Introduction

MadsTheMadDog is a Reddit user who has shared her progress from 110lbs to 125lbs after consistently working hard in the gym since the beginning of last year. The main focus of her training regimen has been resistance training for the lower body and regular cardio.

Resistance Training

To build muscle and tone her body, MadsTheMadDog hit the gym three times a week for weight training, focusing on legs on Monday and Friday, and upper body on Wednesday. Leg press exercises work wonders for MadsTheMadDog, as she has mentioned being proud of her defined quadriceps.

Cardio

In addition to resistance training, MadsTheMadDog also incorporated cardio into her regimen. She runs, boxes, or does high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Not Just About the Numbers

Although MadsTheMadDog's progress is visible in the 15lb weight gain, she also notes increased muscle tone and definition in her legs, arms, and shoulders. It's not just the number on the scale that counts; one's overall fitness level and how they feel is equally important.

Takeaways

Everyone's body is unique, and MadsTheMadDog found a training regimen that worked for her. It's essential to find what works best for you and your body. Whether it's resistance training, cardio, or a combination of both, sticking to a workout routine and making incremental changes can lead to improved health and overall fitness.
