guys

i'm 45 and about 2 stone over weight
have got a home gym and treadmill

am happy to diet and do as much cardio as necessary to lose weight and slim down.

love to weight train and build mussle too - but not as priority (weight loss !)

can you help with a suggested program with sufficient rest and recouperation.

i work in construction (on tools) every day - so am quite fit and strong (though need to be much fitter )

thanks

Rob, you might try a book called 'Younger Next Year'. It's meant for guys over 50 but it applies equally well to 45 year olds. Written by a retired lawyer and a doctor. It covers what you need to do and why. Very motivating and very interesting.

Lots of sound advice about diet, cardio (high and and low heart rate) and weights (VERY inportant).

Good luck in achieving your goals
