My plan is to wake up early and get it done before everyone else wakes up. I find I simply don't have the energy or drive in the evening.</p> <p>What I've heard repeatedly is that you want a nice mix of cardio and strength in the same workout. I have never been to a gym so I'm not sure what to suggest there. Good luck :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-a-workout-regimen#post-1443810 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:08:10 +0000 babycanuck 1443810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: Thanks!! What's mfp? I put on the weight in the last two years due to stress (according to my doctor). </p> <p>ETA: I just googled it - MyFitnessPal...I would love to do it, I know I'm REALLY BAD with what I eat, and I'm a super picky eater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-a-workout-regimen#post-1443666 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 11:00:51 +0000 NurseMommy 1443666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Cardio is good for burning fat, but muscle burns more calories than fat, so it's not a bad idea to start weight training early.<br /> 2. The best time to work out is when you'll do it.<br /> 3. Try getting a heart rate monitor. Some people sweat more than others. A hrm will help you see where you should be.</p> <p>Are you on mfp? I also have ~60 to lose and would love an accountability partner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-a-workout-regimen#post-1443654 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 10:53:06 +0000 babycanuck 1443654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need some help/advice</p> <p>So in two weeks I'm starting work from home and I got a gym membership. I found it hard to go in the past because I was commuting a LOT.</p> <p>1. I've never been good with dieting/exercising/etc. Do I start with a lot of cardio and then work in weights at a later date?</p> <p>2. Am I better off getting up early and doing a workout before I start working or after?</p> <p>3. This is totally weird...but I find I sweat, but I guess not as much as I think I'm supposed to? I want to push myself, not hurt myself, but definitely get going.</p> <p>My main goal, besides my health, is to lose some weight. I know it won't happen fast, but that has been the tough sport for me in the past. I've gone to the gym and not seen results then given up. I have 60 lbs I need to lose. </p>
