Hey, all!
I need some advice regarding my current training and was hoping to get some feedback. For the last 3 or 4 months, I have been training with my husband. We do a three day split with heavy weights plus long bike rides, runs, intervals, etc. It's really helped me increase my strength overall. What I'd like to know is this...if I feel as if I need to work in another exercise for a body part that we DON'T do, can I do these exercises at home (on the sly) the day that we're planning to do work those body parts at the gym? For instance, I don't think we work my hamstrings or glutes to maximum...so can I do some step ups, etc. at home the day of our leg workout? Maybe this sounds weird, but guys just work out differently. Maybe better in some ways, but lacking in others. I'm always sore and I'm seeing muscle growth, but the shape of my butt in particular is starting to change for the worse. I'm also thinking about throwing in some more cardio. He remains very ripped with a few sessions a week. I, on the other hand, needed to do two sessions a day for about 3 months to lose my spare tire...it's starting to creep back.
What do you think? Any input is appreciated!
