Hey everyone, my name is Craig and this is my first post here on the forum so I'm just including a short intro here along with some questions I have about getting back in shape.
First of all, I am 29 years old (until February) and I am interested in learning more about fitness, nutrition,martial arts, and life in general.
Hobbies include: Drums/Guitar, Shooting guns, Fishing and exploring new areas. Feel free to ask any questions.
So, now that I've got that out of the way...
I have been working nights (11pm-7am) on a military base for the past 10-11 years now. It's a great job with alot of down-time but alot of desk time as well.
I really want to get back into working out and eating healthy from now on. The problem I'm having is deciding when and how to do it most effectively. That's why I joined here. Below are my physical details and questions.
Height: 5'11in.
Weight: 175-180lbs.
Question 1:
When is the best time to work out based on my schedule?(11pm-7am) Before going to sleep in the morning when I get home, or after waking up before going to work?
Question 2:
What should I bring to eat at work overnight? Types of snacks, meals, drinks...etc.?
Question 3:
What are your thoughts on workout programs such as "Insanity" and "P90X" or what type of workout routine would provide most efficient fat-burning and muscle gain? (I have some free weights and access to the two workout programs above.)
Ok, thanks for reading this and for taking the time to help me out!
