I'm 24, 6'0", and average 175lbs. I've always been a natural fighter--runs in the family. But now I'm getting older and realizing that I need to get into a regular training plan and diet to keep healthy. What I'm looking for is a beginners plan/guide for weightlifting, exercising, and eating right to either set me on a basic routine, or at least give me advice on building my own. I'm also looking for some tips on improving my reaction time and thinking process.

Thanks guys.

I would highly recommend that you check out www.labrada.com. There is tons of free information there and in particular the 'lean body challenge' packet is an excellent start for a beginner, or really anyone, who is looking to get on a realistic diet/exercise program that you can do for the rest of your life.

MMA weight lifting? Work your back, shoulders, legs, and core. I usually do 1 set of 15, 1 set of 5 (Heavy weight to gain strength), and another set of 15. This helps build endurance and strength. Also, the break between sets should only be about 45-60 seconds.
