Well I was working out at home, but I got lazy all the time and kept skipping workout and sometimes stopping completely for months, so I signed up for a gym membership. so far it works very well. The fact that I paid $350 of my hard earned cash really keeps me going even when I don't want to get up and go.
The problem is, I feel like I got no system in my workouts. I am not fat at all, and not skinny but I am in horrible physical shape so I am slowly working my way up from low weight to higher weight every week. I do about 3 sets of ten reps for every set of muscles.
I go to gym every other day. I alternate days when I work on my back, triceps, biceps, stomach and chest, and days when I do my legs/cardio(mostly jumprope) plus whatever I was too lazy to do on the previous day. After every workout I feel not only severely exhausted but in some ways sick... Head spinning, dizzy, head pounding. I am assuming I am doing something wrong, and I will ruin my health if I keep going like this.
Also when trying to bench press a barbell, even a very light one my whole body shakes like crazy and I cannot do more than around 5 reps. Is this normal?
I tried going to workout websites to get some info, but they give complicated charts, and I don't want to do any calculations since I am horrible in math. Where can I find a simple to understand regimen that I can follow?
Now the question of food. I try to have meals with some protein every day, but it is already getting extremely boring. I don't eat chicken, so I am limited to veal and fish. Raw meat is very expensive so I try to substitute with canned tuna, canned salmon, eggs and beans. I did some research and apparently canned tuna/salmon/eggs are bad for you unless you eat em no more than say.. 2 times a week each. Either way I end up eating virtually the same crap every two days and I cant even look at this stuff no more. Do I have other options? What do you guys eat and how?
