Hi guys I'm 28 years old 6 foot 2 and weigh 220 pounds
I have never worked out and always eat the wrong stuff! I'm happy with my weight and build as I'm broad, but not happy at the way I look! I want to turn my fat into muscle over a period of 6 months if possible. I'm a member at my local gym. Where do I start ???? Any constructive feedback will be greatly appreciated!

    Weight training is definitely the best option for turning fat into muscle, cardio is a preference. Especially if you train hard and lift heavy. As a beginner, I would incorporate some cardio sessions into the workout, but lifting is the way to go. But nutrition is important too, as I'm sure you know. Eating the right foods will aid in your fat-to-muscle-transformation.

    1) DIET IS EVERYTHING.
    The principal to fat loss is being in a calorie deficit (eating less than your body burns). You put yourself in a deficit, you will lose weight.

    2) EXERCISE HELPS.
    Exercising means furthermore burning more calories creating more of a deficit to reach your goal.

    Make sure you get your eating right as there's no point training hard when your eat is messy! Focus this week or the next on your diet. You should actually be able to lose 2 pounds a week if your diet is on form.

    Once you have your diet sussed, get a personal trainer and see what training is best for you. Weight training is great but technique is a must.
