Thanks guys! I started working out last year around Thanksgiving, then started with a trainer in the spring. Best investment of my life. Went from 160 lbs at the beginning of the year to 143 this morning.
I don't do any cardio.. well any long distance cardio. We basically start on the treadmill at about a 3 speed on the highest incline for 15 mins then we do high impact cardio like suicides and such for maybe another 15 to 20 mins. Then we go and do a lot of weights. We focus on certain body parts, and I do a lot of squats and lunges.
Oh and a lot of it is what you eat. I don't eat red meat or a lot of carbs. No pasta though I love it, and try to stay from bread and sugar. Lots of water, lots of fruits and veggies.
