I've decided that I want to live a more healthy, fit life but don't know the first thing about it so help me.
First, I'm 25 and about 180 pounds, the most I've ever weighed in my life. I'm looking to drop a little fat and firm up what little muscle I have. My end goal is to look more like Bruce Lee that Arnold. My two main concerns are eating right and exercising.
For the eating I don't eat tons of junk food. I rarely buy chips and drink a dozen or two cans of pop a year. I drink orange juice from concentrate almost all the time with some milk once and a while. I guess I should probably have more variety there. I'm trying to eat more vegetable in the form of carrots. Are canned fruits good? I ate them for breakfast as a child and could get back into that.
As much as I want to eat healthy, I don't want to start eating crazy hippie food made out of grass. Its still got to be good and easy to make.
As for exercise, late last year I started doing pushups before bed every night and am still doing them in four sets of ten. I would like to add more exercises but am not sure which ones. I was also going to buy and exercise bike. I don't want to join a gym.
Any advice?
