Tips for what kid of work out to do

Post by DCFC79 »

What kind of routine/workout would be suitable for someone wanting to lose some weight.

If I were to start doing 10 reps on the leg press @ say 10kg how long should I do it at 10kg before I up the weight to say 15kg ?

This is the sort of thing you could do.

Squats, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest barbell available).

Lunges, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (second smallest dumbells available).

Deadlifts, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest barbell available).

Bench press, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (second smallest dumbells available).

Bent over rows, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest barbell available).

Shrugs, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest dumbells available).

Planks, 30-45 seconds

This is done every other day mixed with cardio, so the weekly schedule could look like this.

Day 1. Weights

Day 2. Cardio

Day 3. Weights

Day 4. Day off

Day 5. Cardio

Day 6. Weights

Day 7. Day off

This splits the off days so you don't have two back to back days, potentially eating into progress and it means you don't train for 5 days straight.

You would amend the level of weight used every 2 weeks initially, then 6 weeks later you'd be ready for something different .

I usually prefer to take walks with dogs. I also take the stairs instead of the lift. Recently I found an app which is really useful to track fitness activity. I use the Android app for motivade
