Keep doing what you're doing. You can't spot reduce fat, just keep losing it from all over. Diet has to be good as well. Read up online for a decent split workout and diet plan rather than ask for advice here cos you'll get mixed vaugue advice.

Just keep losing weight. You can't control where it goes from.

Annie... I kind of want to get into lifting. Have done some at circuits (deadlifts, snatch, power cleans etc) but want to find good training plans etc so I am doing it right.

Any suggestions?

Depends what type of lifting?

I used to do bodybuilding comps but have now moved over to competitive Powerlifting.

What’s your goal? Strength? Aesthetics? Power?

Those red leggings are amazing, mind if I asked where you bought them?

Sticking to the big compound movements like squats, deadlifts, chest press, lat pull down and military (shoulder) press is a good start and works all the main bits.

Worrying too much about the little extra movements and all the other machines can come later on.

You often find the staff at gyms are crying out for people to ask them stuff like that so use them, gives them a break from cleaning equipment and hoovering!

Just that you’re going and enjoying it! Too much focus is put on the right splits and the ‘correct’ plan, if you’re using more calories that you’re taking in, you’ll lose weight,

Oh yea but gainz!!

It depends on your goals and how you plan to achieve them. If you are going to do something then it's valuable to ensure that you train wisely. Ask staff for instruction and to fix you a training programme.

I started using a local gym run by a private company within local Leisure Centre.

Disaster! They've had me on exercises, 2 of which are creating strain on lower back.

Only found out when attending Hospital Physiotherapy involving exercise at their in house Gym. They've got me on specific exercises to increase lower limb strength, which I need.

Private Gym not meeting that goal but won't change. Problem is I'm on a GP Referral so have to attend.

Plus, why are Gyms so ruddy cold?

Did you tell them you had medical issues when you joined and they set a programme for you?

You don't have to follow their programme of its mot right for you.

Weight loss initially but also strength. I do some cardio already (running/cycling)

For weight loss you need to be in a calorie deficit consistently . You’ll need to work out your daily calorie allowance and track what you’re eating.

A mixture of cardio & resistance training will work efficiently for this.

For strength compound movements such as deadlifts/ bench press/ squat/ overhead press etc . But you’ll need to be shown what to by someone who’s trained

Well not constantly, but obviously overall yes.

Why won't they change? They are supposed to tailor your training to your specific needs, physical capabilities and medical needs.

"Think I'm gonna try the running machine tomorrow and some weights "

You've still not actually told us what you want to achieve. Give us some info and I'm sure there's enough of us with experience to give you a good idea.

If you need to train resistance and cardio exercises on the same day, get your weights done first.

I'll pop some points down which help myself, the guys I train (for free as I do it for enjoyment and to help) and that have scientific research behind them.

- Use a full range of movement, it helps with strength gains and hypertrophy (increasing muscle size).

- Increase your mobility enough so that your movements are the best to their ability.

- Warm up your muscle groups properly- Perfom light exercises on all muscle groups which are the main movers and stabilizers in a movement. Basically, don't forget to warm up your rotator cuff when training upper, or glutes for lower.

- High/Medium/Low repetitions all have physiological benefits, use a mixture. Rule of thumb is generally use lower reps on compounds and higher on accessories. Do what you enjoy though man, if you have specific goals then these repetitions/sets can be tailored appropriately.

- Train a muscle multiple times a week, usually in the form of training upper body one day and lower another (though the difference between a body part and upper/lower split is negligible).

- Consume around 1.4g of protein per 1kg of your own body weight e.g. 1.4x80kg= 112g of protein. Eat mostly carbs after that and about 20% of your daily calories from fat. It's not a strict rule, just a good place to start, find which ratios work best for you. Personally, I just eat what I fancy, but not forgetting to get enough carbs and protein.

- Learn correct bracing techniques. I won't go into this here. Google is your friend.

- Squat, dumbbell bench deadlifts, bent over rows, overhead press are good staple lifts.

- If you're crap/weak on an exercise,it may mean that it needs some more focus- Find what's weak and make it strong.

- Its not punishment, do what you enjoy, but try not to neglect any muscle groups.

Lots may lot care enough to consider the above, but hopefully this may help steer any thread observers in a goo direction.

Sorry about the long comment!

"Excuse the typos!"
that’s useful info! I go to the gym and never know what to do so end up slowly moving on the crooos trainer as I watch Antiques Roadshow. The only glee was a regular who said he was younger than me but looked much older.
