Ok how is this?? *my workout*

[angel_mina]

Hey guys!! Im glad to say that i have lost 36lbs since i started atkins on new years day woot...and i began exorcising on the 10th of last month!!! I was 218 the day i began to work out and now im at 202!!!!

Well anyways....tell me if my workouts are good...or if i need to change anything.
I get most of my weight lifting from my boys through out the day...so i tend to kinda skip that at the gym (only once in a while) also I cant do any vigorous abb work due to having my muscles ripped after my second csection (which i will fix)...so my workout consists of 50-60min on eliptical (30 min the weight loss mode (5 resistance) and 20-25ish minutes on manual (level five resistance and 4 incline) and I tend to stay at 140+ strides a min...so i burn abut 600 callories in that workout.
Also I added about 25-30min bicycle (about 100 callores burned) so my total workout is about 700 callories burned...and I go 5-6 times a week ( there were a few days i dont go 2 days in a row)

but how does that sound? i usualy cant make it to the classes at my gym since i only get to work out at about 9pm or so after the boys sleep so that limits me to just what i have mentioned.....

any input would be great!!!

Sounds like your an exercise machine!! Lol I wish I had your determination! Thats great!
I don't really think you need to change anything (I know what its like to lift weights with the boys) But hey...you could do some leg lifts with one of your children on your feet (airplane games) my son used to love that (reverse crunch leg lifts) although Im sure you already do! I also had a c-section and know what thats like to try and firm up...NOT FUN! but it will come.
Good luck! Sounds like your doing great!

Human barbells go a loooooooooooooooong way!!! LOL I tried it the other day, only now my boy is almost 7 Lol Its a little harder now! I may have pulled a back muscle! haha
Anyways, I wish I had another little one to throw around like a monkey! Its so much fun! Sometimes for fun I will lift my boy up with my arms....I cant do too many reps (not like before) but its still alot of fun

Good luck

Angel, my own experience is this: If you are comfortably doing your cardio at that level, it is time to change up your cardio.

I tend to change things up every eight weeks with a different activity/machine and I change ny routine on the same machine a couple of times a week so I get at least one short high intensity workout, one long slower burn, and at least one with some intervals. The body does better when it has to keep guessing. I also switch from elliptical to stairs to treadmill from time to time. Give it a try.
