Well when i say tone, i do mean shedding fat and showing muscle definition, but i do want to get a little more muscle as well.
I dont follow a training program, and actually i've never followed one. I do play a wide variety of sports though, basketball the main sport. I'm active almost every day from about 2-4 hours each day.
As well as diet, not so much. I do eat healthy, but mostly junk food.
Again, I will not be the one to tell you to add mass, for one simple reason. Its my opinion, a person will more than likely stick with a program that is close-kin in what makes them happy----"within", and if this goal does this for you, and then by all means......go get it.
Later, after you reach this goal milestone, and your "true inner feelings" change, then you can consider a different path, and will certainly have a sound base to build from.
This is what I got from this post:
1. You have never trained with weight before.
2. You mainly engaged in endurance type of activities (i.e Basketball).
3. If the aforementioned is correct (above), then you have some fine genetics.
Am I correct to assume:
1. You know very little about training with weights?
2. You know very little about calories, macro nutrients, and over all nutrition.
With the above information:
1. Have high odds your endurance level is rather good.
2. The odds are rather high, that if you were to add in an appropriate training program with weights, you would probability react very favorably because the stress being applied to the body is a new experience. You are actually in a good place, with not weight training before, especially with your current physique.
3. Add in some personally specific calorie calculations, and sound macro nutrients into the equation, and this will increase these odds of success.
4. Given your current starting point (keeping things equal), it will simply not take that long to earn your goal--it is this close, IMO.
5. You could still enjoy your basketball (etc), as part of your fitness/recreational activity.
Couple of questions:
1. Do you have access to a gym (at home, school, or place of business)?
2. Do you want assistance in trying to develop a personally specific program?
3. Do you want a post in how to determine your approximated need in calories?
4. How do you eat healthy, and eat mostly "junk food"?
Taken from this quote:
As well as diet, not so much. I do eat healthy, but mostly junk food.
Stay true with what YOU want out of diet and fitness. It will motivate you more, than trying to do something, you "really" do not want, but "think" you want. If this makes sense.
Never abandon yourself.

Chillen
