    Male: Age 38

    Height: 5' 9"

    Weight: 11st 11

    Have been doing the following work out below for the past few months. Managed to shed about 1 stone since a very greedy christmas and some hard partying earlier in the summer. Managed to get the BMI down to a low of about 24.4 but still notice body fat is about 20%.
    Diet is relatively healthy- Muesli, boiled egg, smoothie and brown bread for breakfast every day. Healthy dinners with potatoes or brown rice mosts days. Rd meat twice a week at most.
    Had been doing pretty much the same routine for about a year but very intermittently. I noticed when I introduced rowing to the routine and stopped eating after 8pm - now try to have dinner at lunchtime and a sandwich about 5pm - that I started to get results.

    Average Session: 3 times / week

    Start with stretches and warm up with:
    10min bike Level 10 / Ave 100 RPM

    Ab Crunches (90 kg) between Cardio machines 40 reps

    Rowing: 5,000m - just got it down to about 20min at level 10.
    Can someone explain the damper levels? Seen on some website that higher level isn't necessarily the best. (Cals burnt about 320 - 330)

    Ab Crunches (90 kg) x 30reps

    Lat pull downs 40kg 3 x 10 reps

    Some free weights

    Running 10 mins at Level 2 incline at Level 12.5

    Ab Crunches (90 kg) 30reps

    Cross trainer 20 mins at Level 12 - normally get it up to 3000

    Some leg weight exercises


    Open to suggestions on improving or ammending
