Im 6'1, 27 years old, of medium build with not really much fat except a average amount around my torso. if you looked at me you wouldnt think i was that tones, just average i suppose, but listen to this routine, i do 40 min straight running on a treadmill, 30 mins on a bike, and 20 mins on a rower. by the end of it im saturated w sweat, gasping for breath\, and i feel like ive really had a good workout, i do this 3 times a week for at least 2 months, but nothing has changed, shouldnt i have seen a result by now? like toning a fair bit, i still look like day one, and my diet is good as well, how much harder do i need to go? if i do an hour on a tread mill, people will start to say things!!, also, what do u think of people sweating profusly at the gym? thanks for your commentstoast in the morning, sandwich for lunch, pasta or rice for dinner, i generally eat after going to the gym, i dont have much sugar, ever

what exactly are you eating...no guessing and in what quantities and hours of the day.

What kind of results are you looking for? Are you trying to trim down to a six-pack? Or were you hoping to build some upper body muscles from all this cardio?Your level of activity is good, but to get a six-pack you have to diet. You don't mention what protein sources you're getting, but you probably need more. Cardio is catabolic and can decrease your lean mass.Why not integrate strength training into your routine? If your body fat isn't that high, then 1.5 hours of cardio is overkill. Get on a good weightlifting program and maybe do 30 minutes of cardio after your lifting. On your non-lifting days, try to limit yourself to an hour. Then work on getting more protein in your diet and try spreading your calories over 4-6 meals instead of three.

You say pasta sandwiches toast rice. Is this whole grain bread and wheat pasta. Or white bread, white rice, and pasta with enriched flour. Diet doesn't seem to be complete and balanced. No sugar is great. But these simple carbs will be holding you back. Also what about a weightlifting routine? If you have more muscle mass it will speed up your metabolism. Come by www.caged animal.net. Ask the same questions there and myself and everyone else will set you up. It changed my life, I didn't see these results I am getting until I got the right answers.
