As well, you should probably be doing more for your back. The back is a series of many muscles; many of these muscles are very large. Try something like 10-12 sets.
Also, why so high on the reps? Try something in the range of 5-12. You can probably achieve some level of hypertrophy with more repititions, but the rep range that I suggested is much more proven.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

doing higher reps does not cause more body fat to be burned...that is a very old myth that needs to die

exercising with weights will reduce the amount of intramuscular fat that you have. cleaning up your diet and eating 5-6 times a day will help to reduce subcutaneous fat (fat under your skin)...I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
