Great thread. I just started seriously working out at my school's gym at the beginning of May. I don't follow a workout plan, I just go to lift and then eat. I usually go 3 days a week but I'm going to be increasing that to 4-5 days a week starting tomorrow. Even though I've been going to the gym for a month, my body looks pretty much the same. However, I do feel stronger at the gym as I can lift relatively heavier weights than before. I usually work with middleweights, I'm not trying to bulk up but rather trying to get a slim athletic body. I've been doing abs exercises quite a bit and my abs do feel more "solid" but I need to burn some fat before I can see the results so I definitely need to work on cardio and work more on my legs (Something that I've been neglecting). Also, I eat pretty healthy; mostly eat rice, spinach, cauliflower, zucchini, red meat. But I need to start eating more vegetables which is also something I've been lacking. Also, I'm celiac so I can't eat anything with gluten (which is basically everything) so it's a little difficult following diet plans when I can't eat anything. Any tips or advice on anything would be greatly appreciated!
