Newbie FIRST POST!

LOL!!! You might just want to get use to doing a couple of things a day until you learn everything. That's a pretty heavy load for a newbie!

I would start looking up exercises for back, arms, legs, abs, calves, glutes chest & shoulders - on the internet. Learn what they are, write down the ones you CAN do at home and then start from there.

I thought the same thing "OMG what the heck did I get myself into" No but really I am serious as a heart attack about this and want to do the right things! Being a COMPLETE amateur I want to do what is beneficial! What about all the supplements? You think I should start any of those?

Supplements - you already have Hydroxycuts - this is fine. If you've never used a thermogenic before, try one w/ food in the morning. If you drink coffee, I'd probably suggest you don't. See how it makes you feel - if you get a headache or feel shaky or sick from it, I'd probably hold off on it for awhile. The biggest thing OTC thermos do for me is just give that extra kick for am cardio or training at nite. If you train at night and you are ok w/ the trial run just to see how you react to it, see if you have enough energy for whenever you train. OTherwise if you need a kick for nite training, take a thermo some time before 3 pm - no later - or it may affect your ability to fall asleep (and that sucks - as sleeping is just as critical as training to get results -- sleeping = your recovery time).

Yohimburn ES - this is a topical fat burner - also something you can wait on but its pretty cool stuff - nothing else on the market like it. Not a miracle cream or anything, but when you get to lower bodyfat, does help.

R-ala - A good brand is Glucorell from AF Store -- helps your body optimize use of the complex carbs you eat when you eat them.

A good multivitamin. This just a good component of a balanced diet. I actually use prenatal vitamins -- its just a supercharged vitamin.

Hey, there! Welcome!

I think there is still some confusion, here. (Or maybe it's just me.) What equipment do you have available? Let us know about that, and then we can help some more with an actual program.

 

[iceprincess]

Welcome!! Look forward to your posts!! There is a TON to learn out there - so jump on and enjoy the ride!!

Nelms, she has equipment at home and some free weights.

I would still suggest this for you so that you don't feel on overload from the very beginning:

2 muscle groups per day 2 exercises per muscle, 10-12 reps per set. Four days on, one day off. to start after you get started, you can revise the program to better meet your needs if you need to.

...and drop your cardio down to no more than 5x a week.

First of all, thank you so much to EVERYONE for the great advice and help!

I think with the suggestion of SG and DG I am going to due a more "less" involved routine so that I don't feel so overhwelmed...

How's this (with the helpful PM of DG)

Chest - Chest Press, Pushups
Back - Lat Pulldown, DB Row
Shoulders - Overhead Press, DB Lat Raise
Biceps - Curls
Tris - DB Kickbacks, Dips
Legs- DB Squats, Lunges

Do all these 3sets - 10 to 15 reps
3x a week alternate MWF, TuThSat
Do cardio 5x a week 1/2 hr a pop and on the weight days do it after the weights...

Sound good?

I think it's a great place to start ...

So I'm clear ...
- Full Body workout 3 X a week
- approx 2 exercises per body part ( I saw one on Bi's) for 3 sets each
- 10 - 15 reps (focusing on good form ) ?
- 30 minutes Cardio Post workout on Weight Training days
- Two additional days Cardio
- Clean diet 6 days with One cheat meal on 7th (or best suitable)for Sanity ?

Good Luck
