Hello,
First I want to say hello, as this is my first post.
Ok, from the beginning. First off I am a Martial Arts Instructor. Been doing the Arts for a littleover 33 years, and am 53 years old.
A little over a year and a half ago, I became very ill with a ruptured intestine, surgery was needed and 50 staples later I come out of it. Almost died as the infection was extreme.
The meds they put me on made me gain weight fast, and within 4 months I was up to 315 lbs, and I am 6' 1" tall. I teach part-time at a fitness center near me, and have done alot of cardio to bring my weight down to 250, but I am not in shape anymore, as this bout of illness kicked my butt big time.
I still have my bad days, but I live with it. Ok moving on, sorry for long intro, but needed everyone to know where I have been.
Now I have never touched weights in my life, and working at that fitness center peaked my interest, as I have played with the leg machines and such just to get a burn.
What I am looking for "IF" possible, is a weightlifting routine that I can put some "size" back on my limbs and loose the fat all in one. Don't know if such I thing exsist, but that is what I am here for, to hear from the experts. I know I will ache, I don't care as I have to rehab myself this way, as I "feel the need" What I have now are smaller arms and legs, although I did retain some of the muscle I put on with the Arts. You would never believe however how fast you can loose it!!
Anyway I'll leave it at that for now, and if someone needs more info just ask. Great site and thanks for listening!!
P.S. I also have to watch what I eat, so that plays into the nutrition end of things. I take a multivitamin, and a few others helpers, but would like some suggestions on this area to. Thanks
