Just joined a gym... Advice?

    Hi all,

    I've just joined a gym and I'm looking for advice about the best routine to follow. I'm not a big cardio fan, and I'd like to start lifting weights, but I don't even know how to go about it.

    Let me tell you my stats and goals and that might help.

    I'm female, 5'5, 157lbs, hourglass shaped and I carry most of my weight on my belly.

    I eat a fairly clean diet (no sugar or processed food) but I do eat a little more carbs and less protein than I maybe should. I'm trying to remedy that though, and I'm quite knowledgeable about nutrition so I don't need help there. I'm eating around 1,400 cals a day but I have an extremely sedentary lifestyle right now.

    My main goal is fat loss and secondary goal is toning up. I have a strong lower body and a pitifully weak upper body :o.

    Can anyone recommend a routine? How much and what kind of cardio and what kind of strength training? I'll try to book a personal training session but I'd love to hear from the expertise in this forum too.

    Thanks!
