Fitness plan help, please?!
Question: i just joined Goodlife fitness center(in canada) and i just went for my first time today.
im 15. and im going to try to eat healthy, and me and my mom go there 2-3 times a week for about 2 hours(sometimes more)
I plan on going to the tredmill(fast walking) for 30 minutes, the recumbent bike for 30 minutes and the Elliptical Trainer for also 30 minutes.
i'm 160 pounds and 5'6. I want to get toner and tighter before summer, do you think this will work? how much weight do you think i will weigh before summer?
For some reason, i want to push myself to the limit, i want to lose weight NOW, i always try to over exercise.
thanks for your help!

Hi there,
What ever you do, "DO NOT PUSH YOURSELF TO THE LIMIT."
And I will tell you the reasons why.
1. People you do too much-to fast either burn out after a few weeks and stop. 2. You can cause injury to yourself.
3. Instead of losing fat- you will be breaking down muscle--losing muscle and gaining fat.
What you want to do is start out slow and study and then build on that. Also, you what to add weight training along with your Cardio (walking, biking...etc.)
For example: The first day you should try riding the bike for 30 to 45 minutes. You should not exercise to the point that you are out of breath- you should stay aerobic (being able to breathe comfortably while riding).
The next day you should use the weight machines to build muscle. Start with 5 pounds and work your way up slowly!
Muscle burns fat! Building muscles will burn more fat!
Cardio helps with your endurance and burns fat.
You need both.
As far as eating. Don
