Hi Guys,
Just wanted some other opinions on this subject.
I went to my Chemist yesterday and asked him about going to the gym. He said its fine, but I will get knackered very quickly as I have no sugar in my body. What really surprised me though is that he advised I stick mainly to weights rather then cardiovascular. He said that building muscle will use more fat then doing for eg...a run on a treadmill. I have always thought the opposite to be true. That going to aerobics or running to be the best way to burn fat, but he is insistant on the weights being the best form of fat burning........and that women often get this wrong.
He did a test on my body fat (not to be confused with BMI). My % of body fat was 39.......I nearly cried until he told me that 35 is normal for a women. He said to go to the gym and that every week he'll check this for me coz the scales may not show if my fat is being converted to muscle, but this little machine will tell me accurately how much fat I have.........I WANT ONE.
