    Right my back story
    I have recently got married and come back from the honeymoon nearly a stone heavier...

    Now i have always been fit and healthy although i have carried a bit extra on my chest for the last few years not quite Moobs but heading that way.

    I love to exercise and will be running every morning starting from Monday for about 40/45 minutes and then i will go into the gym we have in work during my lunch break....

    The question I have is ....to lose this weight and start to tone up am I better to just do cardio before I start lifting weights or can/should I do both at the same time???
    (the number on the weighing scale doesn't bother me is how i look and fell that i think is important)

    You can do both but I would say don't run every day, if you're new to it you'll probably injure.

    I've been walking your road and the four best things I've done are :-

    (a) Ditch booze
    (b) Sort out my diet
    (c) Join a well-equipped gym
    (d) Get instruction in how to lift heavy metal things (well, heavy for me, you understand).

    Have done very little cardio (10 minute interval sprints on a rower a few times a week). Weights 3 times a week for 45 minutes. Seeing a massive difference already in my physique, and feeling great.

    When my rapid gains slow down a bit I'll look at working in some more cardio but for now just the weights seem to have a huge effect.

    Ditch the booze..well needless to say I will be cutting back now that I'm back from honeymoon

    The diet I have already started to do...and I like healthy food so that's easy

    I have half decent gym in work which has all I'll need so I'm sorted there

    And we have had gym instructors in before so I know what I' doing with my form when i lift.

    I have come to the conclusion that I'm going to do cardio Monday..weights and soccer training Tuesday..Cardio again on Wednesday weights and soccer on Thursday...cardio again on Friday break on Saturday and I have matches on Sunday so that will probably do.

    As part of the soccer training we do circuit training and spinning so that should all help long term. Im also keeping a food journal so i can keep track of what i eat and drink.


    Ill keep ye posted!!! :)
