Anyone have a workout routine?[views:4841][posts:30]_______________________________________ [Aug 26,2004 5:37pm - armageddonday ""] I've been going at the gym for a while now but I need some kind of routine, I can't afford to pay for a personal trainer even for 1 hour as I think it's $90 or some shit like that. This is what I usually try to do: day1: 20 min bike ride, 45 min (+) cardio, 20 min weightlifting (usually I try to do arms, legs, abs 2 reps of 15, but there's too much to choose) day 2: if I can 45 min cardio, plus 20 minutes bike ride day3 same as day 1 day4 2 hours bike ride/flyering... day5 same as day 1 then I usually take 2 days off My question is should I work out specific part of the body the same week, and then switch the week after, or should I switch parts every other day, or should I work out my whole body in the same session? I hope someone can help and that I'm not going to take too much shit for this post... |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 26,2004 6:40pm - Dissector ""] 4 days a week at the gym. Chest and bicepts, legs, shoulders and back, tricpeps. I try to stick to that routine as much as possible. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 26,2004 7:22pm - MyDeadDoll ""] i just joined a gym again and i'm just doing cardio to get back into it. i have asthma so i can't work out that hard or i'll die. hehehe. i think switching parts everyother day sounds right, tho. i'll have to ask my husband, the workout geek. |

Do you want to build mass and be larger or do you just want to tone and be healthy? I think cardio is boring and gay so I don't do it very often. I weight train every body part every week in a 4 day rotation. Chest, back, legs, tris, bis (abs every day) in whatever combination works best for you -- and don't be afraid to change things up as long as you give muscles time to recover. xtomx nli is right about small meals often, but that's hard to do if you're working fulltime and playing shows. Eat lots of protein and stay away from junk. Lift aggressively at the gym, but try to enjoy it. If you get yourself to enjoy lifting, you won't skip days and you'll stick with it. \m/ |

| __________________________________ [Aug 26,2004 8:55pm - Aegathis ""] I usually workout on my little excercise doohickie in my basement, which is like a bowflex but not as good. I used to do it everyother day but its hard for me to get myself to want to, seen as how ive been doing all this outside labor all summer long. When i go back to school i should be able to do the old routine. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 27,2004 8:18am - korpse-l- ""] i only go 2 times a week for about 2 hours each time and it seems to work just fine. the more you rest your muscles, the more strength you'll have the next time you lift (for me anyway). i haven't been doing cardio though i should start again because i drink too much. day 1 - Chest / Back / Shoulders 4 sets of each exercise (12-10-10-8 reps while increasing weight) - Lat Pull Down - Flat Bench press - Shoulder press - seated rows - incline dumbell press - shoulder shrugs Day 2 - Bi's / Tri's - over head tricep pull w/cable - nautilus bicep machine - skull crushers - hammer curls - tricep pulldown - isolated preacher curl |

If you get yourself to enjoy lifting, you won't skip days and you'll stick with it. \m/ I'm a girl so I don't want to build up too much, I just basically want to get rid of some fat here and there and be healthy. The small meals stuff is tough cause I stay 8 hours non stop at the store, I've been trying but really I don't think I can do that. I stay away from junk, I'm vegetarian anyway so I have to be carefull what I eat, the protein thing is not a problem either. I'm going to start rotating as you said. Abs and cardio every day are necessary as I drink so much beer...I will never get rid of my beer belly I can garanty that (I don't really care anyway).. But thank you all for the info...it's kind of nice to read all this, motivating in a way. I saw the same kind of post on the Relapse board once but I'd rather ask here..as the Relapse board kind of sucks anyway... |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 27,2004 10:15am - the_reverend ""] I have a wick routine involving coming into work in the morning and... *point**click**movemovemove*point**click**click**click* repeat. honestly, I usually ride 18-40 miles 3-4 days a week on my bike... but this summer I've been so busy with the new place to get my bike really working so i've only done 1 7 or so mile ride... I suck! |

| _____________________________________________ [Aug 27,2004 2:39pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i'm just starting to get back into a regular workout routine (or at least trying). the routine i used to do that worked best for me was: 1-2 hours weightlifting: first stretches, then 50 sit ups, 50 crunches, 50 bicycle crunches 3 sets of 20 push-ups 4 sets of 15 chest (either benching or i believe butterflies is what the other exercise is called) 4 sets 15 shoulder press 3 sets 20 shoulder shrugs 3 sets 15 flies 3 sets 15 preacher curls 2 sets 10 regular curls 2 sets 20 fore arm curl second day would either be 4 miles on a bike or 2 miles walking/running. alternated those 2 schedules every other day for 6 days of the week, rested 1 day and got back into it. now i'm trying to do the same weightlifting exercises, and hiking my bikeriding up to 8-12 miles. i want to start incorporated more leg weightlifting too. my legs are huge, but i want more tone. fah shizzle |
