'Cause that's pretty much what I'm doing. I've joined a gym with a decent amount of equipment, but for the past two months I've focused almost exclusively on running with only some pullups and pushups thrown in.
I understand that increased muscle mass means increased metabolism, and increased metabolism means easier/quicker weight loss. I guess what gets me is devising a routine. I stare at a room full of strength training equipment and I pretty much just don't know where to begin.
So did any of you guys go that route? Did you reach the weight loss goal you wanted and then begin building muscle? Can I even be successful this way if I stick with it? I've dropped 15 pounds already, and I need to drop about 15-20 more. Thanks in advance.
