Do you have any goals in mind?
To get back into fighting shape and all round fitness, ie build some muscle but also be fit. Reduce body fat to a level where I look ripped.
Are you looking to start training?
Have started training Weights 3 x per week, some sort of cardio daily, more on the non weight days, have also started Kettlebell training once a week, have set up my home gym, by re building all my old 'Samson' training equipment (power rack and bench), made my own thick lifting bars and dumbbells as well (after reading 'Dinosaur Training'), got a mat area with a heavy punch/kick bag set up to work out on during cardio days as well as collected some cardio equipment from eBay.
Are you trying to gain or lose weight?
Not worried about weight, aiming to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat percentage.
