Whats a good work-out plan to lower body fat without losing muscle mass. I weigh 215, want to get down to 190?

Question

A good website or work schedule would be good enough.

Answer 1

do cardio atleast 4 times a week and incorporate weight lifting as well in your routine...you will lose the fat and build muscle..

Answer 2

Cardio/aerobics will not build much muscle mass, but it will maintain what you have. Weight training/bodybuilding will build the mass. You also need to go on a diet. Consumer Reports recently rated the Volumetric Eating Plan as the best approach to weight-loss dieting. Simply put, for each food you look up or calculate the caloric density by dividing the number of calories in a serving by the weight of the serving. Then you focus your attention on eating more low-density foods than high-density ones. They fill you up sooner, so your calorie intake drops, and you lose weight. You can continue the plan indefinitely (after you get to your desired weight, just add a few high density foods to maintain it), so this diet has a good chance to keep you at your desired weight once you get there. There is a book available, "The Volumetrics Eating Plan", published this year.

Answer 3

You don't say your height, but I would not worry about muscle mass. Probably if you do some walking and basic dumbbell work you will end up more tone than you are now.
Go to the library and check out a few books. You do not need to join some program or spend a penny.
1. Count all calories. Every single one.
2. Shift diet to protien and veggies.
3. Weigh yourself on a good scale every day and log it.
4. Basic cardio workout 30-60 minutes per day.
Make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your plan.

Answer 4

You have to keep working out regularly but start eating healthier,that way the healthy eating will help you loose weight while the working out will still keep the muscle you want!

Answer 5

high energy such as aerobics. you lose the fat and still maintain and intensify your muscle mass.

Answer 6

Stop drinking beer, eating out, eating chinese food, eating donuts and eating pizza. You pretty much need to join a gym and start running and doing lots of sit ups. Stop your bad habits now you big fat slob.
