In the recent past my training has been infrequent due to work and family stuff and I've starting accumulating a layer of fat around my waist and belly.
Nutrition - I tend to snack on chips/cookies etc but its not a daily occurrence. I'm trying to break up my meals into smaller portions and eat 5-6 meals a day but its not easy because of my work schedule. So far I manage 4 meals. Apart from Protein powder/Vitamins I don't use any other supplements like creatine. Apart from occasional snacking my regular meals are clean.
Training - at least 2-3 times a week but there have been periods where I haven't trained for 2 or more due to overseas travel or hectic schedule.
I bought myself a treadmill and try to get in a cardio workout for 30min at least 2-3 times a week + weight training. In the past I used to rely on the gym or jogging outdoors but with my work commitments piling up I thought the treadmill would helpful on days that I can't go to the gym. So far its working out well.
Weight training - I ve began increasing my reps to 12-15 with moderate weights. I plan on adding 20rep squats to my routine. Previously all my reps used to average around 6-10.with heavy weights.
I still have a decent V taper but now its marred by the damn love handles and by abs are now becoming obscured by fat layer. Hell even my butt seems to be getting bigger. I guess the days of having a fast metabolism are slowly waning away. I've read elsewhere that love handles are the toughest are to reduce
How about the rest of you working Joes? How do you cope with work/family cutting into your training time?
Suggestions?
