hello everyone I have recently started dieting/exercising again and looking for advice on a exercise plan for the gym. I am 27 298lbs my goal is 240lbs and toned. When I was 19 I lost a huge defecent of almost 100lbs, granted this was almost 10 years ago I’m just wanting to ge 50-60lbs off and feel better about myself. Just rejoined my gym today and looking for a workout plan/ideas for quick fat burn. I was thinking tredmill/elyptical/bike “pure cardio for the first month” all thoughts are appreciated
 
So long as you have Dr clearance you need to be lifting, do not do just cardio, going for a "quick fat burn" is counter productive for your goals.

What is your level of gym experience ? Do you have any injuries or health problems ? (blood pressure etc.) without more information about you it makes it harder to give specific advice.
 
I have a little bit of gym experience mainly with free weights, also have just been put on blood pressure meds as it is genetic in my family
 
Hi Brandon,
I think you should do two thngs every day.
1. When you wake up just take your clothes on and go run. Run around 30 minutes every day.
2. Reduce sugar.
After a few months i am sure that you feel better in your body. Just do it every day and visualize your perfect body.
If you want to go on fitness do it and i think you should to invest a bit in coach. One lesson with the most important exercises should help you.
I can send you photos if you can. I am running aroung 1 year and it changed me.
 
I have lost a significant amount of weight before, age 20 I weighed 170lbs or so. I’m just needing some advice on what to focus on at the gym, 2 days in and I have walked around 3.5 miles per day
 
Firstly, you will need to be doing the major compound lifts to get the most bang for your time in the gym in addition to your cardio, cardio should be HIIT not steady state if your meds have your blood pressure under control. Keep the lifting moderate to light with no overhead lifts if your meds have not stabilised your blood pressure, otherwise you want to be lifting heavy with low to moderate reps making sure to keep muscle balance in mind when choosing exercises to help avoid injuries. eg if you train Biceps then Triceps need to be trained to avoid elbow problems, abs need to be balanced with lower back. The exercise split will depend on how often you want to train but you should have at least 1 recovery day with no lifting.
