I'd like to get into bodybuilding/training but I'm unsure where to start or look for advice. I've looked at some bodybuilding/fitness websites but can't make head nor tail of them and they all seem to be aimed at the 20+ crowd.
I did a bit when I was in my teens but I'm sure things have moved on from then and at my age I'm finding it really hard doing the 30 day shred several times a week let alone anything more serious. The 30 day shred has got me fit but I'm not seeing the tone I used to have when I was young (as if!) and wondered if body building/serious training was the answer.
I'm mid forties and fit otherwise. I'd like to lose about 10lbs but I'm not overweight by all the online calculators.
What really bothers me is my mid-section. It's so fat! I seem to store all my fat there like a tyre. I have none on my legs or bum or arms. I also can't seem to tone my glutes to any serious degree despite doing squats every day and leg clams.
So what I'm looking for really is a book or DVD or website to show me what to eat and how to train AS A WOMAN AT MY AGE.
I could sign up to a gym but in all honesty, I've tried a lot over the years and the advice hasn't been very good and often hasn't resulted in anything near what I've achieved with the 30 day shred.
I'm just hoping it's not too late to get a high round bum and toned abs before I hit 50! Failing that, I'll have to look into liposuction.
