Hi everyone,
I just joined the group because I desperately need to get serious
about fat-loss and muscle growth.
My goals are primarily to lose fat, and the muscle growth is a
secondary target. I've been restricting my diet to about 1400 cal daily
split up into 3 meals and 2 snacks, and cardio 5 days a week, weight 4.
I do 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer before my weight training. I
am doing high intensity cardio, and have thus seen no effect on my
fatigue during my weight sessions, but I was wondering if my cardio
sessions before my weight session would hinder the "after-burn" effect
of the weight training. Since aerobic activity and anaerobic activity
use nutrients in different ways, could this affect the efficacy of
either session?
Thanks,
Ryan
P.S.
I was also wondering if anyone could suggest some good books to look
into, I recently ordered the Men's Health Book of Muscle, but was
wondering if there was anything else out there that would be helpful to
me as a COMPLETE beginner.
