I'm a 35 year old male, just started a gym, infact never been to a gym before. Mainly to tone up my muscles, increase strength in my arms (although dont wish to look like Arnold Swartzy!), and increase stamina and blood circulation.
What is the best type of food to eat? Should I eat more? The last thing I want to do is now overeat and get fat.
Should I just drink water, or those sports drinks that other people tend to carry round with them, are they really just a gimmick?
My fitness instructor has given me 2 sets of workouts, first rowing, a step master (kinda cross trainer) and then a running machine for my stamina etc. The second is a series of machines and general exercises such as Press ups, pull ups, leg extensions, bicep curler, etc with weights on for my muscles etc.
By the time I've finished the first workout, and done my press-ups from the second workout, my arms are so weak that I can't continue with the rest!! Is this normal? I need encouragement!
