Some questions I have about working out...

Well, I've been working out this whole summer and I have a few questions, and here they are:

1. I work out everyday, but everyday, I workout at a diffrent time. Like, one day will be 1:00pm, the next will be 4:00 pm, and the next will be like 9:00pm. Is it recomended to work out the same time everyday? And, is there an ideal time to work out?

2. Right now, I'm just working out to lose weight, and this is what I do:
- Run 2 miles in 25 min or less.
- 3 sets of 10 of different Chest Excercizes on 3 diffrent machines. The weight lifted varies from 50-70 lbs
- 90 cruches

Do I need to add more to more my work out, or adjust it in anyway?

If you want to lose weight, you need to run for a bare minimum of 30 miniutes. I would suggest running 4 miles, 4-5 days a week.

For weight training, you do it exactly like body builders do. High intensity, low volume, minimal sets and work each set to failure. The only difference between body building, and body toning is diet, NOT routine. Toning and muscle size is determined in the kitchen, not the gym. Eat big to get big, eat small to stay small.

I would do a split like this:

Mon: Chest shoulders and triceps +4 mile run
Tue: off
Wed: back and biceps + 4 mile run
Thu: 4 mile run
Fri, legs and calves (if you do these right, you wont be able to run)
Sat: off
Sun: 4 mile run

Stick to compound movements like incline, flat and decline bench press, military press, pull-ups/downs, low/high rows, squats, dead lifts and calf raises (standing and seated). Do simple movements if you have energy and time left AFTER you finish your compound movements. Try not to spend more than 60 minutes lifting.

The best times to do your cardio are either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, or directly after you lift weights. Never do your cardio directly before lifting. It's counter productive.
