So I'm trying to lose weight for my wedding on October . I currently have about 20 lbs. to lose by then. I'm 5'7 and currently weigh 177 lbs. I have a lot of natural muscle to my body and built very athleticly. I have muscular soccer legs but for some reason I keep ending up with shin splints whenever I run or do any cardio. I try to take a few days off in between to rest them, and I do exercises specifically to prevent shin splints, but I always get them. Problem I've had since high school.
Now to my question. I really want to get a lot more arm definition. Since my body seems to not like doing cardio a lot of cardio, If I did more weight training (specifically upperbody) workouts will I still end up getting the fat loss I want? I'm thinkng of doing a rotation like this..
Sunday- Pyramid upperbody
Monday- running and power yoga
Wednesday- muscle endurance
Thursday- Gym style back, shoulder, and biceps
Friday- OFF or yoga
Sat- Gym style chest and triceps and running
Is this not enough lower body? To be honest I HATE doing leg strength training lol. I just feel uncomfortable the whole time like I'm feeling the burn in places I shouldn't despite using perfect form, ect. But what do you think? I really would like to be at my goal weight by May (in time for my first dress fitting). Thanks for your help!!!
