Hello all! I've lurked around the site for a few months now and i've finally got the time hit the gym more often. Background: I'm a 5'6ft 22 year-old female college student who currently weighs 261.8 lbs and after watching my weight slowly rise this past semester I've decided enough was enough. Main Quest: To lose weight and to be fit for a summer horticulture internship job that starts around May 20th 2013 Side Missions: Beginner Body Weight (3x)Cardio at the Gym (3x)Drink more waterMake my own meals for school instead of takeoutMy Gym has this thing where you can have two free sessions with a trainer and if you wish to continue then you'll discuss a payment option. I did my two session last thursday and Friday and although i don't have the money to afford the lessons (I get paid once a month via my school job), i'm glad that the trainer wrote a list of things that I could work on. I told her I wanted to lose weight and so she recommended that I do following when I go to the gym: 5-10 minute warm-up Weight Lift Cardio 30-45 minutesShe broke down weight lifting to three days and it goes like this: Day 1 Upper: Bicep CurlsTricep extensionLateral raisesPec. fly/ChestpressRear Delt machine RowLat. or fixed pulldownDay 2 Mid: Low Back/Back extensionTorso rotationAbdominalAb crunchLeg LiftsPlanks (Bent Knees hold for 20 seconds or less) Day 3 Lower: Hip AdductionGluteSeated LegLeg pressLeg extensionCalfCardio: 30-60 minutes1 hour classBuild intensity with intervals During our sessions we would mix different sections from different days so wasn't all just middle or upper arms. But a majority of these are based on machine and I was wondering if this was a good start. Thanks for reading and I can't to see what happens at the end of this challenge!
