Losing weight from cardio first and them bulk up?

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

Here was my problem... I needed to loose weight and I'm talking about 70 poounds. I did not lift weights I walked about 15 miles a day and ate vegies and fruits. So here I am 70 pounds lighter but now I need to weight lift and then get into high impact work outs that won't hurt me.

Woah dude, 70 pounds, that's crazy! Props to you for sticking with it, losing that much weight can't have been easy. 15 miles a day, are you kidding? That's some serious cardio. I'm surprised you didn't die of boredom! Now that you've dropped the weight, I'd say lifting is the next logical step. Start small though - don't want to pull anything. Maybe try the machines first to get your form down before moving to free weights. And go slow - you don't want to bulk up too fast and put the weight back on. As for high impact stuff, yeah, maybe ease into that slowly once you've built up some muscle. Better to be safe than sorry. Just listen to your body and don't overdo it. Sounds like you've already come a long way - just keep it up dude!

Why didn’t you just skip the cardio and start lifting the weights?
