What I Want

1) Please describe your workout. What activities did you choose? What order did you do them in? How much weight? How many reps/sets?
       My workout was based on losing weight and getting more fit yet build some muscle and gain strength. The activities I chose for my workout was around 30 minutes of cardio where i got my heart rate up near 150 and higher for more than 5 minutes. After that in order I did the rowing machine for 5 minutes, leg press 3 sets with 30 reps each on 240 pounds, after I did calf raises 50 reps each leg with 2 sets,  after the calf raises I skipped for 2 minutes and did 4 sets. then i did bicep curls with 25 pounds 3 sets with 18 reps, and then later I went to do dumbelll press with light weight and high reps and later on i did tricep extensions and ended off with oblique crunches. I did lower weight with higher reps.

2) Why? This is the most important piece. I want to know what you are thinking when you decide what to do in you workout. What previous knowledge, or newly acquired information are you basing your choices on? Where else could you have researched some specifics or grabbed new ideas for your goal? Have you tried Youtube?
       The reason I do high reps with lower weigtht is because many people at the gym have that it is better when losing weight and trying to get more fit and it makes sense too, to gain strenth and muscle people do high weight lower reps so lower weight and higher reps would burn fat yet gain some muscle and strength. I add in cardio whenever I workout because it gets my heart rate up and is also a good warm up and it helps burn more calories than just only workout and then later on i go do weigths after 30 - 40 minutes of running and jogging. i have tried youtube and many channels and i also saw ideas og high reps and low weight with cardio involved and it has also been working great for me but I am going to try to
get my cardio to 1 hour for better results. I started with cardio to warm up then did legs because most of my testosterone is in my legs and when i workout legs it basically gets testosterone into my upper body which helps with strength and stamina.

3) Now that it's done, evaluate your workout? Did it go well? Was is tough enough? Easy enough? Was it fun? Did it do what you thought it was going to do? What didn't go well? Would you change anything now? What would you remove, add, adjust?
     
I'm sutre my workout went great because i was sweating and pushing myself the whole time which made it pretty tough but i also know that i can push myself even harder and make my workout more tougher for better results. It definitely did what i wanted it to do, i was tired sweating alot and sometimes i was out of breath and after my sets i could feel the soreness in my muscles that i just worked out. If i wer to add anything i would add more cardio to help me get more fit and lose those extra pounds.
