Of course i trust my trainer. Getting feedback from others is always a good thing too, no? Thanks!

Thanks! Yes i think i was doing too much of the bike workouts when i was a teen, that must have caused the problem. As of now, i eat healthily, lower carbs and higher proteins and good fats mainly fish and nuts. Thanks again!!

Thanks a lot for the advices. I split my days in biceps, triceps shoulder and chest and back because i have only 30 minutes each morning for weight training so i split the days like this to focus on each muscle group. Cant do lower body weight training because of bad knees. I have increased the reps to 25 from 15 and have…

Thanks a lot for the reply! I wanted to start slow and be persistent. I do feel soreness in my arms for about 3-4 hrs after the tricep and bicep strength training days, and for a day after the shoulder workout days. Since i do feel the soreness, i guess the weights are ok at the present. Will increase in a month's time…

Thanks a lot Machka6! Am relieved. No, its just taht i had never tried elliptical before and it was about 18 yrs back that i had done stationary bike exercise that led to amenorrhea for a month, after which i stopped the exercise and all became normal again. i just dont want to risk that again but i do want to lose weight.…

Thanks! was just worried about it, hopefully all will be well.

Thanks a lot. I am managing my time well in this routine and feel energetic all the time. I look forward to the strength training sessions. Will definitely try the workouts in your link. Thanks again. Am i doing a lot of cardio? I dont want to trigger exercise induced amenorrhea! I experienced this about 18 yrs ago.

Thanks! Do you think my exercise schedule is intense? I feel very good at this time.

I train my upper body only as I have bad knees and am scared of damaging them any further. In the three weeks of gymming, I have started noticing positive changes in my upper body already and my jeans fit better too. The trainer suggested taking one muscle group a day so they can be focused on properly. I use 4 kg dumbbell…

I think i will stick to the elliptical rather than the treadmill, i feel i am putting more effort on the elliptical than the treadmill (even at speed 6.2!)

I will : ) Thanks!

I would really want to eat the prescribed amount of calories, however I am not too sure as I estimate the weights of the foods I eat. Also, I get full with the current volume of food I am taking, so i don't eat after I get full.

Thanks a lot everybody for your valuable input! Highly appreciated. I walk on the tread mill at about 6.2 speed level for max 15 minutes and do elliptical for 5 -10 minutes as well every day, total cardio not exceeding 20 minutes a day as I am a beginner at the gym. I used to work out before but only aerobic dances and…
