March, march take me there!

March is well underway and I am very happy with the current progress, in all areas.
 "Including the gold - even though I have not mentioned it very much."
However, this just means that I am ready to step it up further - to do more.


I have been thinking about this for some time, because more workout = more muscles. This, in turn, may make the weight loss effect seem diminished due to muscles weighing more than fat.
But in the end, I think it is an overall good idea to increase the work-out slightly.

So here is what I think, for now:

                     Cross Trainer      
Time (Minutes):      20 -> 20
Strides per minute:     170 -> 180
Calories:                     240 -> 250

                     Shoulders
Weight (kg): 40 -> 45
Repetitions: 3 x 10 -> 3x10

                     Chest Press
Weight (kg): 60 -> 70
Repetitions: 3 x 10 -> 3x10

                     Butterfly
Weight (kg): 40 -> 45
Repetitions: 3 x 10 -> 3x10

                      Back
Weight (kg): 55 -> 60
Repetitions: 3 x 10 -> 3x10

                      Lats
Weight (kg): 75 -> 80
Repetitions: 3 x 10 -> 3x10

                      HIIT 
Time (Minutes):      10 -> 10 
Intervals:            5 -> 5
Strides per minute:     170 -> 180
Calories:                     110 -> 120

 
It is a basic weight increase, for now. I say "for now" because thinking about it got me interested in the difference between increasing weight and increasing reps.
More research will be conducted and I will keep you updated!
