Hello, this is my first post on these forums, and i have a few simple questions related to my routine and diet.
Currently i do 40 minutes of walking a day, just for getting to work, and then every other day do some heavier exercise. On the Monday i would do about half an hour running, followed by a day of rest the next day, and then on the Wednesday do some body training in the house. I'm keen to avoid buying lots of equipment and signing up for the gym, because i like to feel private in my training, and don't want to get fleeced! So the body training i do is;
100 sit ups total
100 squats total
100 touching my toes
100 side stretches down to my knees
100 press ups
Also my diet i keep to is, to have a whole grain cereal every morning, and either a tuna or chicken salad with tomato and lettuce for lunch, and a basic ready meal for tea, looking for the foods with higher protein and avoiding anything with more than 25g of carb. Apart from that i drink water all day, and have just received a kg of whey protein, which i am taking every other day currently.
I just wondered if any members could answer any of these questions, bearing in mind my goal is to be a 30 - 32 inch waist [im 30 atm] and weigh 14 stone [body fat level 24.9].
1. I felt for a while now that some of my effort on training days is wasted, are there any thing i should be changing? anything i can do around the house that only involves every day household items, or none at all?
2. I'm relatively happy with my diet, but is there anything i should change? more variety? less microwave meals?
3. Finally with the whey i bought, whats the most effective 'whey' to introduce it to my regime? Should i be taking it it every day, or on running and training days? Or even just on training days?
I know there's quite a lot there, but like all beginners, i don't really know what im doing right and wrong, so wanted to make sure i was making the most out of my effort! Any help would be very greatly appreciated!!
