Hey guys n gals, this is my first time on a fitness forum, i'm 23 years old and i'm just starting to get serious about getting into shape, but i don't think i can do it solo, and i would love some suggestions and advice from the community.
For the past 6 months i've basically been on a diet of V energy drink and junk food and spent most of the day (if not all of it) sat on the computer. I weigh roughly 80lbs (i think, does that sound right?) so i'm not exactly FAT, i'm actually quite skinny, but i have a beer gut like santa clause, and my ultimate goal is to turn it into a 6 pack, or at least get it flat.
I've recently gone out and purchased a decent sized tub of "Hydroxy burn pro" protein shake, and a bottle of Swisse ultravitamin capsules. I'm drinking nothing but water now all day and won't go anywhere near fast food.
My daily routine now basically consists of 1 scoop of shake, 30 mins later i go for a 40 minute power walk, when i get home i throw on some Rammstein and begin lifting my 3kg dumbells (better than nothing) and then i do about 30 stomach crunches. Then i finish off with 2 more scoops of shake, and thats basically it.
I used to go to a gym at the local wave pool, and spend about 40 minutes running the treadmill and lifting weights, but i really didn't enjoy the lack of privacy and back n forth car trips, i kind of figure i can do most of my workouts at home.
So does anybody have any opinions about my new lifestyle? anything i could be doing better or anything i shouldn't be doing?
I apologise for the walls of text and partial life story, but any help at all you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
