Just bought pic related, and have a few questions for /fit/
So my main excersize routine has literally just been push ups and running (3-4 sets of 60 pushups, then treadmill for 3-3.5 miles) for a while. I finally got this and will add it to my routine to get more in shape.
I have a few questions that i really need advice on
1. Will this help me lose weight while also gaining muscle/getting more toned? (gained like 20 fucking pounds and feel like i look noticeably fatter, at about 183 right now)
2. Is running actually a muscle killer or is that a meme? I really want to keep running because I've actually got decent at cardio
3. How is this as a routine? Ill definitely be doing it at least 4 times a week
4. I should take protein right? Whats the best kind for my situation
yes these are probably retarded questions but i honestly just need some help

You're a complete noob, so the exercise machine will work, and you can gain muscle while losing weight
Running is fine, complete meme that it kills gains
You didn't list a routine so no way to tell.
You need 150g a day. It doesn't matter if you get it from whey powder or food.
This machine is inferior to free weights by the way. And the chest press can rekt your shoulders. You should read the sticky.

Woops.
My routine, in addition to the pushing and running, will be sets of all the excersizes the machine has to offer (chest, shoulder, legs, arms).
Also, why is it inferior to free weights?
