Is this a good workout or should I do more later?

[Anonymous]

ran 1 mile (9mins)
uphill walking 2 miles (changing speed and incline)
4 sets leg press
4 sets squats with 20 lbs

[Singlemom24]

I'm a personal trainer and my typical workout is 30mins of cardio...45mins of muscular strength training...
If you need help with strength training... down load this all Caled "30 Day Fit" it has 30 days work of Ab, pushup, squats and bodyweight exercises... ranging from Beginner to Advanced :)

[GigiTheGuilbert]

yeah. that's good. that's kind of like what I do.. when it's not flucking freezing outside.

[Jon_Gre_g]

: O. So much leg and cardio. I think you are good unless you are trying to bulk?

[Asker]

yes im trying to get a booty... or just make my small on rounder

[Jon_Gre_g]

Oh if you are trying to just tone then yeah should be fine I guess.

[Checkmate5345]

The body grows as a unit, you have to work out everything evenly and eat enough protein, carbs and fat or it'll be pointless.

[Jon_Gre_g]

@Checkmate5345 Yeah but as she listed she's not bodybuilding she's trying to tone her glutes.

[Checkmate5345]

20 lbs squat? That'll do nothing.

[Asker]

i can't hold much more!

[Checkmate5345]

All I know is for men it's 130 pound min.

[Asker]

jesus how much do u want me to do? so you're theory is all these squat callenges and workouts are BS? a lot of guides dont even say you have to use weights

[Asker]

im not using a squat rack.. i have dumbells

[Jon_Gre_g]

Don't listen to him OP I think he is mistaking you for somebody who wants to body build or something...

[Checkmate5345]

@Jon_Gre_g How much do you weigh asker?

[Checkmate5345]

@Jon_Gre_g If you weigh even 100 pounds, the minimum is 50, or else it's proven you'll literally be doing nothing.

[Checkmate5345]

And thighs need to go below parallel to floor.

[Jon_Gre_g]

Yeah true. But again it's a bit harder for the opposite sex to lift that much unless they are intentionally trying to bodybuild.

[Checkmate5345]

@Jon_Gre_g She said she's trying to build an ass so why don't you let someone educated on the science of it give her some advice before she wastes all of her time.

[Jon_Gre_g]

lmao okay dude. You take the stage if it makes you feel better. Again if she lists that even that weight is heavy for her what good is telling her to lift more gonna do? Anyways I'm out then
: P

[Checkmate5345]

@Jon_Gre_g Do what you want just don't post dont listen to him on my advice.

[Jon_Gre_g]

Geez. Somebody is touchy. Ok np didn't mean it : P

[Asker]

i weigh 110

[Asker]

well ill try 50 tomorrow and let you know how it goes. but 20 is hard already because i used to do no weights

[Checkmate5345]

Do two 20's then and just do less reps, but make sure you eat before and after.

[Checkmate5345]

Maximum of six reps

[Checkmate5345]

And only hit the squat once you're muscles are rested, every couple days or even just once a week if you shock the shit out of them.

[Asker]

oh okay so that little of reps? ill do that how many sets? my reps keep getting less and less I used to do over 100 with now weights then when I added weight I was around 60. But yeah i think you're right. As for protein is salmon or chicken after good?

[Checkmate5345]

With that many reps, you're just doing cardio and burning calories. You want to save calories, shock the muscle by pushing out 6 reps as hard as you can make it on yourself. You need carbs to build muscle, and for energy throughout the workout. So rice, potatoes, cereal and some meat before, and sure salmon, chicken, eggs, beef, milk, protein shake, tuna. A can of salmon or tuna has 40 grams of protein and eggs are 7 each. Learn to drink raw eggs and you get the cheapest fastest protein. Its over 80 grams in 12 for 3 bucks.

[Checkmate5345]

Oh and as many sets as you can do. Change it up all the time to confuse your body because if your body gets used to it you'll plateau.

[Checkmate5345]

Don't save energy for the next set just give it your all every time like a tiger.
