I'm kind of new to working out. I was a fatty pretty much my elementary school years and high school, and I still am. I've just completed my first year in college, but over this summer since I stayed at my university and they have a fitness center available for use, I've been trying to put it to good use. I've been going to it about 3-4 times a week and doing some form of cardio (either bike or eliptical, my knees hurt like a total bitch if I use the trendmill) and then working on weights afterwards (I'm not good at keeping track on what machines I use and how much I use it, but I know that I've been using the abs machine way too much) Last time I weighed myself, I was about 220 (My height is 5'6", and I've been trying to bring it down. (I need to buy a new scale, I no longer have a scale since I've moved) In one day, I usually stay for about an hour to about an hour and 15 minutes.
Anyways, several questions, I've just been wearing boxers when I work out, but sometimes it crawls up my crack, what *should* I buy to avoid this?
And, should I just work on more cardio than weights? My main goal is to lose my stomach, and lower my waistline. (I'm at 38-40 right now, I'm obviously quite wanting this lower) I also want to gain strength as well though. I thought that more muscle helps burn more fat?
