Yeah. I hate rest days or having to avoid an injured muscle. I busted up my left shin and dead lifting with the bar so close to my shin) was a complete bitch for a month.

Dont forget your Hammies, especially if you're a girl

worst is when you fuck up one quad playing sport so no squats/leg press/lunges/etc. thats a pain.

Honestly, eating alot of grilled chicken helped me lose weight. About 15 months ago I weighed 200. Now I weigh 180, with lean muscle. You just have to stay committed and do cardio. Cardio is key. It sped up my metabolism so much.

I thought I could get away doing biceps the other day with my injured tricep. I picked up the barbell with no weights. Tried one curl, put it down.... wasn't happening. Looking to cut to 165 by August, 175 now.

I'm fairly overweight and I'm looking for a regime that will get me into shape without excessive dieting.

I have my own home gym that has a treadmill, a bicycle, a standard weight set with a few different options and a bench. I usually do 12-14 minutes of jogging, then move to some incline fast paced walking, then once I'm tired from that I do shoulders, 3 reps of about 11-12 on a weight level that pushes me to the limit. I do a few leg lifts (or whatever they're called, about 3 reps of 10 - I have bad knees hopefully this will strengthen this). After that I do around 70-80 odd ab crunches. Am I doing a workout that will help me to shed some kilos? I have been slightly watching what I've been eating, and will probably be able to do a workout nearly everyday, if not every 2 days. Should I add anything in for fast weight loss? Perhaps do some more weights?

What's your weight? And how much do you eat per day?

[FluxCapacitor]

I'm 5'10, 150 pounds, more on the chubbier side with some puppy fat. Looking to lose the fat and tone up a little bit but in terms of the exercise, I'm not sure what order to do the things in. I'm not bothered about my weight as a number it's more my appearance, so if I stay the same weight but it's weight from muscle, that's no problem.

But yeah, the question; do I lose the fat with a lot of cardio and basic weight loss exercises AND then do the weights to bulk up, or vice versa? Or would it be best to do alternating workouts (monday = weight loss, tuesday = muscle gain, wednesday = weight loss etc.)? Obviously I'm going to be improving my diet, I've got that sorted and I know what I'm doing, it's the exercise I'm asking about.

Start lifting, while monitoring your diet.

Take it from me bud, I was overweight from the age of 8. No lie. Then by the time I was about 11 or 12 I just started to lose weight- a lot of it. How? Just dieting. I cut the shit out. I never lifted a finger (unless pressing the x button repeatedly on my PS2 counts) and I lost a ton of weight.

I still had some fat around my stomach and well shit, man boobs but by the time I was 15 I started exercising regularly and now I'm a skinny fuck.
