With out paying for a professional trainer. Which is something i cannot afford at the moment. I need to know what i am doing is correct, and will give me results.

I've read a few of your posts about creating a calorie deficit, as well as browsed over the posts about weight training.

To be specific as possible, i need a series of exercises geared at burning fat.

Golds Gym has this 20 minute fit program, which is a series of machines that target specific muscle groups in the upper and lower body. which require you to do low weight high rep, then move on to the next one.

What muscle groups should i work on?
I want my knees, calfs, and legs to be a lot stronger then they are now.
How do i know when i have done enough for the day?


How long should i do "cardio" (is running on a treadmill or an elliptical my only option?) every day. How hard should i push my self? should i go for distance? Time? Speed?

I want to train every day. Right now i go to the gym and run on the treadmill for 30 minutes. When I say run, i have a 5 minute 2.5mph warm up, then i bump the speed up to 3.5 for another 5 minutes. and i switch it up like that for a total of 30 minutes. When i played football in HS, we were allways concerned about running the mile. So the only goal i have right now is to get how fast i can do the mile down as low as possible. Friday of last week i was at 24 minutes for a mile, last night i did it in 19:30.

My goal is to do Cardio every day of the week. Some days i have school and work and the gym isn't open so i play on walking. I want to do weight lifting for fat burning purposes, but I'm used to being told what i should do when it comes to fitness, i don't know where to start or how to develop something that is right for me. And i'd like to do weight training every day as well, or what ever is healthier because i know you need breaks from it.

My goal is weight loss, but its a change in life style i'm really looking for. I enjoy physical labor, and i get a mental high after i work out. I want to replace my current bad hobbies with a good one. Instead of playing world of warcraft from 6pm-1am i want to work out in the gym. Which eventually will allow me to go out and meet people that don't just sit around and play video games all day!

Any knowledge would be great Steve, thank you
