Right guys im after loosing some weight and toning up, now i used to go the gym quite a lot when i was in my early 20's but have not really done much since and i am now 29 (But never really bothered with cardio just weights)
I weigh 12st 10lb and im 5ft 7" tall and feel im overweight.
The thing is i have a treadmill at home so have no excuse for not doing cardio, but i just lack the motivation.
Another thing is where do i start on the treadmill not to overdo it ? A few months ago i was keen on doing it and started eating properly. My diet went like this :
9am - Breakfast - 2 handfuls of oats with 1 spoonful of honey
11-12pm - Snack - Apple or Banana
2-3pm - Lunch - Tin of tuna with light mayo on a brown pitta
5-6pm - Snack - Apple or Banana (if i had banana for morning snack would have the opposite)
8-9pm - Tea - One whole chicken breast marrinated with shwarzs cajun spice and olive oil, steamed carrots and brocolli and a handfull of brown rice.
Now i did that and lost 10-11lbs (was originally 13st 1lb) in 3 weeks while getting on the treadmill 2-3 times a week.
I used to jog on the treadmill and do 30mins at speeds of 5-6mph (not constantly, used to slow down to 3mph every 5-6mins as it was killing me) and cover 2.3-2.6miles but my friend said it was better to just walk at 4mph on a 7 incline for 30 mins which i tried and was very hard also.
Any advise on what to do exercise wise and any modifications to the diet you would recommend ?
Thanks
