Make sure when you're working with weights that you get in 1 g of protein per lb of bodyweight. Any specific questions, just ask! Good luck!

Start as Lumina has suggested and once you are into a program and have questions fire away. Good luck. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new.

Any activity that brings our heart rate up is known as cardio, running, jogging, stationary bike stepper, swimming, treadmills, etc.For protien, you can get that from tofu, lentills, certain beans, soy products, there is a protien powder that is strictly soy. Hope this helps. Good Luck. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P. Jones Ivan Montreal Canada
