gain msucle lose fat

scuffymajorca Posts: 20 Joined: 2003/02/25	2004/02/21, 07:52 AM i am still a thin guy but have made some nice gains over the last year but over the christmas period i went for 3 months without working out and i ate and drank too much and put on a bit of fat. i have started to really get back into weights/exercise and want to know if i can put on muscle and lose a little bit of fat. i work out with weights 3 times a week and go for a 30 minute run on my days off or play tennis(except sundays) so is this possible or is it much more realistic to bulk up and then lose the fat later?

How many pounds are you? How old are you?? Give us some more info so we can help you better. I don't think that you can put on muscle and lose fat- but if you can prove me wrong someone!!!! Good luck and welocme to the site scuffymajorca:dumbbell::):big_smile::dumbbell:

There's a program specifically for it here.. resistance training to build muscle combined with cardio and nutrition to lose fat. Build a workout that includes weight training 3-4 days a week, and cardio daily (maybe step it up to High Intensity Interval Training on your off days), and track everything you eat.. pay attention to when you eat what so that you are feeding your muscles and burning the fat. Plenty of threads here that go into that, do a few searches and you'll find all the answers you need here. good luck! -------------- : ] ~ Danielle Firm Butt Thin Thighs Flat Abs - repeat this mantra as needed whenever an unhealthy urge arises.
