Important Question

Dyez Posts: 2 Joined: 2004/09/13	2004/09/14, 07:44 PM Ok I'm going to start working out and I'm a kickboxer so I need advice about my diet and exercise plan. I plan on working out around 5 times a week and I plan on doing a lot of cardio (running,swimming, etc). I also plan on weightlifting. Ok heres the question: What kind of diet should I have? Like how many carlios, protein, etc? Also should I focus on weightlifting or cardio more? Another question I would like to know is: Is it bad for my muscles if I work out 5 times a week? Thanks

As for diet... fill out your profile and follow the nutritional guidelines on this site... everybody is different so the question can't really be answered specifically for you..
