rejoining my gym today
and want to find the basics of burning calories weight-training. I don't think you can track them from what I have read. But my main concern is to get enough to eat (macros) to build the muscle.
Here's my plan, just estimate of what machines, no free-weights yet: Upper body machines, about 10 for different and some of the same muscles. I will get a list after I get there today. 3 sets 10 reps (the weight on all of these will be lowest, like 10 lbs I am thinking. Also, I'll do about 15 minutes of warm up on a treadmill which I know will give me a calorie count using my Polar Ft4. Aside from all that, I realize I just need to be pointed to some articles here, on how to log in my diary at MFP. Sometimes I think the diary actually throws me. The best I've ever done was when I didn't keep track of cals, I just ate balanced meals, drank a lot of water (well about 8 oz, 8 times a day). Anyway just need to find a good article on how to track the weight-training/nutrition. I'm in kind of a hurry so didn't really present this post very well, but appreciate your help, and especially, what to read here on em2wl ![]() ![]() MFP Food & Exercise Diaries ![]() |

RE: rejoining my gym today
Denise, having a plan makes a huge difference in your journey.
We have a lots of articles talking about all the you mentioned, but I’ll add a few links so you can read without feeling overwhelmed. First, I’d highly suggest that you take a look at Eat More 2 Weight Less Upper/Lower free workout: Then about how heavy is heavy Lifting: http://training.eatmore2weighless.com/ge...ee+workout http://eatmore2weighless.com/just-heavy-heavy-lifting/ And about food logging: http://eatmore2weighless.com/tracking-food/ Logging strength training calories may be a bit trick, specially because the monitors don’t count the afterburn effect that lifting has. Keep in my that in the end, those are estimates. Tereza Toledo ![]() ![]() Team EM2WL Certified EM2WL Personal Trainer and Coach Here is my journey: http://eatmore2weighless.com/tereza/ |
