Hi everyone - first post by me
I am way way way overweight - I'm 5'7 and 330lbs. I'm 33 yrs old and it's time to turn my life around.
After 15 years of no exercise of any kind, i have just started doing daily cardio (bike) for half an hour in the morning, and doing some weights 4 days a week.
I have only being doing this for two weeks and while its hard, I am highly motivated.
But I am very confused and need help. I know two personal trainers who are giving me conflicting advice.
One trainer says do high reps (15-25) with light weights.
Other trainer says thats crap, and do low reps (8-12) with higher weights because creating muscle improves metabalism for overweight people.
So - which should I do???
1. high reps low weights; or
2. low reps (8-12) heavier weights
Plus any reasons/advice would be great.
