My resting day isnt set properly. If i feel like resting on that day, i'll do so. But max 1 rest day per week
My workouts are :- 4 sets, 8-10 reps. 3 exercises per muscle group. So total 9 exercises per day.
Cardio = Cycling studio. At least.. 40 minutes?
5-10 minutes max incline jog on treadmill before weights
Warmup -> Weights -> Cardio

Hey guys,

I don't know if im getting on correct track or not.Please review on my routine please.
Currently focusing on Weight Loose.
 
Weight - 130kg
Height - 170cm +-
So guys,do you think its actually worth and correct what im doing ?  I just aiming to burn lotsa fat before my brothers marriage which is in Jun end.

Well i think you're lacking on fibre and you gotta reduce on carbs buddy

My routine :- 10 minutes wamup, incline 15 speed 6
Weights for an hour, 9 exercises total, 3 muscle group
Lastly, cycling classes RPM for 50 minutes
I got rid of what, only 8kgs in 3 months?
So yeah, losing weight is a slow process... Or maybe i've been eating too much cool2.gif
Dont forget to minimize meal portions. Take 6 meals per day to increase your metabolism rate, it works!
Oh, and drink lots of water too!

Good luck! Congrats on your brother's engagement thumbup.gif

Thanks for your advise buddy.
Really appreciate it.
Can suggest me a perfect 6 meal a day ? Sorry im too noob on this.
This is my 2nd week on gym,meanwhile parents thinking that im forcing my self everyday working out.
But the intention makes me cut down most of my craving food etc Ice Cream,Chocolates,and even Rice.

Im a weight pounder about 130kg. I eventually loose around 2-5kg by eating oats .

As instructed by my coach,there no point for me to carry weight at the moment because he wants me to loose weight .
Is that my workout routine is a proper one ?
*
I cant advise you on the perfect 6 meal a day cause me, myself dont even consume 6 meals per day, sorry!
Reduce on sugar and salt
Celeb Fitness gym trainer told me to not focus on your weight loss, focus on your appearance and body fat
Cause you can lose 3 kgs of WATER in one day, intense cardio
Which i find his statement pretty true
I'm not so sure abt your situation, i'm weighing 80kgs, im overweight according to my BMI
I asked CF trainer what should i do?
He told me to focus on weights, cause he wants me to convert my fats into muscles
So i'll suggest you to lift weights as well. I used to spend 3 hours in the gym last time before i started working
But the most inportant thing i've learned from the gym for losing weight is to keep your heart rate constant
What i mean by is after warmup, lift weights. Dont take a break too long, try your best to avoid your heart rate from dropping
Eventually you're burn fats. Try googling on the AFTERBURN workouts too!
P/S i'm not 100% correct, this is based on my experience only. I might be wrong too hmm.gif

Hi there.
Sorry to hijack this thread but I don't wanna create  a thread just to ask one question.. Besides, this thread is the closest in relation to what I want to ask  sweat.gif

I have lost 4 kg after doing some serious cardio workout and jogging for the last 4-5 months now my weight is at 70kg. (my stats now: 170cm, 70kg, 32inch waist).

I ve just joined a gym recently to build some muscle  flex.gif  and I've purchased a whey protein (Nitrotech Hardcore Pro series) The suggested consumption is 2 serving 3 times daily for atleast six weeks.

My question is, since I just started joining gym, and only using the machine (not even venturing to he free weight area YET accept a pair of 10 kg dumbells), and I go there on alternate days (plus weekend off).
Should I consume the formula using the suggested consumption or do I have to modify it?

You see I am very afraid if I drink em everyday, I would gain weight again and that would be disheartening for me cry.gif

If I do have to modify it.. Can someone give me some advice regarding this? Thank you guys  notworthy.gif

2 servings 3 times per day? Woah. I only take 2 servings one time per day, after workout. I'm taking ON Gold Standard

Does taking protein shake helps to lose weight or will it actually makes one gain instead? Without doing any strength exercises?

I'm asking out of curiosity only.

Protein shake wont help you lose weight. It depends on your calorie intake. Some say if you take protein shakes without doing any exercise, you'll get fat. I take protein shakes everyday after workout only and i'm still losing weight smile.gif

Need some advise here. I'm 170cm 68kg.

My daily meal is:
Breakfast
Tuna with 2 slice wholemeal bread + low fat milk
or
2 half boiled egg with 2 slice wholemeal bread + low fat milk

Lunch
Small rice with veggie/potatoes, tofu, egg and chicken

I've been doing cardio on stationery bike for 6 times per week, each time 30-40 mins. After that will be on dumb bell for around 10-15 mins.

Do you guys think this is the correct way for me to reduce the bf% in my body?

Any advise is much appreciated

I would advice you to reduce on cardio and spend more time on weight training if you wanna look buff and ripped
Weight training also burns body fat, dont forget nod.gif
Try and reduce on carbs though

Can't be any unhealthier than the usual Malaysian food, e.g. char koay teow or nasi lemak.

In fact, it is much healthier if compared to such foods. Added on with milk, that's even better.

The only lacking thing would be a significant source of vitamins and minerals, which the usual foodstuff as mentioned above don't provide anyway.

Malaysian food is really unhealthy indeed. Homecooked meal are the best.

Actually it would be foolish to say food is unhealthy. In actual fact what's unhealthy is the selection process. For example, what's lacking in most diets are vegetables and legumes, very lacking. They are compensated with rice instead.

Malaysian food nowadays i guess?

I need help here. Since CNY, I have started my weight loss plan. Before that, my weight is 99 kg,173cm.

Now I am 90kg,173cm.

I sprint(run fast and rest continuously) 30 mins everyday for about 3.25km(65 lamp posts)

Didnt take breakfast(sleep til very late since i am final year student lol),

lunch eat rice,(meat,vege,egg)any of 2,

and dinner only take oat with 2-3big spoons of sugars(without sugar it is yucky lol)

Sometimes supper(not frequent,once in 2 weeks) with roti bawang/kosong with teh o ais kosong.

In addition, I do take dumbbell for biceps on arms for about 200 times per everyday.. Er, for fun,not to increase muscle mass, just because my brother got dumb bells XD

I every tues will go to uni clinic to measure weight, and consistently drop within 0.5-2kg.
I do understand that my max intake of calories is 2000 per day calculated from internet.

Now the problem is, when it reaches 90 or 89.5, it cant go further more, and remain same though add another activity:cycling for 3.25km every night around 11pm.

another problem occurs as I feel no energy when running,not because of tired or lack of oxygen, oni feel better if i eat more abit during lunch.

Anyone can help me?as my target is to reduce until 70-80kg. 10 more kg to go.

I am graduating,so maybe someone can suggest a better plan for me?

lets say everyday jog 30 mins, breakfast with 4 empty breads + nescafe, lunch rice(vege+egg+meat any 2), dinner(i cant choose for dinner,have to eat whatever mum cook==). what else i can do? plz help  ohmy.gif

What's up Kenneth!
Based on my diet plan with results :-
From what i've learned, breakfast is really important. In fact, i read this article which says that having eggs for breakfast helps you lost weight. Totally cut off rice for lunch. Rice plays alot of factor especially when it comes to losing weight. Where as for dinner, have a simple light dinner, prob a bowl of salad with chicken breast. Try your very best to reduce on sugar and salt. I know its hard but you dont have a choice. Sugar is really really bad. I only have one can of soda per month. Totally cut on supper, never have meals after 8pm. Really unhealthy dude especially roti bawang/kosong. Packed with unhealthy carbs. Teh O Ais kosong, packed with unhealthy diluted sugar. There's no point working out hard when you cant control your diet, like some of them say 'muscles are made in the kitchen the most'. Eventhough you go to clinic all the time, losing weight doesnt mean you lose body fat mass. Dont forget about water retention ( sweat ). This is my routine everyday :-

Bfast :- 2 Eggs. If too lazy to cook, a cup of raw rolled oats and milk
Lunch :- Oven baked chicken legs ( sometimes breast ) with vegetables. Sometimes i'll have Salmon
Dinner :- My family is busy, so i cater food. I'll stop eating when i'm not feeling hungry, feel slightly abit full

Gym :- 10 mins warmup on treadmill, incline 8 constant. Speed 4, then Speed 12, then back to Speed 4, Then back to speed 12. Change every 30 seconds. Yes, it's really tiring. Remember, finish when you're done, not when you're tired. Then i'll move on to weights. Weight training about 1-2 hours. Consistent weight training, meaning shorter rest time. Then i'll go for cycling classes ( one class burns approx 500 calories, i'll only cycle 3 times per week )

I did this for 3 months. My results :- 88.8kgs --> 76.4kgs in 3 months
I'm pretty sure you'll do better if you totally cut off on sugar and salt. I'm not disciplined enough, i have ice cream and hamburgers sometimes tongue.gif All the best thumbup.gif
