Hi everybody, I want to build good, solid muscle while also shedding the excess fat. I have started going to a gym, yet I am unsure of the intensity of my weight-training programme, along with how often I should be doing it. I have heard everything from three times a week with a day's rest in between, or everyday weight training only on alternating body parts. I am in favour iof the last option, as currently I don't feel all that sore after my weights/toning days. As far as diet goes, I have tried eating between 1700-2500 calories, yet have gained a few kgs of pure fat around my legs and stomach, as my metabolism seems to be a tad slow at the moment due to low muscle mass at present. Apart from the weight training, does anyone know how I can boost it up, keep it revved? I would really appreciate it if someone could please give me some advice on training (i.e. intensity, duration, frequency) as well as diet in terms of muscle building and metabolism-fueling. I am very serious about getting my body, health and fitness on track, so any help you guys could give me would be great, thanks. Cheers!
