Question about fitness product

no shit, i do that ab roller. It seems to burn. I probably haven't given it a chance. But, i bought a duel action bike. Ya know, the ones that move your arms and legs. Did 30 minutes of it at about 30 mph and about half of it's full resistance. I'm dripping with sweat (not trying to turn on fred or clt) and haven't sweat this much since my high school soccer games. Been doing 30 minutes twice a day. Play soccer on wed nites and have been eating mostly grilled chicken with marinade for dinner and turkey sandwiches with no condoments, no lettuce, just bread and turkey for lunch. Rice krispies and banana for breakfast with apple juice. And i only drink tea or water with dinner and lunch. So, i'd imagine i'll drop some decent weight. Damn, it's so easy to put on weight. I blew out my knee didn't get it operated on for 6 months, and had another 6 months of doing nothing. Gained 50 lbs in that time. Granted, i'm 5'9" and weighed 140 then. I'm looking to get at a toned 160. thanks for your help you guys. Any other suggestions will be gladly taken.

 

I'll make a suggestion on your diet.

Cut down on carbs...have the lettuce and lose the bread...ditch the rice crispies and have eggs instead. What you want to do is limit your carbs to under 80 per day while keeping your protein high to maintain muscle. A big mistake people make is starving themselves which causes the body to break down muscle for energy instead of fat...I posted above why muscle is important. Have 80% plus of those carbs in meals prior to dinner, your dinner should be the fewest number of carbs of any meal you eat. Don't get caught up in counting calories, count carbs and protein. Take in 1.25 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily. Try to get some protein every three hours during the day...this will also help prevent muscle breakdown.

I'm a fitness and nutrition enthusiast...been so for over 10 years now. I've seen people make mistakes and have made my fair share.

I would also suggest that you sign up at a gym. If you think that little roller ball burns your abs, wait till you see what modern equipment at the gym can do. You'll have access to more and better equipment which will lead to variety...which will help you not become bored. 90% of people who buy a treamill (for example) have themselves a very expensive clothes rack in a few months after they get bored with it.

I personally recommend either a metro membership at the Y or the equivalent at Golds because you can work out at different locations. Changing scenery every now and then will also help you not become bored. I have a metro Y and work out at the Uptown, Dowd, Gateway, and Harris branches. I also have a Bally's membership...Bally's has better equipment and better hours than the Y's.
