Hay /fit/,

I'm 5'10", weight ~185 pounds, and I'm ready to start getting into shape. At home all I've done is lift 35 pound dumbells (it's the heaviest I have) for about 50 reps before I get tired/bored. I don't run much because of exercise-induced asthma, but I'll ask the doctor for an inhaler next time I see him. Bought a new pair of tennis shoes today too.

Either tomorrow or Wednesday I'm going to start going to the college gym. It's $45 for three sessions with a trainer a semester and a "fitness evaluation". Is this a good deal?

Any other advice you can give for a guy about to start out?

Buy heavier weights or go to the gym 3 times a week, do Starting strength. Cut first bulk later.

Don't neglect weight training.

Do HIIT

Sorry, I'm not big on the terminology.

Cut?
HIIT?

cutting is basically having a ~500 total daily calorie deficiet, it'll amount to 1 pound lost each week

HIIT is high intensity interval training

How do I figure out my net calorie intake? Figuring out how much you eat should be easy, but how much you lose?

I've been ready for the last few months, and I've only waited until now because the semester doesn't start until tomorrow. 9/10 times what you said might be right, but I'm serious.
