Work Out Status - Week 2 start

[old_sirius]

So far, it's been intense but definitely worth it.  My new work-out partner is definitely driven as he is trying to lower his weight 40 or 60 lbs.

Last week, we did Tue - Legs and Thurs - Legs.  On Wed, since I work from home, I did Chest at my home gym.  All three were one hour workouts

He insisted on a 10 cardio before a workout.

You should do your cardio after the weights. If you do it before, you are burning important "ready" energy you need to lift weights. If you do it after, most of that energy is already spent, so your body starts to attack the fat for energy instead.

that's actually a good thing for us right now. We want to reduce our fat content.
Besides, if I had to decide which to allocate "extra energy" to, I'd have to side with cardio, if for nothing else but to feel better during the day.

However, once our stamina increases, we will be switching sequences. I build rather quickly and he's determined to loose 40 more lbs.

Right now, I'm feeling major burn all through my shoulder blades... kinda gives me a stiffy... :)

Wait.... reread your post...

Ok, your way makes more sense... I'll see if I can convince him to switch.

We'll try it.
