Re: Help!! how long should i work out for??
This is something I've posted before, but it gives you an example fo what you might get given by an instructor / could do in a Gym.
Basic total body stuff 3 times a week.
This sort of routine might work.
Squats, 2 sets 10 reps.
Lunges, 2 sets 10 reps.
Deadlifts, 2 sets 10 reps.
Dumbell Bench Press, 2 sets 10 reps.
Bent over Barbell Rows, 2 sets 10 reps.
Dumbell Shrugs, 2 sets 10 reps.
Planks 30 seconds.
You would do this every other day, 3 times a week for around 4-6 weeks, to adjust to the biomechanics of weightlifting.
You would use the smallest dumbell on small muscles and the next one up on larger ones, the same applies to Barbell based exercises, first lowest on small muscles, second lowest on bigger muscles.
For machines, one plate for small muscles, 2 for big ones.
A gym instructor if you have access to a Gym could advise further, as this is a basic outline of a potential way to do things, not something written in stone or gospel.
In addition to what I cut and pasted above, you can do cardio yes, as you could do it 2x a week, using a low level interval setting then beeing up the setting a little after a few weeks, when you have developed a better cardiovascular foundation.
This is how the two things could slot in during the week.
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 and means you're not doing 5 days straight then 2 days of nothing, as you'll only train 3 days straight at any one time, so it should be better for progress and recovery.
Hopefully that makes some semblence of sense
