losing the weight . now i want to hit the gym. workout routines? help?

First of all, nice work on the weight loss so far! You obviously have made the necessary adjustments in your diet so the next step is the gym. I have had great results from the H I T workout. Google it and you will get plenty of info on it. There are also lots of books written on it, which is where I found out about it. It basically is an intense workout where you concentrate on each lift, making slow and precise lifts. The HIT routine also helps you from over training which in turn helps you get huge gains. As far as having uneven strength in your arms, don’t worry about it. Just train normal, and they will adjust. Actually in the HIT book I read, it talks about that. Like I said, it looks like you already have the diet part of this down, but just in case you don’t already know, losing weight is easy if you know what your doing. Burn more calories than you take in and you will lose weight. Eat small portion meals every 4 hours, and this will keep your body from thinking it needs to store fat. When you starve yourself, your body goes into survival mode, and starts to store fat almost like a defense mechanism. Eat lean proteins, complex carbs, and keep the simple carbs and sugars to a minimum. Hope this helps, congrats and good luck!

Hi there,

I think you might be getting a little mixed up with what you want exactly. You say that you want to lose “weight” but that means you might want to get rid of some muscle too. You then say that you’d like to “shape” (I’d call it tone) your body a little which implies you want to build some muscle. I’m not trying to pick at your question – I just want to clarify the point for you.

To answer it in the best way, I am going to look at it as if you want to get rid of fat AND build muscle at the same time. If you’re looking to “trim” and “tone” your body, and espectially because you suggest you are not that overweight, I would suggest you start performing more intensive aerobic exercises such as jogging. I wouldn’t think you need to change the whole way you eat or go on a diet because if you’re wanting to build muscles – it’s better to do it all with exercise.

Exercises like jogging won’t exactly “build” your muscles on your stomach but they will help reduce the extra fat around there. Depending on how fit you are, you should go on daily or bi-daily jogs of around a mile. To build muscles, you should concentrate on anaerobic exercises such as sit-ups to help build muscles.

These muscle-building exercises will give your muscles the toning and training they need to grow and become more prominent. To start to see a real difference with sit-ups, you should be looking to do no more than 100 every day (more than that will often hurt your muscles).

If you stick to doing those two forms of exercise – jogging and sit-ups, you should see real improvements in a week or two. Remember, you should do them as often as you can (I.E every single day).
