i am brand new here...but i already found this site extremely helpful.

im a 20 yr old male...im about 6 foot 2, 220 lbs (i have already lost 35 lbs.) im looking to get down to 190. i was wondering what i should do to get rid of fat and gain muscle definition.

i currently walk everyday for 30 mins at about 4 mph. i jog a few times a week for 10-15 mins or so (my stamina is not great.). i do weights 3-5 times a week...with low weight and high reps.

im doing great, but i was wondering what i could do to be more effiecient with my workouts so that i can get the results i am after. i want to lose alot of fat in my chest and waist. thk u for the help!

ok some peopel will say high reps/low weight will just decrease muscle mass, the best thing for burning fat is running/ jogging maybe 3 times a week and a good healthy diet, you cant lose fat in a specific area also mate

i know i cant specifically lose weight...just keeping you all informed...lol

is there any weights sets/reps that would be beneficial for someone with my needs? i do enjoy lifting...and i want to keep that in my routine.

i also eat extremely healthy which along with walking has allowed me to lose the weight i have lost.

deadlifts
squats
