What is the best weight lifting regimine to get skinnier?

Posted by admin on September 29th, 2009 and filed under weight lifting | 3 Comments »

I’m a mid-twenties woman and just getting back into excersizing cause I am really fat. I need to lose about 30 lbs and tone all over, but I don’t know how to do it. I want to try weight lifting, but I have never done it before, and I have a lot of questions:

Is it better to do many reps with low weights or a few reps with heavy weights?
I usually jog a couple miles 3 or 4 times a week. Should I do this before or after lifting?
Do I need to warm up or stretch before I start lifting?
How many times a week should I go to the gym?

I am completely lost. Any advice will help!

I would suggest hiring a personal trainer.

You may want to start with low weights and high reps and as your body and muscles become accustomed to the work out, you can increase the weight and obviously will do less reps.

It’s great that you already jog on a regular basis. You can do the weights before or after cardio, maybe even alternate.

Good luck : )
