BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Exercise weightlifting

im 63 years old.. i am beginning at lifting weights. im interested in abdominal exercise to reduce my belly size. i am 206 lbs ant 5 ft 11. i am not obese but i do want to reduce wasit size and lose a few lbs. i also want to increase arm strength but not overdo it either. how much weight should i be lifting for arem strength and doing leg lifts...i am using a weight bench. too. thx for any advice.

im gettting rid of the weight bench i bought a elliptical machine..i like this its much more encouraging and easier to work out with this machine it works arms legs and heart and lungs much better to my liking.

Any type of exercise you find you really like is great. It will help you keep going.

150 calories may not sound like much to seasoned exercise people but for me im happy with that and i believe i can improve on that over time. im learning to east smaller portions of food at home. i always eat a salad..with some dressing...i know too much is bad. ive noticed a slight improvement in the way my jeans fit around the waist.. thx terri.

Keep it up and your jeans will be falling off of you. Good luck!
