    I was doing 50/50 weight lifting and cardio, 3–4 days a week for years, and was only breaking even. I recently started swimming a couple days a week, and started seeing almost immediate results.

    I usually run about 4 miles twice a week, or if the weather is bad I'll get on a stair climber at my gym.

    For weights, I spend one day a week doing my entire upper body, and another day doing my legs. I do abs on both of those days.

    For upper body I try to mix it up, but usually start with pull-ups, then some sort of chest workout, then shoulders, arms... but different things each time. I don't powerlift b/c I don't want to be huge.

    For legs, basically the same principles, with leg press, calf raises, hamstring curls, lunges...

    • Since I started swimming, I've had to cinch my belts by another notch... not that a 31" waist was bad to begin with.Scotch_Roman
    • That sounds douchy.Scotch_Roman
