Burning Fat, Building Muscle - Monday, February 23, 2009 5:27 PM ( #1 )
I'm 20, 5'7, about 150lbs.  Very average body composition right now.  Too much fat.  

I have been running on the treadmill 3-4 miles 5 days a week.  which is about 30-40 min. 

Along with cardio...

Mon - Shoulders/Biceps
Tue- Legs
Wed - Chest/Triceps
Thur - Legs
Fri - Back 

The weight training is not super intense.  I will go to muscular failure but I'm not doing several different excersises. I will maybe do 3-4 different excersises and then finish with 15 min of abs. 

My goal is to really cut my body fat down and tighten things up.  Am I on the road to that? 

Also I don't eat bad, but I'm pretty much always hungry and never full since I started working out.

this is somewhat similar to my prev routine. it is run of the mill. takes time. but it will work.
just make sure u concentrate on a decent warmup and then do abs on alternate days or once in 2 days depending on ur recovery period. 
dont do it everyday. abs are also muscle groups. u want them to recover and grow.
DO Squats.
dont cheat on form or the diet.

PS : try mark rippetoe's workout. it s addictive and u get sure-shot results.

You need to make sure your diet is in check for leaning up, calories and actual food choices need to be sorted. Post your diet up, I'll have a scan, I'm sure others will too! I'd maybe cut down on that cardio a lil bit, maybe do 3 days cardio and a day weight routine -and find a routine that has you pushing yourself a little more!
