Hi Guys, just found this great topic while trolling thru LYN. Im trying to get in shape too. Been reading thru several other threads and they say that its counter productive to lose weight and gain muscles at the same time. Is that true? Ive been going to the gym daily and my routine usually is:

Weight: 100kg
Height: 5' 8"

1. Treadmill for 30-40 mins
2. Weights for about an hour with abdominal resistance training in between each weight machine(Legs and Upper Body)
3. Short cardio for 10 mins on the bike

I try to do as much weight training as i can bear. I know ive hit my limit when i cant lift anymore.
Im changing my diet as well but nothing too drastic.

Is there a better routine that you can perhaps recommend?
