I'm 5'6 and 140lbs and I want to loose 20lbs. Basically loose the weight that I gained. I don't want to go on stupid diets and starve myself. I actually like to work it out and keep at it.

I want to start off working out 3 days a week. Can someone please give me a direction to what exercises will be good for me to start of? And also what kind of stretches and for how long before i start to work out. I don't wnat to injure myself.

I posted it on the beginner but I don't know where it went.

THANKS :-)

You may want to fill in your profile, give us a litte more to work with here. I'd start out with the exercise program that FT gives you, along with the nutrition program minus a few carbs.

If you're trying to lose weight (As am I) you're going to want to cut about 400 calories from the FT diet and keep your cardio up. 3 X 30 minutes a week isn't a bad start.

For stretching, I've always been told (if I'm wrong, someone please correct me) to hold each stretch for about 8 seconds. If you're going to a gym, they should have posters with a bunch of good stretches to try, at least mine does.

I'm not overly knowledgeable, but I'm just starting out too, so I'm just telling you what I've learned.
