Re: question about circuit training

Circuit Training - How exactly do I do circuit training? Is this when I mix some cardio in with lifting weights? I've heard of it but want to make sure I do it right.
Ok, circuit training is where you lay out a few different exercises. For instance, Bench, Leg press, triceps, bicep curls, leg extensions, deadlifts, shrugs. Anyways, you just do a set of 8 reps of bench, when you are done, you walk over to the leg press machine, do a set of 8 reps, walk over to the barbell, do a set of curls, and so on. When you are done with your circuit, take a little break, but not more than 1 minute, and do it again.
Mon & Tues workout - Am I not suppose to have a day between to rest muscles? Or are you saying I should do upper body one day and the lower the next?
Yea, upper/lower split is a way to do it. You shouldn't be getting too sore though, because you're not going to failure or anything, just enough weight soi you can do ~15 reps.
Cardio - Since I have 30 lbs to lose, wouldn't it be good if I did a lot of cardio so I can burn up more fat while I'm in ketosis? Or maybe I could cut my evening cardio to 30 min instead of 45 min. Thanks for your advice!!

Oh, I didn't know that you have to lose 30 pounds, fairly quickly I guess? Well, if you want to cardio all the time that's ok I guess.
