I'm a little new to exercise, recently joined a gym, and did notice that I am becoming slightly fitter.
However, when I started, I was visiting the Gym 3-4 times a week, but now due to other commitments I've had to reduce it to only twice a week. My twice weekly workout is as follows:
20 minutes (4km) on treadmill at 11km/hr (with a slight gradiant)
20 minutes (3.2km) on elliptical trainer level 7 (on a scale from 1 to 20)!
followed by 10 minutes (around 2.2km) on the rowing machine. After 5 minutes I do 8 sets / 5 repeats: 35kg weights of biceps curler, leg extrensions, H/S Rower, and shoulder press.
Obviously will try to increase the weights over time. Later in the evening before bed I do 3 sets of press-ups: 50:25:25 My question is, may be silly to some, by only doing the above twice a week am I getting full benefit out of it? Or should I push myself to do an extra day? Just wondering if my body is going to go 'backwards' between workouts. Any tips on diet?
