I am a 6'1' 365lb male that has had a sedentary life style for 10 years. Before I got so far off track I was a moderate athlete. I did some weight training and mountain biking. At one time I was a pretty fit, and muscular 205-210. Now I am ready for my lifestyle change before it is too late, sometime I feel like it already is...
I have just been out of this for so long I am kind of stumped as to where to start. I want to get back into weight training again but I know the most important thing for me right now is getting to a healthy weight. I will start my routine at home and probably get into a gym in a few months or so. I don't want to wait until I can get to the gym. I would like to start now. I have a heavy bag, adjustable 50lb dumbbell set, a resistance band set, a jump rope, and a 16kg/35.2lb kettle bell.
I am just wondering if I should concentrate on just aerobic activity for a while, or should I start with some light weight work too?
If I do both do I do cardio on the same days a weight training?
Would my resistance bands be considered weight training? Or should I incorporate them into my cardio and just use the dumbbells and kettle bell for weight training?
I am also not really sure how to set up my calories to lose fat with the right ratios for protein, carbs, fat. I know also know that 1 or two pounds a week is a healthy rate to lose weight.
I also have a problem of over thinking things.... So maybe I just need some help figuring out which muscle groups I should work together on which days. And when to do cardio... HA!
I appreciate any help you guys and ladies want to give. I am ready to go!
