Ok, so I have decided to get off my a** and start going back to the gym and lose weight. I am trying to find some helpful tips on workout routines and other weight loss advice. Starting today after work I will go to the gym and try and break a sweat. However, I have a little understanding on the best approaches to weight loss. I know that you should start working out about 5 min after you wake up every morning rather then after work in the evening. So, tomorrow... I will try and start that routine. I know that eating better is a big contributer but I think working out will give me that motivation to eat better.
I don't know if this info is necessary for a workout routine but here it is;
I am 25 yrs old
I currently weigh 235lbs - my gaol is to weigh 180 or 175.
I am 5'8"
with that info what do you propose would be the best workout routine for me? I need days per week - hours per day - and what stretches/cardio/free weights I should do with each day. I prefer free weights over machines but if machines are better for you then I would like to know. I know that resistance weight is the best but I don't have that available.
any help would be awesome.
