i've been working out 1-2/day 6 days a week for the past month (for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours each visit). i've lost 5% of my body fat so far..... i want to shave off as much of this flab in a month as possible (ship off to basic in a month).

So the two big questions are is 5% decent after a month? i just want to see how my current routine is compared to others.

and any particular excercises i can do to help shave off the fat (i already run about 2 miles each visit).

thanks in advance for any input.
 
5% sounds like a good amount of loss o me in one month.

How about a little more information from you? What exactly do you do each week in terms of training with weights and cardio?
 
allrite well i run 1/2 mile and usually get on the bike for about 15 mins for a warm up.

then i rotate between abs and the freeweights for a little bit.

then i usually go to curls, then squat, leg curls, bench, then i do the steps for about 10 mins to get my heart rate back up, then i work my back, triceps and end up either running or back on the steps for about 5-10 mins to cool down. and then run another 1/2 mile (gym is exactly 1/2 mile away from my house, how lucky is that)

thats usually 5-6 reps of 10 on all of that except for abs.

i was usually rotating between abs/chest/arms for the morning and legs and back for the afternoon, but i wanted to work out more, so yeah.
 
You should concentrate on bigger movements like deadlifts and the variables, squats and the variables, bench press and the variables. If you continually do isolation's on the little muscles you're whole body cannot grow. Why waste 10 minutes on the little ol' biceps when you can spend that 10 minutes on a movement that will hit the biceps without working them directly, increase overall muscle mass, increase your fat burning and make your body stronger faster and more efficient?

Try to do your cardio in an interval fashion. If you're running do 60 seconds of a nice ace jog then 30 seconds of sprinting. That's one set. 4-6 sets of this at full blow sprinting is a much more efficient way of burning fat than long monotonous cardio sessions.
