Great thread! I just started to get back into shape for my new years resolution. I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, so you guys can probably give me some pointers. Anyways, I typically go every day after work for 1.5-2 hours. I usually start with a mile jog, and then another mile at uh...not quite a steady pace. Just plain running. I don't think I'm sprinting, but I'm not jogging...just running.
Hit either the stairmaster or the spin cycle for 15-20 mins, and then jump to the weights, which is where I have no experience what so ever in. Just as a reference, I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs. Pretty skinny. Trying to build some upper body and arm muscle. I basically go on each machine and do 12 x 3 on lower weights just to build my strength up. I think I stick to 50-65 on most machines..Anyways, hoping to get a trainer (I got 2 free trainer sessions for doing some survey!!) to help me actually get a good program going, and to make sure my form is correct on the free weights. The machines have pictures .
Anyways, that is my rather amateur workout.
Nothing wrong with that! Im fortunate to be looked at by varsity wrestling coaches so my high school I'm going to next year is letting me start my training in the spring and then i have football...thats hell haha. But i know 85% of people don't stick to resolutions or don't even do 'em! So I'm glad you're getting out there and working out! It takes time and progress..i could go run for miles and pass up everyone at my school but most of them can lift more than me so there is no shame when working out..there will always be someone better than you. Not in a mean way to say that thats just how I've learned when working out with kids my age. They all have more upper body strength. Anyways, glad you're keeping your cardio up!
