Starting Strength, Day 1

Yesterday was my first day of a modified Starting Strength program (http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Lifts).  My lifting routine is now broken down into two workouts (A and B), which I alternate every other day.  Days I don't lift I do 45-60 minutes of cardio, or rest.

Workout A

• Lifting - Four sets of 5 reps of:
• Squat (85 lbs today)
• Bench (55 lbs today)
• Deadlift (85 lbs today)
• Leg Press (140 lbs today)
•  Abs 
•  HIIT - 15 minutes of intervals on the spinning bike

 Workout B

• Lifts - 4 sets of 5 reps of:
• Squat
• Overhead Press
• Power Clean
• Abs
• HIIT - 15 minutes intervals on treadmill

My weekly schedule looks like:

• Week 1
• Monday - Workout A
• Tuesday - Cardio
• Wednesday - Workout B
• Thursday - Cardio
• Friday - Workout A
• Saturday - Rest
• Sunday - Cardio
• Week 2
• Monday - Workout B
• Tuesday - Cardio
• Wednesday - Workout A
• Thursday - Cardio
• Friday - Workout B
• Saturday - Rest
• Sunday - Cardio

Yesterday, workout A took a little over an hour and I burned about 430 calories.

Thanks to my new heart rate monitor watch, I discovered that I had been grossly overestimating the calories burned while weight lifting :O(!!!  Now that I trust the amount of calories burning, I'm hoping to see better results in the coming weeks.
