    workout routine question

    Quick info and question. 40 years old 6'3" bout 200 lbs. Have just started working out steady again after a few years off. Want to gain strength and some lean size. I don't care about huge size gains, more toning and looks (of course, my 3 year old daughter says i'm perfect). I have been doing an every other day split body routine-chest/bi's--legs/tri's--and, back/shoulders. Been steady for about 2 months and seeing some differences. I have limited to work out, need to be around 1 1/2 hours or less. I have debated on changing to a 3 times a week full body. Please give me some feedback. Thanks

    Toning is about losing body fat. You can get that right with a good diet and perhaps some cardio. The nutrition forum here gave me everything I needed and I've been losing about 1 lb per week steadily over the past months.

    Putting on strength and lean mass is about lifting heavy. In my opinion, at our age, we should focus more on the diet and do something like HST, which is about full-body workouts three times a week. If you do it right, you're out of the gym within 40 minutes. Give it a shot - you won't regret it.

    If you are seeing positive differences, why would you even be thinking about changing? Save the changes for when you plateau.
