Hi

Got a long one here...

Yep another new guy.. Ive just started a training programme at our local gym, i need to know what you think of it. First of all im 81kg (178 lbs) and im 6ft1, i got a fat test done at the gym and im 22% so im a bit overwight, only around the stomach though. I basically just want to lose the weight, gain a 6 pack and put on what ever muscle i can at the same time. Im not that fit at the momment but im doing a vigourous training programme which consists of the following. I goto the gym everyday and do 30 mins cardio, 15 mins on the rower going quite hard (get 2.1 miles in 15 minutes) and then jump on the bike straight after for 15 minutes in which i get 3.4 miles, yep quite sweaty after all that. I then jump on the ab rack and do a decent workout.
3 times a week i do a weights programme which a personal trainer put together, do bench press, curls, shoulder press, pec deck, tricep ext, lateral pull etc.
Im taking multivitamins and a product called tyroxyn (http://www.kiwifitness.com/metaphysics_fat_loss_supplements.php) to help. My diet is adequate, i dont eat fast food, i eat fruit and vege everyday along with meat..

What do u think of my programme? any ideas on making it better, do u think i will acheive my goals of loosing this weight in 3 months and once the fat is gone what sort of abs would i be looking at considering im working them everyday? oh yeah i also plan to do a longer cardio session daily, just need to get fitter first, either drag the cycle and row out longer or add another machine to the mix (cross country ski thing..) What is the best cardio machine by the way? rower or treadmill, both just about kill me after 15 mins..
