I will start by saying I haven't worked out seriously in many years, and my last go at it didn't last more than a month. 5'11ish & maybe 210lbs, I don't know as I don't have a scale (yet) My goals are to increase my stamina and build up my core strength. I'm not concerned with losing weight at all, I'd actually prefer not to. I'd like to add some definition to my arms and abs and strength my legs. I don't have any actual goals like "I want my arms to be [this big]" I just want to be in better shape and be stronger. When I get a scale I'll report back with my weight, and measure my arms and chest too. Here's the equipment I have.
bench & barbells with 200lb of plates. Since I don't have anyone to spot me I'll be sticking to shit I can do with the hand weights.
Slam Man boxing machine
A ghetto Gazelle Edge knock-off
Perfect Push-Ups V-2
Perfect Pullup
Weighted rubber jump rope
I started monday on the hundredpushup.com thing, today's the first day I really focused on working out.
5 minutes warm up, I walked and stretched, I'm not flexible at all - I've never been able to touch my toes. When I try I get to my knees and basically hit an invisible wall. That probably should be one of my goals lol.
33 minutes on the glider with the resistance all the way low, started slow, sped up after a few minutes and increased the strides.
Push-Ups 3/4/2/3/6 rested 90 seconds in between sets. They honestly weren't all good form, wasn't able to go very low on some of them, but I gotta start somewhere.
15 minutes on the Glider, medium speed the entire time, lowest resistance. Broke a sweat and my legs were semi burning.
1 1/2 Push-Ups with the PP V-2 - This is HARD SHIT compared to a regular pushup lol.
no boxing or weights yet
Since I haven't worked out in forever the 33 minutes on the glider had me sweating pretty good and when I got off my legs were slightly numb and I could definitely feel some burning for a good 5 minutes after. That was 5:30'ish my legs aren't sore (1:34AM) I mixed up 2 packs of PureSport, a Workout one and a Recovery one. Drank the Workout during the glider, and after drank the Recovery. I know it was overkill for the small amount I did, but I want to be able to work out again tomorrow.
I know I should get some rings those are next on my list. I plan to add some situps, pullups and squats into my routine by next week. Any guru here with advice of any time for me I'm all ears. Even it's to say I'm doing it all wrong, whatever fine tuning I need just let me know what. I bought some nice Rebook running shoes and will start at least walking/jogging this weekend. Maybe try out some running mid next week. I'm not really sure how effective the glider machines are, but I like it because I don't get tired, feel burning in my legs and sweat a good amount. so I'm figuring it's got to be doing something good? I'm semi broke right now, but any equipment suggestions are great. I'll be setting aside money every week. I'm interested in some sort of exercise bike. Dunno what else to look into. I want to do 4 days a week, starting out with 3 for now so I don't overdo it though.
