Well today I odered this puppy:
Heavy Duty Triple Threat Gym
So my question is....
What do I do with it?
Being that I'm sure you guys know your way better through this Forum then me. I was hoping you'd guys could direct me to some threads on here that I could use for when my gym arrives.
I've also got a treadmill, excersice bike, jump rope and some weights.
I pretty much know the different types of excersices I can do with the equipment I've got. But I don't know where to start.
What I want to do is set up a routine that I can do. I should mention this ONLY for me to stay fit I am NOT doing this because I want to box. I know swimming is one of the best ways to stay fit but unfortunately I couldn't afford building a swimming pool in my house so I had to settle for the gym.
So I hope someone can help me out here in designing a routine that best suits me.
Thanks in advanced,
Mick
I don't live in a big place so i have to go to the gym a lot but i do tend to keep it simple. I have a chin up bar on my bedroom door, i have set of dumbbells, some big weights in the shed. Cross trainer and a fitness ball for my abs. Its shame you can't go swimming Mick i used to go all the time but i have had to cut down because im busy now.
If your just looking to get lean and fit and not worried about muscles or etc. Then just do Cardio between 30 mins-45mins at least 5 days a week. And watch what your eating as well you can't expect to do 45 mins of Cardio then just eat whatever want. Now i can't tell you what to eat but im just saying be careful of what you eat and try and cut out fatty foods. And im not sure if your morning person or not but try and exercise in the morning if you can because when you wake up your body is low on Glycogen which forces you to burn fat at a higher ratio.
Monday
Morning = Cardio skipping or going on the treadmill whichever you prefer.
Afternoon = Ab work out Bicycle crunches etc. this site will give you the best ab work outs.

Evening = Light dumbbells and more reps, is the best to get your arms lean.
Now i just done that to give you an example how to set up your routine, You said you do football on Sunday so maybe work out 4 days a week instead of 5 because football is a pretty good Cardio work out in itself. Cardio doesn't have to be boring, i sometimes go out with my mates and play basketball and etc. Any fun sport that gets you moving is a good Cardio work out. Also i go to boxing as you know and i find sparring to be a fun Cardio work out as well. Have you ever considered going to boxing gym just to get fit and lean ?? you don't have to do any fighting if you don't want you can just do it as a hobby to keep fit etc.
By the way if your looking to get a six pack or etc, i can really help you there so let me know.
