[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3250817, member: 10465"] If weight loss is your goal, diet is key. It’s really not hard; just burn more calories than you take in. (Okay; I lied; so it’s hard but what the heck). High reps of major body group exercises like bench press, squats, deadlifts and lat pull downs; exercises that utilize a lot of muscle groups. 12-15 reps, and several sets. Work up to it; 3-4 times a week is good I think. Watch calories; soda blows it totally; water is your friend. Eat protein and salads; fresh veggies. No pogey bait! No donuts, ice cream and snickers bars. No junk food. Eat fresh. I use a FitBit so I can watch those calories burn off as I am working out; gives me motivation too. I try to burn like 750-1,000 calories each time. Keep a calendar; pick a day and weigh yourself in that day every week and give it 3 months. I promise if you’ve got fat to burn, and you pump iron this way, and eat right, you’ll lose weight. Don’t know where you’re working out but Planet Fitness is only 10 bucks a month and no contract. I just got back from the gym and I feel like a million bucks. Gonna shower and see if I can’t catch momma now! Exercise makes you stronger; healthier, and better lookin’ too. Weight lifting is great for weight loss, you get those muscles working and they keep burning calories even after your done. Remember; high reps for several sets abs burn more calories than you take in. I did 1,200 cal/day for 6 months and worked out like this and bam! Dropped 40 lbs of fat like it was nothing.
