Sup /fit/?

I am 6'2" and ~245lbs (Haven't weighed myself in a few months)

I want to lose as much weight as possible by summer. What can I do? I have 100% determination and commitment, but not too much money. I have access to a weight bench, dumbbells, and other basic stuff.

What can I do to lose as much weight as I can by summer?

1. Lurk more
2. Cardio at least 30 mins 4 days per week
3. Eat healthier foods in smaller portions at least 5 times per day.
4. Lift weights for at least 45 mins per day 4 days per week.
5. GET OFF YOUR FAT ASS AND GO NOW!

Maybe your school has a fitness center. It's probably free, or cheap.


Good luck!

I'll reiterate again

Look up your calorie and fat quotas for one day follow them

Do Cardio( at least 4 times a week for you this means running since you dont have much money work up to at least 3 miles in one session)

Lift weights( a must...id go with the dumbells freestle it works out more muscle)

All right bro, here's what you need to do...from your post your saying you want to lose weight (fat). So. Start running twice a day, for about 20 minutes each time.More then that and you wont be burning fat, you'll be burning glucose. If you want, start doing workouts every other day...look online for some regimes. Other then that, avoid junk food, eat lean, keep it up.

If you haven't been running/working out for quite some time you should start by walking to not fuck up your knees. I weighed about your weight 2-3 months ago and now im working out 3 days a week and doing cardio 2 days a week.

You should just start with going out for walks 2-3 times a week and really cut back on snacks, thats the key. You wont notice any difference if you think cardio is going to negate your snacking.

Hey Anon,

Some pretty good advice here. If you haven't done much cardio fitness lately (or ever), then start off easy. The idea is to get your heart rate up, but not too high. You can worry about actual heart rate later, but here's a tip: if you are struggling to breath, and can no longer speak sentences without gasping, then your body is going to go anaerobic and you will no longer be burning fat (but you will be strengthening your heart). Right now don't worry so much about your heart (sounds terrible, I know). If you get winded walking fast, well then you have to work on your heart.

Honestly, 90% of burning fat or building muscle or whatever is nutrition. Fuck Atkins and fad diet shit. Cut back on fat (no butter, olive oil, sour cream, ice cream, etc), avoid simple carbs like sugar (eat mostly complex carbs), eat an adequate amount of protein. You'll get fat in your diet from most anything. Cutting fat out helps you cut out calories. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables as they'll help fill you up but don't have too many calories, unlike pizza. (I'd recommend making most of your snacks in a day fruits and vegetables, and you should definitely have at least one snack between every meal; this will keep your metabolism up. When your body thinks meals are few and far between it shuts down your metabolism and you won't burn fat.)

Also, someone else said this, but it's important: build some muscle. Muscle mass requires energy to maintain, so you're base metabolism willl burn more calories.

Good luck.

He has his shit backwards. You begin your workout by burning glucose, and burn fat once the readily available glucose has been depleted.

Your body has a natural amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood, which is the first source of enegy accessed in exercise. When you use up the blood sugar it gets replenished by breaking down fat (which is just stored sugar).

When burning fat, emphasis should be on longer workouts which maintain an elevated heartrate.
