Carbs & Protein - Strength Excercise & Cardio

foodfight247

Right - 4'11" - frame 30,25,30 if I've measured correctly.

Diary telling me need to double carbs & protein. Set my goals with no excercise. I've been advised to do a strength training with minimal cardio....

Any tips or advice and could someone breakdown what they would regard as strength training & cardio.

Cheers

Trying to put the weight on.

I'm unsure about specifications for weight gain, but I've heard many bodybuilders will limit their cardio to 20 minutes per day. You could weight 5 days a week by doing body part splits, but 3x a week full body is good as well.

Also, I'd consider weight training/calisthenics as strength training. Many group classes that incorporate weights tend to be more aerobics/cardio than actual strength training. Assuming you don't have any medical reasons such as spinal issues, you'd want to do low rep/high weight sets as opposed to high volume training.

Just looking into putting a routine together now.

Thank you for responding.
