Not sure if this is the right place to post but some long answers and advice would be very much appreciated.
Well for starters i'm 17 year old high school student who wants to basically tone up.I have a lot of questions but I don't know how exactly I should order them so here it goes:
(Some information that I gathered about myself
Weight:63kg
Height:5'8
BMI: 20.9
BMR: 2686 Kcal
I have no clue what my body fat % is as of right now.I have gotten readings in the past from the handheld devices and they've ranged from 15-19% on two seperate occasions. Which is the best and most accurate way to get a accurate reading of body fat?
In terms of how fast I want to get my goal accomplished I want to get to my goal of 10% or less body fat and a toned body( not bulky but cut) by the end of August of 2008(~6 months). Is this feasible and realistic?
Prior to this I've had been a moderately active person.And I've always been healthy.
I've laid out a workout based on information I've gathered on this site and other websites(and feel free to say anything here):
Monday:
-30 minute strength training
-than 30 minute cardio training
Tuesday:
-45 minute cardio training
Wednesday:
-30 minute strength training
-than 30 minute cardio traning
Thursday:
-45 minute cardio training
Friday:
-30 minute strength training
-than 30 minute cardio training
Saturday:
-45 minute cardio training
Sunday:
-30 minute strength training
-30 minute cardio training
Some specifics:
-Yes I am a busy person and school has a lot to do with why I'm limiting my workout secessions each day to 45-60min.
-I plan on riding the stationary bike as my main cardio workout.Is this alright?Should I alternate with the treadmill or any other machine?
-I want my strength training to be focused on getting some nice abs.So is their a specific strength training workout I should follow?
Now on to nutrition:
-This is where I'm very lost.I have been reading the information in the Nutrition section of this forum but I need some direct assistance. Basically how I should split my meals and what are the foods I should eat.What should a good breakfast meal consist of? Part of the reason why I think if anything hinders my plan in accomplishing my goal is nutrition because my mother has for so long spoiled me with alot of junk food and it's hard to give it up so any experience or advice concerning this would be appreciated.
-Should I take vitamin and protein supplements?
Sorry that this was long but again thanks advance for your replies.
