Good Working

What is a good way to start working out?

I just got a membership at the gym. I want to know a good work out routine so I can lose weight. Any ideas?

I joined a gym 20 months ago. I was overweight. I had never been in a gym in my life, (I am 46).

I asked one the gym trainers which would be the best way for me to incorporate a routine in the hope to lose weight. He gave me a programme to follow, it was mainly cardio. I attended 4/5 times a week (and still do). This I know, helped to acelerate my weight loss and now helps to maintain it.

Firstly, incorporting speed work (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time). This would last of 30 minutes. Warming up for 4 minutes, then jogging at a slightly faster pace for 3 minutes, then running fast for 1 minute, then coming back down to jogging for 3 minutes, and walking for 1 minute to give you time for your heart to recover. Eventually repeating this cycle until the 30 minutes as elapsed. I also used the rower for 15 minutes and the cross trainer for 15 minutes.

The results were absolutely amazing. I lost 48lbs in just over 6 months. I dropped 4 dress sizes too.

I obviously changed my eating habits also. I kept all junk foods, ready made processed meals you buy in the supermarket, alcohol and takeaway meals to an absolute minimum. These are high in refined sugar and full of saturated fat. Junk food is just what it says - JUNK. With one added ingredient in - FAT.

Included more whole foods into my diet. Such as brown bread, brown rice, brown pasta, beans & pulses. These are high in fibre and will keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Eat lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, (including potatoes), making sure you keep all carborhydrates plain and simple, low fat dairy products, skimmed milk, non sugary cereals.

You have to keep in mind, that you will only shed pounds, if you burn more calories that you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn through exercise or life functions about 3.500 calories. So you will have combine exercise along with a healthy diet.

Good luck.
