I have chosen gym as a sports option for next year and I was wondering what would be a good routine to lose body fat and become more healthy with these pieces of equipment:
A rowing machine
Exercise bike
Chest and Shoulder Machines
Leg Machines
Dumbbells etc…
and of course mats for sit ups and press ups.
We have 1.30hrs-2hrs each session if that’s any help?
Thanks very much

I’m looking to lose weight for the summer, started a bit late I know!

But this is what I ate today, and I just wondered if it is healthy & will aid weight loss? :]

Breakfast – fat free natural yoghurt, red grapes, blueberries & ground cinnamon
Lunch – rocket, spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, king prawns
Dinner – grilled & skinless chicken breast with steamed broccoli, carrots & cauliflower and mashed potato (made without fat/milk), chicken bovril (as gravy!)
Drinks – 2litres water, 2 cups coffee with skimmed milk (one decaff, one not), cup of peppermint tea

This is only a sample of what I intend to eat, but it will all be along the same lines every day (except Saturday when I will eat out either an Indian or Chinese!!)

I’m also looking for some exercise tips – I previously joined a gym but didn’t go, and I find trying to workout at home (I have an exercise bike, DVDs, step aerobics, etc) too easy to avoid. I’m thinking of joining a different gym that’s closer to home and has a swimming pool as well.

What is the best way to start exercising without over doing it or getting bored? Like a way to ease myself into it so that I can learn to love it but which will also maximise weight loss/toning?

I’m 5ft10, broadly built, size UK18, currently about 220lbs, and looking to lose 30lbs as a starting point.

All help appreciated :]

Thanks muchies.
