I am looking to lose alot of weight. I need help finding a plan that I can stick to everyday. I have an exercise bike, weight bench and weights. I also have a heavy bag and boxing gloves. I find that if I have a structured routine the more likly I am to stick with exercise. Can anyone help me with any suggestions please?
I recommend skipping the heavy bag and boxing gloves for a little bit.
Start with like 40 minutes on the exercise bike going at a pretty moderate pace.
After about 1-2 weeks, in addition to that, you can start a 3 day split for lifting weights.
Legs
• Leg Presses: 3 Sets x 12 Reps
• Leg Curls: 2 Sets x 12 Reps
• Standing Calf Raises: 2 Sets x 12 Reps
Chest/Shoulders
• Flat Barbell Bench Presses:
2 Sets x 10 Reps
• Barbell Shoulder Presses:
2 Sets x 10 Reps
Back
• Front Pulldowns: 2 Sets x 10 Reps
• Barbell Rows: 2 Sets x 10 Reps
Arms
• Barbell Curls:
2 Sets x 10 Reps
• Lying Tricep Extensions:
2 Sets x 10 Reps
If you don’t have a barbell, try substituting them with dumbbells as much as you can, and if you can’t do an exercise because of improper equipment, look for another exercise to replace it.
Do this weight-lifting movement 3 days a week along with your 4-5 day bike routine.
After about 2 months of the weight lifting, you can proceed with 4 or 5 day splits.
When you want to work on your punching bag, make sure you do NOT do it on the day before your shoulder workout, or the day of your shoulder workout. Otherwise you will cause severe muscle strain.
