Alright /fit/, I did it, I finally did it. I paid 500$ for a year's membership to 24 Hour Fitness. Today was the day. Because every day before today, I had put it off until the next.

But now I feel like I'm ready. The 24 hour nature of the gym gels better with my schedule, and doesn't give me any excuses not to go. Most of my workouts will take place around 11pm. I plan on an every other day lift routine, with aerobics on off days.

I am 18 years old, and I weight 177 @ 5'10"- not a complete porker, but still standing to lose a few. That gives me a BMI of 25.4, which classifies me as overweight anyway.

Now, I was in athletic programs in school, but never pursued them very far, mostly for lack of motivation and an unnaturally slim physique. My motivation now is in the picture to the left. I intend to use this meal plan:

What I need from you, /fit/, is a lift routine to TONE myself. I'm not looking to get big, just get some abs. Although I know ho to do the lifts, I'm completely clueless as to where they affect or what I should be doing. So treat me like an idiot, and help me be fit.

Oh, and dorm lifestyle restricts my ability to make "seared steak" or "chicken breast" for dinner, so I was wondering if a can of tinned chicken and tuna, respectively, would suffice.

Yes canned chicken, and canned tuna is just fine. Also for a change of pace if you so please, canned kidney beans are a convenient source of good protein, complex carbs, and fiber.

I would explain how every lift works, but that would take me forever. So instead check out these two awesome sites that show you how each work out is done, and which body part each one targets.

Try to come up with a split routine, if you plan on working out 4 days per week, or a hypertrophy routine if you plan on working out 3 days per week.

Remember that variety is your best friend. If you do the same things week in and week out you'll hit a plateau fairly fast.

Seriously. I typed out like 2 different responses but I'll just go with:

>OH GOD MY LAST WORKOUT MADE MY MUSCLES EXPLODE NOW I LOOK LIKE A MEATHEAD

Ohh yeah. I almost forgot.

SQUATS YOU HAVE TO SQUAT.

Squats, dead lifts, cleans, and the benchpress will get you "toned" much faster, then if you were to leave them out.

if they really are then you'll have no problem squatting 250lbs, but remember that iron has a way of making a liar out of any previous conceptions if you get cocky
