Hi, I would like to know about what to do in the gym. Im on school vacation now and this is for 3 months. So i have all the time i need to go to the gym. I want to loose a few pounds, but at the same time gain muscle... What should i do..?

Some people told me to keep my HR in 136 for fat burn and 166 for cardio... But should i use that or what..? by the way, im 15, weigh 120lb and am like 67in.

my BMI is 19kg/m2... so what should i do to gain muscle and burn a little fat.

Thanx

    Being a personal trainer and in the gym every single day I see so many people doing so many things wrong. Then you see these same people getting discouraged because the results aren't following. So I'm going to discuss a very important key to getting extreme muscle growth without the use of drugs. When it comes to bodybuilding or any other type of training with lean muscle mass being the end result you need to know to eat healthy. consume a little more protein (meat) than usual. Drink a lot of water. Cut out all carbonated beverages, Coke, that stuff. Water is the best drink for you. It cleans out bodily toxins. Eat fruit daily, and veggies of course, fruit just tastes better haha. but vegetables are important too.Work out helps but losing weight and getting a tone body is about your body fat percentage. Eating healthy is the main thing, then work out. Two strengths when combined, result in that figure your looking for. When you work out don't do the same routine work out everyday. alternate between 3 days and do different things each of the three days. like Monday do crunches, Tuesday sit ups, Wednesday go for a run. then Thursday go back to crunches. You can do more than one thing a day certainly but don't do the exact same workout everyday. Your body gets use to it. Mix things up. Eat a healthy breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gets you going. Eggs, bacon, milk, orange juice. that sort of thing are a good morning start to BREAK the FAST from the dinner meal until the morning. Just combine eating healthy with work out and you should see results in the first few days.
