Three Week Cutting Guide - Week 1

This is the first post in a three week guide to cutting down your body fat. Comprising of three strength days and 3 cardio days along with one rest day, this should put you in good standing for cutting down some of that body fat in the gym. Always remember that regardless of how much time you put in at the gym, it won't make any difference if your diet isn't under control along with it. I'll be providing a sample meal guide in the coming weeks on the blog. So keep your eyes peeled.

Let's get started.

The routine goes as follows -

Week 1 - Upper Body day
              Cardio
              Lower Body day
              Cardio
              Upper Body day
              Cardio
              Rest

The cardio should be a mix of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) on cardio days. For example on Cardio day 1 you could do 20 minutes of HIIT on the treadmill. On Cardio day 2 you could do 20 minutes HIIT on a Rowing machine.

The weights used should be challenging to reach the first 12 reps. Weights should remain the same throughout the routine.
