Not sure where to start first

charlier Posts: 2 Joined: 2008/10/29	2008/11/02, 10:09 PM Okay so I have a mix of goals. 1.) Get my weight down - 185-190lbs 2.) Tone up / build muscle So my real question comes down to where to start first? Do I just go trying to build muscle with the expectation that I will start to lean out from that? Or do I cut the weight then work on building muscle? I'm not trying to be body builder like I just want to get evened out / looking good. Any advice? Thanks, -------------- -- charlie -- I know enough to be dangerous.

I think hardest thing to do is not go crazy and do everything at once, BUT do start a exercise plan! -------------- FOR MY WIFE: Her little ring was a little thing but it was all that i could afford now shes mine all mine till the day i die and i never wanted nothing more 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
