Workout and Weight Loss?

[Tank89]

I'm gonna go straight out with it I'm a little over 6 feet weigh 260lbs and wanna loose weight and gain more muscle. I have access to a YMCA. I need any kind of help mostly from guys. On a workout and weight loss plan I wanna loose the fat and build more muscle so any help would be appreciated. And no this isn't for a girl its for myself.

first, figure out exactly HOW much you would want to weigh.

second, commit to a certain amount of time you will realistically give to exercise weekly.

once you know your weight goal, it is a lot easier to stay motivated and also know how much you need to eat. there are plenty of "weight loss calculators" online. I'd guess 2000 cals but I'm not a doc

fiber and water are HUGE in weight loss (and I'll spare the scientific reasons) drink 2-3 Liters a day of water and become a fan of bran.

cardio is good, but strength training is a little bit better. What I do is lifting Mon, Wed, Fri, and cardio tues and thurs. make sure you do high reps and low weights (say 10-15 reps, 3 sets) one great fat burner is take a barbell of weight that you can only press over your head 15 times, standing up, press over your head and then do a squat...15 times. Then do 15 lunges with the same barbell, then 15 bench presses with a heavier weight (your chest is stronger), then 15 dips (triceps are the majority of arms), then 15 curls. repeat all 3 times. as you get stronger, do it 4 times, then 5, and then add more weight when you get there. FINISH with 20 minute jog or bike (very important)

Tuesday and Thursday do 30-60 min of jogging or biking, do your abs these days as well (reverse crunches, the 'bicycle" and make sure you get your heartrate up.

Most importantly, eat 6 meals a day (small meals)

it works, I've lost 60lbs doing this and have sooooooooooo much more energy.

also, this is a great FREE website with tons of tips

start slow dude on the first week do 5-10 on push ups abs crunching and sit ups then continue doing it occassionally adding 2-3 of each if you can then add other excercise like sprinting and don't do anything stupid like overdoing it and dieting seriously why does everybody keep on doing that as if starving to death will be of any help

GOOD LUCK

Get someone to physically workout with you. Group mentality helps plus they can mentor you/push you.
