so confused

spohn.r Posts: 4 Joined: 2008/03/31	2008/10/26, 01:17 PM why does free trainers have you split all your body parts on different days instead of offering full body workouts? i am a 26 year old woman needing to lose 15 pounds of baby weight..i have been hearing conflicting advice. some people tel me it is better to do 2 full body workouts instead of splitting parts like my program says. for example, freetrainers only has me working my legs once a week. is this really enough to even see a difference?? thanks

Read this article by Alwyn Cosgrove for clarification on fat loss: http://www.alwyncosgrove.com/hierarchy-of-fat-loss.html

A total bodt routine can be a great way to begin and is how i start most beginners, but eventualy you split out body parts so you can get deeper into the muscles and create more change. That said, Alwyn Cosgrove is THE man...his routines are great and I used them in our last fat loss challenge, in which people got great results. If you want to follow the routines the participants did look up WSSC challenge and find the most recent thread for workouts. -------------- A man of sense is never discouraged by difficulties; he redoubles his industry and his diligence, he perseveres and infallibly prevails at last.
