I am 29 year old male. My weight is 187 pounds and 36 inch body waist. I started my exercise routine 17 days ago and I have been able to loose 3 pounds. My current body fat percentage is 21% and my goal is both to loose fat and decrease this percentage to 9-11% and build moderate good quality muscle and abs. Take the example of Tom welling. Not like professional body builders
First I started my workout by walking/jogging for 45 minutes each day and working out on dumbells and machines for 45 minutes. I felt after a point that I was overexerting myself. But now I have started to walk/jogg for 20 to 30 minutes each day and working more on strength training after researching on the internet. I am exercising for 6 days a week and giving a day for rest.
I want to know how to schedule my workout? How should I schedule my upper and lower body workouts within a week? Should I include cardio training everyday or only on select days in a week.
I have also greatly decreased the amount of calories I intake during the day. I drink lot of water, milk. I eat foods less in chalestrol and try to eat more vegetables and fruits. How much should my diet be lose fat and gain moderate and good quality muscle?
Realistically if I follow a good exercise routine how much time it might take for me to lose fat and gain quality muscle
Thanks in Advance.
