Also I don't know if you are getting enough protein. Try staying await from white rice instead dig some wild rice. Also try to keep all your carbs as whole grain your body will process it better and it will help you burn it longer.

As far as your workout goes, you aren't really doing anything for your back or your quads.
I would try to throw in some pull-ups or rows and some kind of squat maybe some deadlifts
as well......

Once again I am definately not an expert, but these things should help optimize what you are doing.
CC#879 Sheep and thanks for your input.
You and I are the same I'm just getting into this whole eating right and the right amounts of things myself so at times I have to stop and do some reaserch before I start anything....

About the works also thanks again and will def. look into it as I just finished printing out some excersises from the trainer board in the sticky threads.

I'm just doing it to get in shape (not of a ball) and stay in shape.
I work out in my backyard where I have this set up.

I switch it up on, ex: Sometimes I'll do 75 jabs with one hand then 75 with the other then move around the bag reset/start over and the same sequence from there. Then I'll rest for a couple of minutes then Over again.
I also just started looking for videos/instructionals of combos I can practice and put to use.

No, this is just to stay in shape/get back into shape.

Good idea I like that I'm gonna give that a go.

Thanks a lot for taking the time and for your input CC# 6
