 |
|
| I'm currently 6'1" and around 235lbs. I'd like to drop down to under 200lbs with less than 15% body fat by the time I'm 30. Right now I'm fairly satisfied with my muscle mass, but I've got all this nasty flab hanging off my chest and midsection. I have experience lifting weights from high school football, but don't currently own any equipment. It also get a lot of sinus and throat problems if I have to exercise in cool or cold outdoor air-- a big concern with winter coming up. Obviously, diet is the first thing I need to correct--my eating habits have been horrible for years. But after that, does anyone have any tips or advice for a solid, practical routine that'll help me shed those pounds and tone up? |

| The key to starting an exercise routine is to make the changes slowly. You can't go from being sedentary to active overnight and hope to succeed. Start out by exercising 1-2 times per week and eventually moving up to 3-5 times per week. Only increase the amount of exercise you do per week when you feel ready.Exercise routines also have to be well rounded to be successful. You need elements of flexibility, cardiovascular and strength training. You don't need to go to the gym to get a good workout, but having access to that type of equipment is a definite plus. Flexibility isn't very intensive and can be done on most if not all days of the week. It won't directly help you with your goals but it will lead to better performance - it will make exercising a lot easier.Cardio should be done 3-5 times per week while strength training should be done 2-3 times per week. The more weight you want to lose, the more you need to exercise. If this seems confusing, you can get a free personalized workout routine at http://shtrainer.com |
