Hey,
So I been searching the net and there is so much info and its all mixed and matched- peoples different ideas do's and donts. Maybe I can get some clarity here.
I am 26, weighing in at around 148lb with normal fat range and a fast metabolism. My goal is to become toned up and put on weight. 10lbs of muscle is a good start and a goal I think I can do..
My problem is. I dont have gear for home exercise; so in turn, what sort of work out combination will work for me at home. Example, how many sets of push ups etc. Can someone please explain to me a few good exercises to do at home. Plus what is a good substitute for whey protien since my gutts cannot handle it.
For my pre work out I am thinking, two pieces of whole wheat bread and a banana. Does that sound like enough also accompanied by two cups of water?
I dont know how to measure carbs, calories for my body mass etc. Big thing is, I tried to research things on the net before joining a forum. Just more questions haha.
Should I be hammering in some cardio and if so, should it be by hard work outs or jogging-which i hate more than anything. I have poor cardio and i know i need to strengthen.. Also would a 30 min gym workout be good enough every second day? I have lots of time on my hands right now since I am doing my clinical s and those shifts are spaced out greatly-nothing like a fulltime job.
Just any advice would be great for someone who is starting out and has tried before but failed!
Thanks for the advice!

You will need a gym membership.

As above said you'll need a gym membership or a home gym set up. Body weight exercises won't cut it for adding muscle on. Do some reading around this site for some info on nutrition and macros. There is tons of solid info here.
