    3-Are you overtraining?
    4-How often are you changing your workout routine?

    Answer those questions honestly. Once you have adjusted the areas you need to lets talk about the HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). Most people have this long drawn out cardio workout. Yes, there are those who need low-no impact routines b/c of physical impairments, but even those people will need to increase their intensity or length of workout to seeing continuing results. Ever notice joggers that run everyday but are still overweight? I have never been a firm believer in 2 hour speedwalking sessions. I would apply that method only if you are seriously out of shape, and that would only be for a short period of time. Mp50, let's say that you have your diet and workout down, but those last few pounds won't melt away around your abs? As I mentioned in my other post, I have been a Muscle Media fan since the get go, but one article they presented years ago caught my attention. Here it is
    I'm sure most of you have heard of this, but some of you may not be aware of it at all. This routine is not for a novice, but the short INTENSE workouts maybe just what you need to break the plateau. The first time I tried the routine I almost passed out, but over time the results showed. Ever notice the physique of a world class sprinter? Most of their workouts consist of short INTENSE sessions, and those mofos are RIPPED!. Those interested, give it a try and post your results. Goodluck!
    1. I honestly havent been keeping track...
    2. 5-8 hours a night enough?
    3. Depends on your meaning of "overtraining" Sometimes I hit the gym 5 days in a row... Sometimes only twice a week... Yea... I need a better routine...
    4. My "routine" is usually... Hit every machine 2-3 times doing 5-8 reps on the most weight I can handle every time I go... Plus a 10-20 minute intense bike ride...

    That HIIT system seems like a great idea... I'll give it a try and keep ya updated. Thanks alot man.
