 Starting out, some questions
Hi all, new to the site etc etc
Right, that's the noob scenario dealt with.
I'm 31 years old and have been fairly inactive for most of my life. I've always been an ectomorph physique but in my mid twenties I developed a bit of a pot belly as my shape dictated I could get away with eating junk food and not have it show up on my body.
I now want to get rid of the belly but also gain some muscle. I'm not looking for become a full-on body builder, just that if I took my top off, I want people to be able to see I work out.
I've been going to a gym for about 5 weeks now and my session consists of 12 minutes on the treadmill and 25 on the cross-trainer in order get my fitness up and fight the fat.
Now I've added some resistance training, doing 2 sets of 10 (the last rep in the last set usually makes my muscle almost give out) and I'm going to see how this goes.
Can anyone comment on whether they think this sort of programme will aid my goal? The instructors at the gym don't seem able to speak 'human' - it's all full of "physiology this" and "cardiology that" so I'm hoping you guys will be able to give me advise in normal english....
TIA |
