Confessions of a Gym Rat
I tend to be a compulsive overexerciser, so my New Year's resolution was actually to exercise less! I have been fairly successful at spending less time at the gym while still maintaining a strong and lean body. I would like to lose a little more body fat at this point, purely for aesthetic reasons. I do not have the fortune of the option of a voluptuous body. If I gain any weight I simply look dumpy, so I try to stay as thin as possible while still being healthy.
My weekly exercise plan is as follows:
weights (upper body with extra for rotator cuff) 3x/week
cardio 20-60 min 3x/week
Pilates mat class 1-2x/week
yoga 1-2x/week
I am debating whether to start training legs again. Pilates and yoga do a lot to strengthen and tone the legs, and I am hesitant to put in more time at the gym, given my history. On the other hand, I do feel that my legs are too thin and could use some bulking up. I have trained legs very hard in the past but have never gotten quite the look I wanted. I am definitely open to suggestions about my workout routine.
