Advice needed

ajrblues Posts: 10 Joined: 2002/05/29	2002/06/12, 02:13 PM Last 2 weeks - 3 hydroxy cut - 30 mins later breakfast plus American whey drink. b4 lunch 3 h/cut. Early evening 20 minute dumbell/weight training followed by American Whey drink - then 4 mile run. They exercise part is probably 4/5 days a week. I'm concerned my sequence is incorrect. btw I've being doing the run for several months. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have not used the Hydroxycut personally. I think if you are using the recommended doses or under, you are OK there. Your workout seems a little abreviated (the weight part), but if you are trying to lose tons of weight, or stay VERY slim, you are on the right track. Do you only eat 3 meals a day? I can't see anything blatentely incorrect, just some things I would change a little. Eat more often, work out with weights a little longer, maybe reduce or eliminate the hydroxycut useage. But, in the absence of some more information on you this is all speculation. -------------- Ischjli "Seven days without exercise makes one weak."
