Hi, I only just started getting back into training after about 6 years of a semi lethargic lifestyle.

I have been back into it for about 6 weeks and have noticed results, mainly in fat conversion at this stage. I have dropped around 7kg in this time. I mix up both weight training and cardio work.

My workout routine on a basic level is:

Day 1: Warmup on cross trainer for 20 minutes
Chest and back weights
Day 2: Cardio work for about an hour
Day 3: Cross tariner warmup
Shoulders and Biceps
Day 4: Cardio again
Day 5: Cross Trainer warm up
Triceps and Legs
Day 6: Rest
Day 7 Cardio again

I have made some decent gains so far but want to try and develop my routine better or fix up any issues that are seen. I think I need a protein supplement as looking at my average daily diet I am not getting very much protein.

Unfortunately in the next month my training schedule will be slightly more chaotic due to having to travel interstate for a wedding and similar things, as such I am unsure as to whether I should start a protein supplement routine or wait until my routine becomes stabilized again.

Any tips, advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and for reference I am 181cm Tall and currently 84kg.

shoulders and biceps? triceps and legs? first i dont see a back day. you really need to have a back day as well as a chest day. normally i wouldnt recommend a chest day due to the fact chest is worked on other days as well like shoulders..a better routine i think would be listed below

monday/chest, triceps, shoulders

bench press
incline bench press
military press
tricep dips

thursday/legs, back, biceps

squat
bent over rows
latpulldowns
barbell curls

cardio will be on whatever days you would want it to be. good luck with your training. let us know if you need anything else.

Try giving this into consideration :

Day1: Chest and Bicep + Calf
10-25 Minute Light/Moderate Cardio Before Workout
A bit of ab workout after session (e.g. 2 sets of upper, 2 sets of lower, 2 sets of oblique).

Day2: Cardio

Day3: Legs and Shoulders + Traps
10-15 Minute Light Cardio Before Workout
A bit of ab workout after session.

Day4: Cardio

Day5: Back and Triceps + Calf
10-25 Minute Light/Moderate Cardio Before Workout
A bit of abs after session.

Day6: Cardio

Day7: Rest

Repeet

Or, you could also do this:

Day 1: Chest,Tricep

Day 2: Back, Bicep

Day 3: Legs,Shoulders

just mix up the cardio before or after workouts or in between your workout days.
