First off, sorry if I posted in the wrong section.
Anyways I have several questions regarding my body and am hoping that I can get some feedback.
Some background info, along with some questions:
I let myself go for the past 6 months, eating alot, studying alot, watching movies alot and minimal exercise.
So I just finished eating McD's breakfast and weighed myself.
Starting weight: 198 lbs (Sept 11, 2005)
Target weight: 175 lbs (when? Before Halloween of THIS year)
Asian guy, my height is 183 cm. Is my target weight appropriate for me? Is my target weight even possible? Because muscle weighs more than fat! I want to be toned and not bulk up.
Gotta cut down on sweets, maybe once a week or less, and have to stop those late night eatings. Because of my schedule I will be able to exercise monday to thurs for an hour and half, maybe even two hours. Friday, saturday and sunday will be days when I let my body rest up with an occasion sit up using my exercise ball.
Alright that my resolution!
Misconceptions and confusions that I have
So first off, my exercise regiment consist of warmup (cardio) running on treadmill or on the ellipse for 30 min, followed by an hour of lifting weights which usually consists of 15 reps, 3 sets each that works my back, chest, arms and legs (my whole body) I want to tone up and become fit without looking like Bobo (bruce lee fans should know him as the muscle up asian guy - I want to look like Bruce Lee )
I read somewhere that it is bad to exercise the day before or on the day that you go exercising due to something relating to nitrogen buildup. Is that a misconception?
I can only dive on monday and/or tuesdays which are the same days that I can go to the gym to work out. My main question is how much or can I exercise in the afternoon and if so how hard can I work out before I go diving?
...jeez it sure takes me a long time to get to my point. Sorry.
Thanks for any info that is thrown my way.
