This is my proposed training schedule and I wanted to make sure that it was correct:
Following the FT Weight Training, 5 days a week
On off days the FT 12 Week Ab Program
In the evenings 3 days/week 30min Pilates Routine
In the evenings 1 "off" day 60min high impact aerobics

I read about overkill on aerobic activity, both sides of the coin. Is Pilates considered aerobic? I always viewed it as more toning and stretching. Please let me know you thoughts. Thanks

No resistance training? Are you training 7 days a week? I can't figure that out. Sorry councilor!;)

To clarify -
** Resistance Training 5 days a week in the MORNING
In the EVENING on 3 of those days I do Pilates
I take the remaining 2 EVENINGS off

** On 1 of the non-resistance MORNINGS I do aerobics (cardio)
I take that EVENING off, and the remaining MORNING/EVENING combination off.

Does that actually make it understandable? Or did I just muddy the water?


2 Days a week Ab Program in the morning

Still Muddy! ;)
Heres my advice: Do what ever you can, Just be sure you get at least 1 rest day, and don't do resistance on the same muscle within 24 hrs. Your muscles need the rest to recuperate.
Listen to your body.
Hope this helps, and good luck.

That was clear to me - you try saying on monday morning ______ Mon night ______ etc so he can see - but that sounds like what alot of the advice here is saying - just make sure you strech while training
