But I can lift 1/2/3/4 how do I fix my overall health?
I'm 6'0 and about 190lbs

High blood pressure?
>stop drinking and smoking or however the hell else your posioning yourself.
>jump on the elliptical and hour a day and stop eating shit
>>35561891
I only drink one night per week (12 beers on sat night), don't smoke, so is one hour of cardio a day enough? I reckon I could handle an hour of fast walking.
>>35561822
Drop 20-30 pounds
You're fat.
>>35562054
An hour of cardio will be massively beneficial. Diet is more important at your size though. Restrict yourself to 2000 cals daily and you'll lose weight gradually over the course of the year.

If he can lift 1/2/3/4 and is 190 at 6' he isn't fat.
At least one of those things isn't true.
I'm 6' and was 190 before my cut and couldn't lift 1/2/3/4 and I was never even close to fat.
I have a feeling that OP is lying about something.
>>35562096
If he is 21% now, he will be about 12% if he cuts down to 170 lbs. so he might be kind of chubby.
You can easily hit 1/2/3/4 at 170 lbs 12% body fat.
>>35562122
Yeah but you would be able to walk up stairs without being out of breath. So OP is either lying about his stats or he is paranoid about the fact that steps gets his heart rate up and doesn't realize that it's fairly normal.
Cardio.
Start slowly. Stick with it. Watch your progress.

Bro, get your fucking heart checked by a doctor? Sounds like you could have a fucked up heart or something.
190lbs at 6', even if you're 30% bodyfat shouldn't leave you with those symptoms. I would seriously consider getting checked by a doc m8.
>>35562096
He could be 25% bodyfat
>>35562054
12 beers is binge drinking. Binging really messes up everything.
>>35562054
12 is a lot of beers, messes with your body... Trust me I used to do that once or twice a week.
Keep it to less than 6... And honestly 1 or 2 beers a night is actually pretty good for you as long as you work it into your macros.
Walk 6 miles a day.
So simple. So great for your weak as fuck heart.
>>35562137
Age is a big issue...
Maybe OP is like, 45 years old?
Because I'm sure we're all assuming he's younger
Cardio is more important the older you get
But I agree, he's def leaving a detail out

Go vegan.
heme iron found in meat raises coronary heart disease, non animal products have no heme iron

Whole foods plant based diet
Don't look back, avoid all animal products
>>35564365
No I am too.
I was hypertensive stage 2. Watched Knives over Forks and Dr Greger's youtube channel and went vegan 6 months ago. Changed my life on so many levels. Blood pressure is normal, no medication used just vegan diet, but a whole range over other stuff changed for me also. Mood settled, erections are like being 16 again (I'm 43), body feels light relaxed and full of energy, and I cab concentrate like a laser effortlessly. An amazing turn around. Animal products are killing us, the evidence is there.
>>35561822
How old are you?
I (28) was in pretty much the same spot some 5 months ago. 6'1 and 260 lbs.
I cut out all fast food and drinking completly, changed my diet and started with the "couch to 5km" programm.
After the first two painful weeks where I couldn't keep the program up like I should because everything hurted so fucking much, I started to lose around 2-3 lbs per week and am now close to 200.

Drink tons of water, it'll train your kidneys to consistently get rid if excess water.
Cut out carbs.
These 2 things will a drastic effect on your weight & BP.
Heart rate varies and depends on if you want to do cardio.
>>35561822
Regardless of what advice you get/follow, I'm gonna recommend you don't visit any saunas in the near future.

the high resting heart rate and getting out of breath walking up the stairs are common signs of anemia especially at your height/weight. get some bloodwork done
