Question to the board

Quick question...I recently lost 35-40 lbs over the last year and now i am trying progressively build a little muscle and become more tone. I seem to be doing well, my weekly workouts have been sparadic so I want to run this schedule by the board: Mon-Back/Calves Tues- Chest/Biceps Weds-Cardio Thurs-Legs/Calves Friday-Shoulders/Triceps Saturday-Cardio Sunday-OFF I have a hard time losing the belly fat but everything else is coming along nicely. Will this routine be beneficial and what should I do about toning up the midsection? What's a good diet?

As for your routine how about this: Mon: Chest,biceps. Tues: Abs,Cardio Wed: Back,triceps Thurs: Abs(sometimes),Cardio Fri: Legs(including calves), shoulders Sat & Sun: active rest This is the schedule I run. I wouldn't worry too much about your calves unless they're drastically out of proportion with the rest of your body. You can work calves twice a week, but for weight loss and toning I don't see it as being necessary. Also, a little bit of light to moderate cardio directly after lifting may help cut the fat as well. Nothing too drastic; 10-20 minutes.
