Ok so I really need some help here. I'm currently doing these exercises every day. I only started three days ago and my muscles are pretty sore but I don't care as long as they are going to work. I stretch out before and after each workout. I'm eating really healthy now (5 small meals a day), have upped my protein intake (chicken, fish, egg whites etc), lowered my fat intake and have cut all junk food, refined sugar and alcohol from my diet. I also only drink water or herbal teas such as decaffeinated green tea, peppermint or camomile. I'm not sure there is any way I can eat more healthy. What I would like to know now is whether doing these exercises daily will help me lose fat and tone up or simply cause me to build muscle under fat. I want to lose a dress size and generally get healthy - I do not want to bulk up and am worried I may doing these exercises daily either that or just end up bigger because I have gained muscle under existing fat. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Most of the exercises are performed with a weight of between 2 and a 1/2 to 5lbs. I work out and do all of these exercises in the morning. If any of the exercises need explaining let me know and I will do my best to explain. Do I need to do any cardio or is cardio involved in these exercise? I'm pretty clueless right now.
The Exercises:
Pile squats, Shadow boxing (set of thirty differing punches with a weight in each hand, squatting at intervals), Incline dumbbell on a stability ball, Bench dips, Wide dumbbell rows on a stability ball, Reverse lunge with torso twist, Good mornings with rotation, Handoff, Trunk crunches, Double crunch with ball, Forward and reverse crossover lunges with bicep curl, Squat jumps with medicine ball, Sumo lunge with sidekick and frog jump, Platypus walk with medicine ball.
I also don't want to end up looking like muscle woman either. I just want to lose my belly fat, tone my arms and legs, get leaner, healthier and lose about a stone of weight (fat).
Any advice, information or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
This work out already takes around an hour and a half to two hours every day and I'm very busy with a job and home life so I can't fit a heap more working out in but if anyone has ideas I am willing to try anything and try to reschedule things to fit more exercise in if needed.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
