Breakfast is by far the worst meal to cut out of the day. You've just woken up and your body hasn't (or shouldn't have) had a decent meal for at least 10 hours. It needs energy to start functioning. It needs energy to really start up.Daveman said:2) Breakfast is the best meal to cut out of your day. I am a lucky person who is never hungry in the morning so I never eat it anyway but I'm pretty sure that's the sole reason I'm not a big tub of lard.
1. Lifting weights at low weight high reps will burn off calories and start definition.Daveman said:I wouldn't worry about BMI. When I was exercising and getting regular meals in my teens it said I was underweight and now I have developed moobs and run at best once a fortnight, I'm average. But still here's what I know.
1) Lifting weights will only make you bigger, it doesn't particularly add definition. If you're trimming yourself down I'd try and do very little of this.
2) Breakfast is the best meal to cut out of your day. I am a lucky person who is never hungry in the morning so I never eat it anyway but I'm pretty sure that's the sole reason I'm not a big tub of lard.
3) Lots of slow exercise will burn fat, though annoyingly it's quite time consuming. The key is burn more calories than you take in. This means either exercise more by running, swimming or general whole body exercises (so there's more movement and more calories burnt) or just eat less calories and the simplest way to do this is by reducing your portion size. Also, you need to be willing to keep doing it for the rest of your life to keep the weight off so try to pick types of exercise you actually enjoy.
Also give yourself a definite goal to train for, not based on the whims of some female. For instance if you like running enter for a marathon and aim to do it in under 4 hours. With regular training I'm sure you could do it. If you do pick running I'd also get off the treadmill unless it's raining. Get a pedometer and try and find some grass to run on.

Sorry mate, not so. If you lift every day not only will you make no gains you will hurt yourself within weeks. You don't get bigger and stronger by working out, you get bigger and stringer from recovering from working out.Nouw said:Walking and push-ups.
Usually ever-day.
Hell any form of exercise, if done everyday, is good for you.
Your eating crisps? Stop that for a start, didn't you ever do that "experiment" in school were you burn a crisp and watch the fat drip off it? Plus there awful for your teeth, worse than a glass of coke.Griffolion said:snip
Lift and eat well. In the long run it will make you gain a lot more than Parkour. Unless you are doing Parkour because you want to do Parkour. In that case, carry on.Rhymenoceros said:Fortunately my BMI is ridiculously low 15 (you're meant to be between 18-25) However in an attempt to build muscle, as I have virtually none, I've recently taken up Parkour and Free-Running.

Diet has more of an effect on your physique than your exercise. If he lift and eats in deficit he'll do well. OP has said he is sedentary so he may even gain some muscle in the first few weeks like I did when I started lifting.Samurai Silhouette said:I think he's trying to drop weight, not bulk up.

Ask those guys, they know just about everything.
Just a couple of suggestions. You should try and switch triceps with biceps, usually it's better to do chest+biceps and back+triceps, or a separate day of biceps+triceps is even better if you have the time.Kaim89 said:I skip cadio way too often, but this is how I usually do it:
Monday: Breast and triceps workout
Wednesday: Legs and shoulders
Friday: Back and biceps
Put 15-20 min of cardio infront of it all and your good =)
