I need help fast too. I am at the extreme. I am 26 years old and I weigh 187 lbs. I started working out at the RDV Sportsplex and eating right about over a week ago. I was 191 lbs. when I started. Here is my workout schedule:
Monday -- 1hr boot camp
Tuesday -- 1hr yoga and 1hr step
Wednesday -- 1hr spinning
Thursday -- 1hr dance cardio and 1hr boxing
Friday -- 1hr spinning and 1hr swimming
Saturday -- 1hr power pump
I am trying to lose weight. I eat really healthy. Here is my meal plan:
breakfast -- great measure cereal with nonfat milk or eggs and wheat toast
snack -- banana or yogurt
lunch -- veggie wrap or veggie hotdog with wheat bread or wrap
snack -- carrots or a big apple
dinner -- differs but usually under 600cals
I usually get about 1200-1300cals a day. In the first 3 days, I went down to 185lbs, and since then I either maintain and increase. I see alot of people talking about undereating and overexercising. I feel I may fit that category.
Could you answer a few questions for me?
I am 26yrs old, 5'7, and 187lbs. How many calories should I get a day? Should I incorporate a protein shake into my diet because I am vegetarian? If so, what do you recommend? Should I take any supplements? If so, which do you recommend?
What type of exercise program should I be in? Should I get a personal trainer? Most of my exercise is group because that is where I feel most motivated?
I want to schedule to meet with my doctor to have some test done? Which should I ask for?
Thanks,
