Okay,
I've bought myself some new workout gear including new trainers, a gym bag, armband for my iPod Touch. I'm ready for when my gym opens on the 23rd! They are having visiting and inductions next week so I might book myself in.
Anyway, here's my workout plan. I will probably do seperate days either doing cardio or strength. I want to do both because I want to lose weight and tone at the same time.
Cardio
1
20 mins interval training on treadmill(1 min fast pace, 1 min jogging pace)
15 mins cross trainer
10 mins rowing machine
2
20 mins interval training on treadmill(1 min fast pace, 1 min jogging pace)
15 mins upright cycle
10 mins cross trainer
3
20 mins interval training on treadmill(1 min fast pace, 1 min jogging pace)
15 mins rowing machine
10 mins upright cycle
Strength
3 sets of 15 reps on leg press
3 sets of 15 reps leg curl
3 sets of 15 reps leg extensions
3 sets of 15 chest press
3 sets of 15 seated row machine
3 sets of 15 tricep extensions
3 sets of 15 bicep curls
3 sets of 15 abdominal crunches (machine)
3 sets of 15 back extensions
Both Cardio and Strength will take 45 minutes which I think is plenty for me.
I'm going to go at it quite hard to start off with. As the gym is pretty much on my way home from work, I will go straight from work Monday to Friday. Hopefully, I will begin to enjoy it enough to do longer sessions on the weekends. This is a 24 hour gym so there is no problem with times!
To begin, I plan on doing 3 days of cardio and 2 of strength.
It will go like this -
Mon - Cardio 1
Tue - Strength
Wed - Cardio 2
Thur - Strength
Fri - Cardio 3
That's my routine! It's pretty heavy to start (well I think so) because I need to start strong.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make this better, please let me know!
