GLUTE/LOWER BODY TRAINING

[ripitupbaby]

Should I do my cardio after a workout, or do I do cardio first....Or does it even matter? I trying to cut back and lose 30 pounds

Best to do is separate if you can.  I prefer cardio in the morning and then weight training later in the day.  If you can't do that, then it's best to do weight training first, then cardio.

Rip answered already .. so I'm just going to say Good Luck Jaime .. if you cut back on your carbs and if you like sweets cut them down ( out if you can  ) .. you'll get to where you want to be in no time .. drink lots of water and no eating late  !!

Don't get discouraged by anything and try to have some fun doing it

I can try and wake up early and do cardio.....I should wake up early i just love to sleep in until 7am....But i asked because someone at the gym told me i should do my cardio after i workout because I can lose weight better that way?  I never heard of that, so thank you I already have tried some of your workouts I am having fun.. I can feel my Dad's spirit around me more when I am in the gym   Mahalo Rip

I do need to stop eating white rice..I also watch kids at my house during the day so i tended to pick at food and not really have a meal, during the day. I know that isnt good..I stop drinking mt.dew that was hard for me but I did it. I dont eat to many sweets.  And I am having fun. Maybe I can post a picture of me 1 day when I look as good as the women on this board I would love to do a fitness contest...Do you think that those lose weight pills work? I was thinking about buying some and working out?

Stopping the Mt.Dew is great !! .. good for you

here's a link to the fat burner thread Rip has here .. I don't know if you can find that helpful to your inquiry on diet pills ( I hope so )

If all in one session, then warmup, weights, cardio.  Not for "weight loss" reasons, but you'll have more energy to move/lift more weight.

I'm going a little old school on this one, if you've never tried vertical leg presses you got to give these a try, but many gyms these days doesn't have these so using the smith machine is the best alternative.

I love doing vertical leg presses, I prefer to do more reps than weight, starting as high as 20 and no lower than 10 towards the end.

i tthought that this leg press the vertical was in museum . the 45 degree been in use since 1983 or so

If your gym doesn't have one then you can use the smith machine instead.

Yes you will draw some attention if you work out in a commercial gym.
