Here is the story:
I am 5'9" - 23 and getting fatter by the year. At 18-20 I probably weighed in at 155 lbs - basically super skinny. I haven't been active lately and now I am up to 180, and I am storing it all in my gut. My arms/legs are just as scrawny as always.
I want to bulk up and gain muscle, but also get rid of my gut, which is just about the only place that is storing my extra 30 lbs.
I recently (this week) rejoined my gym, and started working out and exercising again, and have been putting efforts towards more intelligent eating habits, HOWEVER - I have no freaking idea what I am doing.
I don't know the proper foods to eat (other than the glaringly obvious steer clear of pizza / donuts), or when, and I don't know the proper type of workout to do, and which days I should do which types of routine.
If I can provide more info to make it easier to provide solutions I am happy to provide. But basically I am just looking for some guidance on where to start. I am so new to excercise as a whole, and so I am totally lost on which type would benefit me the most for my goal (building muscle and ditching the gut).
Advice? I would appreciate it very much!
Bear with me though, I probably won't understand half the things you suggest!
Thanks,
Chris
