Workout routines/advice? (And general discussion.)

[rushrock]

Yeah. I decided to start on more of a regular program. At home. I've got some weights, mats, etc...(The usual stuff.)

 

 

 

I'd like to know specific things to do first, what specific things to work out, and what types of exercises are good. If you can, make me a schedule.

 

 

 

Let's also make this a workout thread and a general workout discussion area.

 

 

 

Thanks. :)

well , i end up getting my daily workout from my 1st period class athletics but I'll tell you.

 

 

 

We start stretching, then we run 2 miles, go to the weight room and bench and etc. then we go finish the day with some more stretching. Takes up 50 minutes. I get faster every day, so I don't mind. Sometimes it varrys.

[The Dark Lord]

1. Stretch

 

2. Run/jog for a while.

 

3. stretch

 

4. lift weights (lower body on some days, upper on others)

 

5. do sit-ups/push-ups

 

 

 

Gonna be sore as hell, but worth it.

I go to a gym nearby, usually doing about 2 laps walking on a track, then doing about 10 pull ups on a pull up machine .. (one that has a counterweight)

You'll probably take offense by this post just because it's coming from me, but this thread has pretty much been done a million times. I mean the others have been about body building or lifting weights specifically, but people end up talking about this too.

-run half mile

 

-strech

 

-leg warm-ups

 

-run 5+ miles

 

-walk quarter mile

1. Eight minutes of like 6 MPH.

 

2. Weight lifting (2 sets of 12. Leg weights = 100 - 170 lbs. Arm weights 60 - 70 lbs.) I work on "Nautulus" (no idea how to spell it lol) machines.

 

 

 

Oh, try to go three or more times a week. If you don't, you'll regret it when you come back the next week. #-o Which I'm doing right now haha

What's that supposed to mean?

 

 

 

Basically, my goal is to shed some extra fat and get some lean muscle. That's my goal. I'm in fair shape right now (I think), but I could tone up a bit.

[willysp]

We usually start with a stretch (High knee's, lunges, butt kickers, etc...) then we sprint for 2 minutes, then we do ladder drills.

 

 

 

Then we go up and lift, some days we do arms and upper body (benching, push press, dumbell rows)

 

 

 

other days we do lower body (squat, deadlift, power clean)

 

 

 

and then we end with another jog to cool down.

 

 

 

So basically,

 

 

 

Stretch

 

Run

 

lift

 

cooldown (jog or something)

[BloodWarrior6]

Doing P.E at school is enough for me...but what I sometimes do is:

 

50 sit ups

 

100 press ups

 

Work out my legs by squatting then standing again, about 25 times because I have a knee injury.

 

Then stretch as many muscles as I can think of.

[Celluzion]

All you need are heavy deads, bench, and squat and you're good to go.

 

 

 

 

 

Add some heavy Barbell Rows and wide grip pull ups for a big strong back.

Day 1: Chest and tricpes

 

Day 2: Rest

 

Day 3: Back and biceps

 

Day 4: Rest

 

Day 5: Shoulders, legs and abs

 

Day 6: Rest

 

 

 

Then back to day 1.

 

 

 

I'll do intensive cardio occasionally at the end of a rest day and I do a 5 minute warm up before each work out and gentle swim at the end.
