You need to hit each muscle group 2-3x per week. A good workout plan would be to work out six days per week, alternating cardio and weightlifting days.

You have certain goals for life, he doesnt... that isn't being shallow, its a major difference in values that will really impact your life later. Get out now before you get involved too deeply and end up having a ball and chain dragging you down. I had a similar situation where I was with someone for 5 years, and while I…

Can you lose 20 lbs of WEIGHT in six weeks? You can, but a big chunk of that 20 lbs will be water weight and muscle. Can you lose 20 lbs of FAT in six weeks? No, it is scientifically impossible.
