Hi Guys

I'm new to this forum & I was hoping you may be able to help me?

Im currntly trying to lose some fat & generally tone up, her are my credentials:

Age 31

6 ft Tall

187 lbs

Biceps 15 Inches

Chest 41 inches

I don't know if you needed to know all that but i thought it might help!

Anway I ned to lose some fat around my waist & Chest. I started training properly last week for about 1 1/2 hours 4 times a week & watching my diet carefully In that training I usually do 40 mins Cardio (Running, Bike & Rower) then I hit the weights along with sone sit ups. I Have been concentrating mainly on my chest as I really want toned pecs.

Do you have any advice for me? am I doing things right?

I have also been looking at some fat burning suppliments, Xenadrine EFX & the like (Dont want anything nasty), but I know nothing about them. Do they work? & which ones are the best?

Hope someone can help me!

Kind Regards
Adam

Hi Adam welcome mate, this place is addictive.

Looking at your workout mate it looks fine for what you want to do, strip the fat then hit the weights, eat the right things and you'll see your goals. It won't happen over night mate most people fail after a few months when they see nothing is happening, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Hi Guys
I have been a member of the gym for a while but not really taken it seriously, until about 2 weeks ago, I thought i would take control of my diet & do a minimum of about 4 x 1 1/2 Hour sessions a week..

My workout genrally consists of:

5 min warmup on the treadmill (can't run a lot as I broke my leg badly when I was a kid & I get an ache upmy shin when I run)

2 x 500m sprints on the rower

15 mins random on the bike( heart rate is usually 145-155 during this)

20-30 Sit ups

Weights;

Bench Press 3 reps of 20

Different bench press 3 reps of 20

Bicep curl 3 Reps of 10

Flys 3 reps of 20

Tricep pull down 3 reps of 10

Sit ups

Shoulder Press 3 reps of 10

& that's about it!

Any advice is welcome!

Cheers Guys.
