ft workout program

AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/05, 01:43 PM I need some advise on the workout programs on this website. I am currently doing the weight loss & definition program at the "beginner" level. I have been doing this for about a month now. I am not a beginner when it comes to weights as I have played football all my life but the reason I chose the beginner level is because I have not lifted weights consistantly for over 2 years and I was kind of starting from scratch again. I have about 15-20 lbs of fat to lose and I want to start toning and building muscle. My question is, is the weightloss & definition program right for my goals? AND, should I be at the beginner level or the intermediate level? I really don't feel like I am doing enough exercises at the beginner level. any help is appreciated. :big_smile:

You stated you haven't trained in quite some time, so yes, start as a beginner at least for the 1'st couple of programs. Good luck. -------------- A little discipline at the table and at the gym might help reduce that belly! Ivan Montreal Canada (City of Festivals)

I have been doing this program for about a month or so....so when should I step up to the next level and start doing more exercises???

I would do the 12 weeks, take a week off and start over at the next level. -------------- A little discipline at the table and at the gym might help reduce that belly!
