Protein & Workouts Question!

[GreenMint]

Hi guys, I've not really been active in here much in the past, but a quick lowdown, I'm 33, not done enough exercise for the last 10 years, and have recently started at a gym/circuits, so:

I'm doing at least 3 sessions a week, sometimes 2 gym 1 circuit training & vice versa, trying to up it to 2 of each though.

I'm only about 160lbs, 5"11, pretty thin but the early 30's have "blessed" me with a bit of extra stomach bulge which is something I want rid of an am working hard on!

The thing is, I'm wanting to bulk up my arms/legs & torso, get a bit bigger all over and get a bit more toned (I know, that word...) Also trying to work on my stamina and lose that stomach weight, I know trying to do 3 things at once probably isn't a great idea, but I'm trying to just get fitter, work on all 3 things over time, I'm just not that clued up on diet & protein mixes etc.. some guys I know are obsessing I should get them, some others saying they are pointless for what I'm trying to do, I'm stuck in the middle, so really seeking advice on here instead, sometimes its easier when you can't hear people!!

Thanks!

Thanks guys, French I'll give that a go, I'm not going cardio mad but just trying to work on my general stamina as well, Circuits seem t do that well along with a fair bit of strength work (When you're at my level!), I need to startlifting more in the gym, the main cardio, if you can even call them that, that I do at the gym are about 15 mins cross trainer, 10 mins rowing & hand bike.

While I "kinda" see what angle you're coming from Nate, I think I'll stick with the advice of the guys who don't come across as though they were dropped on their heads as babies, but thanks

besides which, I go to the gym with my girlfriend, so your point is kinda pointless
