I just got out of high school, and I've got a few days before I start working my summer job. So I figure I'll spend them finishing some last summer shopping as well as figuring how I'm going to begin a workout program.
I'm 18, 6'1, 165 lbs. I'm skinny, but I could lose some pudge and definitely gain some muscle. Now, I don't want to get bodybuilder big, but I wouldn't mind toning up and just looking really defined all around. Again, I don't want any really noticable mass on me, just some definition and maybe a bit of mass. Now, I just have to figure out exactly what I'm going to do--I can figure out my diet if you guys can help me figure out what to do.
I've got an eliptical machine and a treadmill at home. My guess is I'll stick with the eliptical considering my knees will eventually go bad from tennis. I also have a set of weights that contains a squat rack with a barbell and bench, and also some adjustable free weights that go up to 52.5 lbs. So, I was thinking running 2 miles a day would be reasonable since I'm in pretty good shape, but I'm a bit lost on weightlifting. What exactly should I be doing? Are there any programs out there? Again, no bulk since I just play tennis and want to keep my skinny jeans .
Thanks for any advice guys.
