Hi to all, I posted this question on Ask Cathe, but I know she must be quite busy with getting ICE completed and ready for us to enjoy. Can't wait. So I'm asking you fellow exercisers.
A combination of factors; a little bit of hypothyroidism following a thyroid cancer and age...I just turned 60, have resulted in a weight gain that I have a hard time to combat. After discussing with my doctor, a little increase in my Syntroid dosage should help, but of course I would like to compliment that with a sound exercise program and clean eating.
I am 5'5" with a good muscle mass and I am presently doing Phase 2 of STS (still 3 weeks to go). I will not be doing Phase 3, as the last time I did it I felt like Hulk!!! I prefer rotations as I don't question what's on them, I just do it. I have pretty much all your last releases (4 Day Split, STS, Low Impact system, X Train and soon ICE), along with many of your classics. My goal is to loose around 10 lbs, but of course keep the muscle mass.
My strength is really...strength training. I do cardio about 3/week, but my HR gets high quite easily and I get winded easily as well. That might be another goal, to increase my hearth capacity, but I know I should concentrate on one goal at the time.
Could you please suggest where I should concentrate and what kind of rotation I should do for the few months ahead? I thank you in advance for your suggestions.
