Hello,
I have started at our local Gym and been doing 3 days weights 3 days cardio for 3 weeks (6 days a week)

Weights are 2 Sets, 12 - 15 Reps, about 10 Machines
Cardio 45 min on Bikes, X-Trainer, Rower etc

I am 120kgs and have to much fat, I also have muscle so I'm not Really Fat

My Question is, Over the last 3 weeks I have been eating more healthy, and working out heaps but have only lost 1.5kgs..

Do you think I have gained Muscle thats why the scales don't show more of a loss?

I have read on this Forum that is hard to gain Muscle and lose fat at the same time, would you reccomend that I just do 6 days cardio until I get to a lower fat %

Thanks for any Advise

Rhys :-)

Weight loss just doesn't come over night, it takes time. Well yes and no, FAT LOSS takes time. I think loosing 1.5 kgs is great already.

Stop looking at the scale and start looking at yourself in the mirror. Muscles weight a lot more than fat but you'll get leaner.

Please fill in your profile so we'll know a little bit more about you and can give you better answers as well.
