Suggested Workout Regimen?!
Question: I am looking for a good workout regimen that will help me loose weight and build muscle. Time for workouts isn't much of an issue and this would be a 6 days per week workout schedule. I will admit that I am a little overweight, but I would love to loose 20+ pounds for summer along with building muscle to compliment the weight loss.
I have already begun to try to eat healthy, most notably not drinking soda drinks and trying to cut down on sweets. Still trying to get me to eat more salads, etc.
In the workout regimen, I would much appreciate it if someone could tell me how many sets and reps I need to do for each workout. I used to do conditioning for baseball back in the day, and the workout we did then was very good and I am hoping I can get the same kind of workout.
Thanks!

If you don't have a partner or spotter, you can use machines instead, but I highly recomend using free weights whenever possible.

u can not replace fat with muscles. this is an urban legend for fat lazy people. u can either get rid of fat or build muscles. cos u re overweight i strongly suggest u stay out of gym unless u lose at least half of this fat of yours. u may do whatever cardio u choose - runnung, jogging, aerobics. when u lose weight u start eating another kind of food and work out in gym - u will stop losing weight when u start working in gym. now if u start working out u will gain probably some muscles under all this fat of yours but nobody will be able to see it and u will never lose any fat in gym. so now concentrate on cardio.
I came across this great product for weight loss (all nautral) and it was excellent for me (it's a detox colon cleanse). Together with a good diet and exercise I am finally happy with my body and the way I look. You should check this product at
