Targeted bodybuilding for muscle strength

by MS
(NB Canada)

I am looking to both lose weight and increase strength and endurance.

My routine is one of targeted strength exercises coupled with cardio.

I target four areas with different exercises:

For my upper body I do two sets each of dumbbell bench press, inverted rows, and arnold press.

For my arms, I do two sets each of rotating dumbbell curls and bench dips.

For my legs, I do sets of barbell squats and step lunges.

For my abs/core, I do situps and crunches.

I have also incorporated pushups for my upper body.

For my cardio routine I have been working on the treadmill by running.

I have been doing intervals of running and jogging, each day doing more running and less jogging/walking.

Generally I do my strength training one day and cardio the next, alternating throughout the week.

So far I have found that I am losing weight and increasing the amount of weight I can hold for each exercise.
