Um Alittle bit about myself. Im 19 y/o
Im 5'8'' and weight about 165-170 LBS.
Ive only weight trained once before (for about 2 weeks with free weights).
I recently quit smoking and decided that Im tired of being flabby and soft. I want to diet, exercise, and lift... but I dont have too much experience with any of the three. I don't have a specific weight in mind, I just want to look good and keep improving my health and body.
Right now Im going to work on my diet.
For breakfast I usually have Special K with nonfat milk.
Lunch is usually a turkey or PB & J sandwich and I usually eat out (nasty fast food) for dinner. Im not too experienced with cooking but eggs are easy and I can make chicken breasts and rice and stuff.
Now for the part that involves working.
Exercise... that cardio stuff. I did it every other day during winter break to lose the freshman 15, but now I want to lose more. Basically this isnt that much of a problem, I usually hit the bike for 30 min when i went. That made me feel good.
Now for the lifting... Im lost on where to start. I cant afford a personal trainer, but I do have access to the school gym which is just as nice as a 24 hr fitness or a small work out room in the complex i live in which has machines I dont know how to work.
This is me. Thanks for your help.
