I am just getting back into exercising after two years, I just had surgery a while back and am now ready to start toning up my body. MY current weight is 224lbs, I would like to reach a weight goal of 160 to 165. Should I concentrate on weight loss first or combine weight loss with weight training
If you build and strengthen your muscles your metabolic rate will go up, meaning you burn more calories easier...even when you're sleeping!
Always do your weight training first, then followed by cardio.
You should aim to train with weights around 3 times a week
Any more questions just post

Hi RWF,
I've had a fat test, the result is normal. What kind of exercise I should have to tone my muscles ? I usually start with cardio for 12 minutes, then weight lifting. Should I add cardio after weight lifting ?
weights always first! Then cardio. If you reverse it, the cardio will use your muscle tissue for energy instead of your glycogen stores. And you want to keep your muscles because they burn fat even though they weigh more.
For good legs exercise, take a look at : Exercise For Woman
Search in 'hip exercise' and 'thighs exercises' section. They are simple but I found very usefull. I think 3-4 times a week will be enough.
Of course you should have protein after weight training to regain your energy.
