starting from scratch.

starting from scratch.
I lost 75lbs last year and now want to continue to goal of another 25lbs. Plus getting very toned and tight (and a beautiful butt) I have some grasp of dieting but not while exercising. I am a pescatarian which means I eat seafood and eggs. I have no clue what kind of workout regimen to follow. Or what I need to have more or less of since I am also exercising. Any links or tips would.be amazing. Thanks so much
Re: starting from scratch.
Hi Kristina, good to hear from you.
If you're looking for something to do at home, you could try this. I post it sometimes for people.
As for the training you could do a schedule something like this, which is all bodyweighted.
Squats, 2 sets, 10 reps
Lunges, 2 sets, 10 reps
Good Mornings, 2 sets, 10 reps
Bent over Rows, 2 sets, 10 reps
Pull-ups, 2 sets, 10 reps
Shrugs, 2 sets, 10 reps
Planks 30 seconds.
In relation to the training ideas I gave you above, your bodyweight workouts and cardio schedule could look something like this.
Day 1. Bodyweight
Day 2. Cardio
Day 3. Bodyweight
Day 4. Day off
Day 5. Cardio
Day 6. Bodyweight
Day 7. Day off.
This prevents you doing 5 days straight and 2 days of nothing, as I think that's allowing too much consecutive taxation and 2 days of your body doing nothing, slowly starting to adjust to it, before 5 days of grind again, which might take the edge off progress potential, so the 5 split days should be better for you.
If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask us, or if you are rinking of training in a gym, the plan above can be refined as an example of what might be possible

i was going to formulate a post, but I think bossman hit it perfectly. try that program for a year and then recalibrate as needed.

Re: starting from scratch.
Congrats on getting back into your goal making and reaching, ksalv. I've found, for me, that always surprising body with different exercise regimes helps best. Typically, a mix of 15% cardio, 45% weight lifting and 40% yoga/pilates/sculpt. Although cardio works as a fat burner, I notice more results with weight lifting, like using dumb bells, doing weighted squats, machines and some body weight exercises like push ups. Plus, you'll burn more throughout the day and boost your metabolism with weight-lifting. Yoga and pilates are great stretches, and strength training for me as well. Plus, they improve mentality on everything.
Best of luck! I've got a few workouts on blog http://www.coffeewithkate.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
