• Free time to work out

WHAT I NEED

• Help deciding on a diet
• Help deciding on supplements
• Help finding out what exercises I'm doing at the gym. Its a gym in my community w/ 8 different machines. Is there a website that tells me what equipment affects what muscles and what those exercises are called? So when I make journal entries, I am referring to the exercises correctly.
• Help deciding on a workout plan. I've noticed on a lot of other peoples journals, they work out legs 1 day, arms the next, etc.

Starting journal as soon as my checklist for WHAT I NEED is completed. Thanks in advance for any input/help with me getting started.

I recommend the 12 week or thirteen week programs on this site, I've had a lot of success with them. Cover your basics with Supplements i.e., protein, good multi-vitamin, fish oil. Make sure you learn to read the labels of what you're eating and educate yourself first before you make any life altering decisions, that was the key for me.

All your questions can be answered here on this site either in the forums or the pages that lie within...

Why don't you post your current diet and your calculated daily maintenance calories and we can help you modify it based on your goals?
Supplements; like previous poster said, just start with a basic whey protein, mult-vitamin and if you want, fish oil (I personally like it).
Aside from this site, I think this is my favorite for soaking in knowledge about how muscles work and various exercises, check it out;

Pick a program from this site, or mimic someone' journal with similar goals until you become knowledgable enough to modify it. Or you can list your ideas and we can help you tweak it.
