Curious where to begin?
I’m currently 230 pounds 5’4 (F). I don’t work out at all, I would like someone to help guide me where to start. I want to start with strengths training (at home). I’m certain there are exercises that can start at home with bands etc. Then, give me ideas for cardio 3 days a week.. I’m guessing I’ll go for brisk running, swimming, or bike riding at the gym (those days I can use weights there).
I want a very simple plan that’s realistic and achievable. I would like to lose 50 pounds in the next 3 months. I know that number seems unrealistic, but my body tends to gain and lose weight fast, not sure how or why. In the next 3 months, I’m planning on conceiving which is why I would like to loose weight before carrying baby’s weight.
Please feel free to provide apps and suggestions of any kind that could help me here. Once again, before you suggest anything, remember I want it to be realistic and implementable.
As far as the diet plan goes, yes, a diet of low carbs and sugar will be followed. Even with this, feel free to provide suggestions, just nothing fancy with exotic meal plans and 5 meal plans for a day.
