New to workout.., help don't know where to start

[MadaMadaDame]

I'm 20 years old, never really gone to the gym seriously. I am not a tall guy, around 5'4 only. Currently am 145 lbs with an flabby stomach ( lol someone must be laughing already). But the good part is, when with clothes i don't really look very fat. I have small bones ( thin bones or whatever you call it.)

Ok enough background of my current physics.

Can anybody tell me how to start shaping up? Do i got with a diet? i don't know anything really about diets. Don't know how to count calories etc.

As for gym, what do i start with? Cardio or go straight with lifting.. i think the sticky about guide to bulking or cutting up won't apply to me yet, since im totally in "no shape" at all.. and i consider myself a weak guy.

I want to change, i know height won't change anymore, but i believe my structure would change. Any help please.. Kinda desperate here.

Both guides apply to you, go read them and apply and you'll look good. Congratulations on deciding to change and good luck.

Well, you do fit in. You are flabby, as you put it, so you should probably *cut* the weight down some

Read both guides, cutting and bulking, and go from there.

To find good workouts you could either get a session or 2 with a personal trainer( some gyms offer these free to new members) or you could look good workouts up on bodybuilding.com. I also recommend that site for any questions those guys and girls are very knowledgeable about working out.
