Over the last few years I have been very active in the gym with mixed results. I lost a lot of weight and am clearly in better shape but I haven't built a ton of muscle or broken through with a six pack stomach yet.
One thing I noticed was that I tended to try to either do it all with aerobic type workouts or all with weight training. Neither really got me to where I wanted to be. As of now I'm trying to do a better job of combining the two. I do both kinds of workouts on a weekly basis. I'm only about 3 months in so it's too early to say whether or not it is going to be a success but I have gained a lot of strength, and lost weight so the signs are good.
One thing I still need to work on is my diet. I have been limiting my calories but I'm still eating too much in the way of carbs and probably not enough protein. I haven't had a lot of success with protein supplements in the past but I may give them another try. We'll see.
I will keep you posted on how things go over time.
