>>362307 I joined the gym mainly to lose weight. When I started my routine was pretty simple because I've never had done ANY kind of exercise/sports before (aka lazy bastard).
There was day A and day B.
A: 3 sets of 12 reps: upper part of the body. Biceps, triceps, back, chest, shoulder. It was mainly to get me started I think and to help my body on not losing that much muscle because I was doing cardio 5x a week.
B: lower part of the body. Legs. Same thing, 3 sets of 12 reps.
So basically I was lifting weight just to SAVE muscle mass in the beginning. Cardio 5x a week: around 45~50 mins every day. I would run for X minutes until my pulse was around 180 and then I would jog to recover then repeat it.
I ate every 2,5 hours, small meals. Lowered my carb intake and increased my protein intake. WATER, WATER AND WATER! My calorie deficit was around 700~1000 kcal a day (it worked better for me). In 4 months I was able to lose 44 pounds.
