Hello again!
First I want to thank Steve for the awesome post in my previous starter thread, good advice and help!
I have a couple questions that I couldn't find specific answers to in other threads, so I decided to make one. I'm currently around 250lbs at 5'10 height. I took the advice and now I am eating nothing but healthy foods such as fruit, only water, chicken breast ect.
I started a small routine every day consisting of running+stretching, heavy bag, and weight resistance training, coming in around 30-40 mins per day. My calorie intake is around the 2000 mark I believe perhaps a TAD less, I'm not a fanatic calorie counter, but I know what I eat.
My question is compound. First, is 30-40 mins even enough? I'm pretty achy, and I started Monday. I do not want to go overboard as I tend to do and hurt myself, is there any general rule of how this goes? Also, are there specific exercises I should work into my routine to support my cause?
EDIT: Also! I have a lot of left over whey protein from when I last used it, it says right on the front to not take if wanting to lose weight. Would I get any benefit from taking a small amount each day as I work through my routine? Or will it be counter-intuitive, thanks!
I appreciate anyone's time to answer these! Thank you!
