I have been getting into shape this year and have made good progress this year, I have lost almost 25kg(55lbs), thanks to my doctor, sports physio, and gym trainers.
My GP and sports physio said the best way to loose weight is to diet and reduce caloric intake.
They also devised a workout plan for me for toning and fat burning.
I start with 20 minutes on an exercise bike to get the heart rate up and kick the metabolism working. You need to get your heart rate up to about 70-80% of its maximum.
Next I do a resistance routine: 35kg pull downs, 30kg seated rows, 40kg seated press, and 25kgcable straight arm pull downs, 3 sets of 20 for each exercise.
Then I do 3x20 step knee raises with a 7kg bicep curl, 3x10 weighted squats, 3x20 walking lunges.
After that is ground work; 3x40 table top touches, 3x20 mountain climbers, And finish with 3 sets of bridging.
I do that 3 times a week.
Good luck with your weight loss and transition.
Hugs,
Sarah
