Getting les fat percentage

Well I am female and probably can't help you get ripped but from losing weight I have also lost muscle mass and also trying to lower my body fat %. I will probably start insanity after finals end next month. Feel free to add

Hi buddy, I'm in exactly the same boat. Looking to get ripped. I'm currently a bit fat, so I've got a long way to go. I'm taking the 'long-way-around' approach of getting fit first and then worrying about body image largely because the sun has finally started to shine in the UK and I loev running outdoors!

I suggest you go here:

You can indicate that your goal is to lose fat and build muscle. It will provide you with an estimate of calories.

Good luck!

Good luck!

I am on the "lower body fat percentage" journey. But not with cardio. Not sure if that will make it a longer journey for me.

Lift weights or get P90X to do as well as Insanity. You need to burn the fat off your muscles as well as building the muscles to achieve definition. Insanity alone will burn fat but not really build muscles the way lifting weights will.

I don't see how you can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. One requires you to eat less calories then your body uses, the other requires you to eat more calories then your body uses. I know 'burning fat and building muscle' is often a phrase used in advertising these programs, but if you asked shawn T or Tony if thats really possible i think they'd tell you 'no'.

I'd agree that p90x is better at leaving muslce on you as you burn fat. Insanity is good at indescrimenantly dropping mass off your body.

Anyone remember Lori from month 2 of Insanity? he is maybe a little soft but like a mountain of muslce. Have you ever done Asylum Vol. 1? I he's in that if you didn't realize it lol. i wouldn't have recognized him if it wasn't for the giant egale tattoo on his back. he is at least 1/3 smaller then before and he definetly did NOT have that much fat to loose.

I am also trying to lose bf. Just started day 1 of the p90x lean. Add me if you would lik. All friends are welcomed. I am not good with advice as I am new to all of this but I can pass out high fives of encouragement.

the that is logged for monday, today, is that a typical day for you? if so, the protein is very low.
To keep the muscle you have:

1. eat 1g of protein for each pound of lean body mass, or since you're in the healthy range, 1g for your body weight.

2. Lift
lifting will tell your muscles that they aren't going anywhere, by combining protein and lifting, you can retain the muscle you already have. Optimally, this would be low reps 8-10 reps, and 2 or 3 sets. focusing on the compound exercises.

3.Small deficit. based on your TDEE numbers you'll need to subtract a small percentage from the TDEE, such as TDEE-10%.

lots of rest, water. make sure you're resting your muscles. How much cardio you want to do, need to do varies,
but many trainers and people who know much more than me say cardio is not required when you are lifting heavy.
there are benefits to it: it improves circulation helping with DOMS(delayed onset soreness) and recovery,
helps to create a calorie deficit. but if you are lifting heavy, doing more than 2 days of intense cardio a week,
you'll likely be too tired to do your best during your lifting session.

Also, although i'm nt able to understand everything n the diary, since I only speak English, but it looks like you're low on healthy fats, but that may be just for today.

if you like, i could post a more detailed strength routine, Ive already lost inches doing it, and thousands of people have had great results losing fat or recomposition their body..
