I am new here and have jsut started a new exercise program and I am hoping someone here can help me out with a few questions I have.
I am female approx 5'2 and 150 pounds. Since quiting smoking on 10-17-2003 I have put on a good 30+ pounds and I am now looking to get rid of it. I recently joined my local gym and working the following program:
6 days a week
30 minutes on eliptical ( approx 330 calories burned)
20 minute fitness circuit (put together by the gym it alternates cardio/weights every 30 seconds) it has approx 14 weight stations & then 14 cardio stations as well.
My question is, is this a good program for me and how soon should I start to see results.
As far as my eating goes - I eat pretty healthy
nothing fried / lots of chicken & broiled fish (no butter)
skim milk - lots of salad with fat free dressing
lots of fruits & veggies as well
I am more of a fat/calories counter than a carb counter.
Any advise I can get would be greatly appreciated!
 
hi there,


I already responded to this in another thread, but here it is ...

You'll probably see results quickly, however keep in mind that this workout regime will cause you to develop muscle and muscle is heavier than fat. So even if the scale doesn't move much, also look at your appearance and notice how your clothes fit - those are probably the better indicators to measure your success - Good Luck and keep up the good work:)
 
Thank you - It has only been 2 weeks on this program, still going strong. I am really enjoying the exercise, so I am hoping to stay with it at least throughout the winter. No results so far except for actually a little gain but from what I hear that is expected. I do try & stay away from the scale & judge based upon look and clothing fit. The best part is that I am enjoying it and I know it is helping to rebuild by lung capacity as well.
This site is GREAT for encouragement. ! ! !
