This is a repost from the weightloss forum, but I wanted some opinions from the body builders as well.
Hey Gals and Guys!
I'm 19 and in college, currently 6'0 at 175lbs. I don't know any of my other stats. My main goal for the last year has been weight loss, I'm down from 250lbs (
See my Journal) and I'm actually pretty happy with where I am at the moment!
What I'd like to do now is continue my weight loss, I'd love to be around 160 or 165, but start getting more toned! Right now I have a lot of fat and not a lot of muscle. I'd like to keep getting rid of my fat but start building up some muscle to get more toned.
I'm wondering what people would suggest in terms of what sort of foods I need to be looking at, and what sort of exercises I should focus on. I'd mainly like my upper body to be a bit more defined, not ripped, just some general shape and form. But I also want to build up some leg strength.
Does anyone know a good workout routine I can get into or look up? What sort of exercises can I do for this? I DO have access to weights, but not that often, so the more I can do with just dumbbells (2-20lbs) in my dorm room the better, but I WILL be hitting the gym more this semester so I can use equipment there.
So to recap:
For getting toned and building muscle while maintaining some weight loss I'm looking for:
Tips on Nutrition (Foods such as oatmeal, as well as what I need to get such as protein and avoid)
Tips of Excersices: if anyone knows/has a good workout plan or can give some tips of a few exercises that might work well that would be the bomb! Or just a place to look them up and read on how to make my own workout schedule.
