Fastest way to look good and cut fat.  These are the closest things to a shortcut you will ever find:

Throw away your scale.

Only use a tape measure.

Throw away your watch.

Only use your breathing rate.

Intensity with cardio and weights is the key.

Weights should be 3 sets, each set should be NO MORE than 8 reps.  Your form must be perfect and at the end of the third set, you should be in muscle failure.  Very little to no rest between sets and exercises.  You should be close to being out of breath constantly.

Cardio should be the same way.  Intensity.  Only run if your knees allow.  Go as fast as you can for 5 minutes.  NO MORE.  Then walk as long as you must until you catch your breath, then do it again.  4 sets but only 3 reps.  Very little to no rest between sets.  Again, you should be out of breath at the end of your rep and begin the next as soon as possible.

Before you exercise:

3 hours before - Take a multivitamin, a separate B complex, Omega 3, and CLA.  Drink lots of water.

1 hour before - Ingest your creatine and protein drink.  Also take two aspirin.

15 minutes before - drink coffee with no sugar or cream

After you exercise:

Take a multivitamin, a separate B complex, Omega 3, and CLA.  Drink lots of water.

Rotate days.  One day should be cardio.  One day should be weights.

DO SQUATS EACH AND EVERY DAY.  With or without weights.  On days you do weights or cardio, do the squats at the end of your session and do as many as you can as fast as you can until your legs shake a bit.  Even if you quit going to the gym, you can do squats each and every day, multiple times per day.  You can do them anywhere.  I cannot stress this enough.  This is your biggest weapon to being fit and weight loss.

Original Message I used to be very active and in my younger days ... got into a rut, ate unhealthy, drank lots of beer and got fat ... when I started gym a few weeks ago, I weighed 103,5 kg

started gym 4 weeks ago, eat 3 meals per day, and started doing 10 minutes of rowing (on level 6), 10 minutes of cycling (level 10 @ 90RPM minimum),10 minutes of stepping/ski machine at level 10 at 11-12 km/hr, 10 minutes of treadmill (9 km/hr), and weight circuits (the machines ... light weights and 2 reps of 10 on each machine ... I only work out on the machines for upper body strength i.e. I do not do work out on the machines that work the leg muscles)

I go to gym 5 times per week (monday to friday), and every week I have increased the cardio machines by 1 minute (I am now on 14 minutes per machine, and feel a lot more healthier than a month ago)

I eat healthy (breakfast consists of cooked porridge, lunch is a snack such as a health bar and banana, dinner is healthy such as a small piece of fish or tuna/meat, with lots of veg)... I also drink approx 2 litres of bottled water per day (Evian)

I have lost 2 kg over the past month, and am getting fitter/more endurance ... I weigh myself once a week, and last week I never lost any weight ... this week I never lost any weight?

what am I doing wrong?

a few years back, when I started gym, I followed the same routine, and lost more than 1kg per week for 10 weeks, then it was a bit slower to loose weight
