I have just been to the gym for about a week now. I go to the gym three times a week. I do Full body workout for an hour. 15 minutes of cardio- running, cycling and rowing. Then I do chest press, shoulder press, abductor, leg press, bicep curls and lat pulls. I have not started free weights training yet. I have started counting calories and have lost about 3 pounds after a week!! I take whey protein isolate 30g post workout. Someone said that creatine is good too. however, I am not sure if I have to use that at this stage.
Can you please guide me? Should I start doing split sessions or full body workout in the beginning. I have to loose belly fat and gain muscle simultaneously. Just to give you an idea, I am short 5’5’’ and weigh 68 kgs.
I am no expert, but I too needed to lose belly fat. I’ve lost 21 lbs since April 4th of this year by doing 2 very specific things… 1) cut bread completely out of my diet, and 2) I did the Spartacus circuit training (from Men’s Health Magazine) 3 days a week. 12 of the 21 lbs came off in the first 4 weeks. I literally had to turn in and replace all my work uniforms from 36 in waist to a 32 in waist. Again, I’m no expert, but this worked for me.
