Ok so I should ditch P90X for weights at a gym?
This is an honest question (cause I thought p90x was heavy lifting haha frig): Is it better to use the machines at the gym for weights then and go as heavy as possible?
I thought it was better to use free weights? I have 10lbs at home and for biceps and triceps, 3 sets of 8-10 reps has me struggling to finish. Same with normal push ups.
I personally think you would benefit from doing p90x since you are kinda new to weight lifting...
How do you become un-new to weight lifting? Gotta start somewhere.
that's why I was saying p90x could be a good start for her. I myself learned a lot from doing it at the beginning.0 -
At your age if your skin is a little loose it will tighten up over the next few months, so it's not a worry.
Another vote for weight-lifting to address your OP.0 -

Does px90 have a barbell routine? If not...I'm not sure how that would be applicable to a barbell routine and learning form with a barbell0 -

But thanks everyone. I'm looking into strong lifts and I like it. I'm going to finish up with p90x because I'm moving in about a month. When I get into my new city I'm going to start going to my university gym and get acquainted with a barbell and bench press ha0 -
Eat more not less (maintenance at least). You want fat loss, not weight loss.
It doesn't sound like you can handle a 30-45 lb bar (for a compound lift program) so P90X is fine for now IMO. But get some 12's and 15's ... work your way into the 6-8 rep range as you progress through the round.0 -
Going the wrong direction in terms of calories. Probably do you more good to bump your calories up to 2000 and pick up a barbell.0

Oh yeah, I agree that you should eat at maintenance. Not less. I am 36, I am at your height/weight range, and I eat around 2000 a day. I'm active and I lift weights. Technically, you could eat more than me because you are younger.
My calories are set at 1900, but I go over. I used fat2fit to calculate calories. http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/bmr/0 -

This is exactly what I'm planning on doing!
Work my way to 15's in p90x and eat more and eventually lift even heavier at a gym0
