Hi I'm new to this site thanks for all the advice that I have read so far. I am over weight too in my early 40's, feeling very low and depressed so here I go I will start on 1st Sept 2014 and keep you posted once a week every Sunday Evening.

Cardio 4x/week, with strength training 5x/week is probably a good starting point. Avoid focusing only on one area such as the abs because weight loss will not be as effective, this is where cardio comes into play. Running or swimming will shed fat all over and will boost metabolism (further attacking fat), while strength training for the midsection, upper and lower body will tone muscles. Don't forget to eat healthy - whole grain bread/rice/noodles, lots of fruit and veggies, along with lots of water to stay hydrated.

Hi, I'm a PT & can give you professional advice. Doing exercise to just get a flat tummy in min time is virtually impossible-here's why-You can't spot reduce a certain area with targeted exercises & it takes a fair amount of time n effort to get good results. Now, here's the good news! You can have the bod you want, if you eat really well, to burn off some body fat & also take up a whole body weight training program to build up lean muscle mass, so it shows through once the body fat starts to strip off. Think of it as diet strips the fat & exercise builds the muscle. I recommend hiring a PT that's experienced with building bodies to have you onto a minimum 12week full body program, to have you seeing real results. Michael Matthews books are very informative, I recommend getting one (can download as an Ebook) & reading up. Good luck
