Posts Tagged ‘weights’

I am a female approximately 20 pounds overweight and just joined a gym. We don’t have any personal trainers around here (very small town) so I have a routine online. It consists of 30 minutes of cardio then stretching then a strength workout with weights (3 sets of 12-15 repititions). I have no idea how much I should be lifting or how often I should do this for weight loss. Can anyone help? Thanks.

hi. i am 17 and i want to loose about a stone before early september, i currently lift weights every other day or each day depending on the previous days performance, also i run 8km each day split into a morning and evening session, my calorie intake is also between 1500-2000 and i currently weigh approx 15 stone. are my goals set to high or are they realistic, i currently have no experiance in this area so if there is anyway to speed up the wieght loss ill greatly appriciate it.
p.s i also have two rugby training sessions a week
p.p.s i have a manual job on saterdays cleaning and lifting pigs and lambs ect around a butchers.
thanks for any of your help.

I’m very confused. If I want to lose fat primarily and maybe build some muscle, do I focus on cardio alone, weights alone, or both? Some people say if you do both nothing will happen, bc in weight training you eat more calories than your body burns and in weight loss you eat less than your body burns!!! What should I do?

When working towards an over all weight loss goal, is it more important to focus on cardio or strength training? I know it’s best to incorporate both into a fitness program. But should I do less cardio with more attention to weights? Or a longer cardio session followed by a short session of weights?

I’m 14
A female
About 122 pounds
And about 5’3
Almost 14 and a half.
Can I make my shoulders and my chest wider?
And how?

I don’t have a bench press
However, I do have 6lb weights (2)

I may join the swim team this winter

Also，am I fat?

Does the traditional cardio (3-4 times a week) really work to help weight loss. I’m looking to loose about 15 lbs over next few months, and would also like too add weight training in. Does the weight training disrupt the cardio and change how your body looses weight? What is the best method to loose weight but become somewhat toned with the weights? I think I am lacking in motivation that this will really work over time and quickly become frustrated if I don’t see change quickly. Thanks and Happy New Year!
