Well, I’m planning on starting a diet/workout routine, and I’ve heard that if you lift weights and build some muscle first, you burn calories faster and more efficiently. We have an elliptical, so I’ll be doing cardio on that, and I believe my mom has some of those little one arm weights hanging around somewhere. For someone who’s never done this sort of exercise, what weight should I start with, how should I do my workout, for how long, and how often? I’m 15 and about 40 lbs overweight for my height, and any advice is appreciated!

Tinkerbell asked:


In order to build muscle mass, do I first have to build muscle? I am very confused. I have been lifting weights for 2 months and I am toning up, but I want to bulk up my legs and hips. How? Repetitions/weights? What should I be eating? (Currently 1200-1400 calories daily) I don’t want my upper body any larger. Is this what you call weight distribution? A lot of questions, I know… Give me your best shot.
