Back playing sport

Shaniev

Ok I am 24 years old I am over weight but was alot worse I was 17 and a half stone last November now I am just under 16 stone now I have recently started back hurling training and joined the gym last week have changed my diet and have a fitness plan as well. I have hurling training on Tuesday and Thursday but I have college on a Thursday night. Then have match at the weekend. But I will be going gym 3 times a week Monday,Thursday and Friday. My fitness plan is 15 minutes on bike machine then break for strech then 2 sets of 20 sit ups the 15 minutes on treadmill 2 set of sit ups again then 15 minutes on cross trainer then 1 set of 30 sit ups. is this a good plan...

My diet is as follows:
Breakfast - muesli with skimmed milk or porrage
Lunch - brown bread and ham or brown bread and cheese 3 slices
After lunch/peckish - Banana or apple
Dinner - Pork Chops mixed veg and baby spuds or Chicken veg spuds
sometimes chicken and pasta with pasta sause with red or green pepper

And also I drink loads of water..

Some feed back would be great people and way I could improve or anything thanks lads!

• More resistance training, less flapping around with situps like a fish out of water.
  
  
• Situps will are not going to give you washboard abs if you weight 16 or 17 stone (in your current incarnation).
  
  
• You need to work your body as it evolved to work best - compound movements: squat, deadlift, bench press, rowing motions, lunges. These will burn maximum calories in minimum time and kick start your metabolism to burn more calories when you are out of the gym.
  
  
• Stick with one piece of cardio equipment for the duration instead of switching. This will save you a few mins of stop/start. You could cycle on Monday, run on Thursday and cross train on Friday. This way an aching body part is not pounded on 3 days of the week, just one.
  
  
• To loose weight: eat less, exercise more.
  
  
• Eat this: Fresh veg, lean meat, chicken, tuna, water, almonds, eggs.
  
  
• Avoid this: pizza, pasta, spuds sweets, chocs, rice, desert, alcohol, bread.
  
  
• Work out what your daily calorific needs are.
  
  
• Start logging your daily food intake on www.fitday.com.
  
  
• Read the stickies.
  
  
  PS. Put more effort into writing your posts. Use spaces and punctuation.
