So I landed a cool gig working a smoothie franchise that is inside a gym. One of the many perks is that I now have complete access to the facility for free. This is my predicament.
I am:
200 pounds
5 foot 8 inches
25 years old
My goal right now is 170 pounds. That is weight loss with building some muscle back. Nothing crazy, but healthy y'know? I can barely fit into my size 32 jeans and my gut looks rounder than a bowling ball. I carry alot if not all my excess weight on my stomach, love handles, and upper thighs (I got that booty right now). My legs are pretty good still thanks to seasonal outdoor sports making them beastly. My first day back on a leg press, I was doing just fine. As it sits right now I am doing a light cardio warm-up on a treadmill for about a half hour, then going into a light leg workout, bout 4 sets of 10-15 reps either on the leg press or leg lift machine, then the same set on an ab cruncher machine and swinging ab, the one you kneel on and swing from side to side. I have a bad left shoulder from a previous injury that never healed right but I can do fine as long as I am not trying to make grunting manly noises. But I am wary of working out my upper body because of it, I don't want to tear it again.
TL;DR I am fat and wanna get in shape.
What I am looking for is the correct nutrients I need and what would best benefit my body to make the goals? Also any other insight would be great.
