I want to lose weight and add muscle mass?

Question

Alright, my stomache is bigger than it should be, but my arms and chest are smaller than I would like them to be.

I have started running, and I can run for a very long time. I run about one hour at about an average of 6.0. If I continue to lift weights, not eat too late and run, will that be good enough? I also play basketball. I am about 5'8 with about 173 pounds. I need some help.

It's annoying, I don't want to apear as though i can't play sports and the like when I am very good. Most of the time I don't get picked early because it looks like I can't play but I am very good, I always have to prove myself.

Answer 1

Because you like to run start a routine with this, you can run 4-6 days a week with a day off to rest. Watch what you eat too, eat healthy foods, limit your sweets to several times a week, watch your snacks at night, fried foods, cheeses, limit cokes.
When you weight train, be sure to not work the same muscles the next day, a day off in between is necessary for recovery for the muscle fibers. For instance work your upper body one day and your lower body the next day, alternating like this will allow them to recover. It sounds like you have a good plan.

Answer 2

use the weights with a spotter to get a burn do the bench when you are comfortable with a weight like say a hundred pounds you can do twenty with out a problem then have a person hold the weight under neath with a couple of fingers til you cannot lift it anymore without help now go to curling bench put on what you can lift comfortable twenty times have someone spot under your hands now go for it when you cant get the curl anymore have them press with a finger under each hand just enough thats the way to the burn now work another group tommorrow get a good book on weight and body building from the library like franco columbos books or pumping iron

Answer 3

Exercise everyday like jogging around the block
Skip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per day
Dont eat until you're full
Eat fruits at night if your hungry.
Drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.

Answer 4

Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.

Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).

You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.
