welcome to board tell

u should be carrying a good amount of muscle from being big.

high protein low carb diet and youll see some good results.

have you started lifting weights,if so whats the current routine like.

just by following a good diet,the results will come and will be well worth it.

firstly youll have to set up a diet that you must stick to consistenly.

secondly a good training routine.

do u no anything about carbs and protein?

welcome to the board tell

you've made the first step to changing the way you look, now you need to get to the gym and start lifting some iron!!

Now, where to start...... Just try looking up some bodybuilding sites and having a browse through them, try reading through the old posts in this forum, maybe buy some books on bodybuilding and exercises etc and anything you don't understand, don't be scared to ask however stupid your question seems, we've all been there sometime. you'll soon pick it up.

You also need to go to the gym (Duhhhh wouldn't have guessed) or a home gym would work, but I found I was easly distracted at home, and start lifting. Most gym instructors don't have much clue about bodybuilding, so your best off learning how to do the lifts (very important) getting a good routine.

Hope that helps a little

Hi Tell,

Bump to Steve and Benj.

Try the low carb/high protein diet - I do this to loose BF after the winter.

Also cardio based workouts will help immensly, aim for about 30-45mins a day of walking, jogging, cycling etc and stretch, stretch, stretch!!!

With the weights def. speak to your gym instructors (sorry Benj mate!) as IMO most of them have a good understanding of the better toning routines - I can't offer any advice on these as I tend to do heavy low rep stuff to try and put size on.

Being 5'10" you're quite tall so you may not need to loose much weight but 'tone up'

I hope it goes well for you, keep us posted mate.

Cheers,

LM.

Its alright LM must just be the gym instructers in my gym!

I had to have an induction so I told him I wanted to put on muscle, so he made me do a routine that trained my whole body with just machines, and said do it about 3 times a week! :?
