What is your workout regimen?

[Keepcalm89]

I started to work out regularly about a month ago in a half and It's been great, the goal that I want to reach its to be fit, loose belly fat and gain some muscle, and be able to be fit in a way that I can run a marathon and be able to play basketball or soccer better. I be seen the difference since I started to work out and it hasn't been that long, I seen how I have more energy and how I feel about myself. But I'm still looking for a good exercise regimen. Something that can work with me and something not to intense since I'm just starting out.. can anyone share a beginner excersise routine that I could do? Basic and simple, I'm basically in the tred mil for 15 min.. lift weights, 20 pounds per arm. I use 25 pound Dumbbells various positions and play basketball and that's about it. Thank you all gym people

First look at your goals, if you truly want to run a marathon then you must train for that, 26.2 miles is not 15 min on a tread, it's more like 2 to 3 hours once a week, speed training a couple of times a week, and recovery runs etc. Something like this is what you are looking for

I've ran that kind of distance before, it's not easy. If you need someone to talk to, brag to (I just ran 10 miles in 40 minutes!!!), or cry to I'm here for you.

[Keepcalm89]

Haha thank you sir! I will

I do 5-10 min warmup. then i hit the weights real hard for 45-60 min. then i do abs, stretch, then hit the steam room for 5 min. i do that every day, and take rest days when i need them (too busy, sore muscles, or just feel like i need 1). I do 1 muscle group a day (today I did chest), and I do legs and arms 2x a week.

Doubt itll help you but...
I run 3 miles on the beach every morning, usually a short swim afterwards.
Surf/swim for a few hours just about every evening.

I run between 2-6 miles, then I either do a butt workout, abs, or arms workout for around 20 minutes (I alternate muscle groups)

Don't take it the wrong way, I know for a fact you've made absolute 0 gains. Look up starting strength 5x5. Its a great starter program.

[Keepcalm89]

Cool bruh I'll take anything lol

[Barrabus_the_Free]

And don't JUST do 5x5's, either. That's OK for a month or less, then switch to something like 4x8, where you reach muscle failure on the last rep. Or 5x3, much heavier weights (you'll want a spotter), longer rest between sets. After a month of that, at most, switch again to something else. And look into HIIT, incorporate some of that into your workout. Just a couple minutes of intense cardio between superset exercises can really change your workout, and challenge you.

@Barrabus_the_Free

Uhm no? Dyel bro? You can stay on 5x5 for a very long time.

[Barrabus_the_Free]

You can stay on anything for a very long time, if you don't mind watching your progress taper off as your body adapts.

[joseyyywhales]

@Barrabus_the_Free

Right okay... you definitely know more than the dude who wrote and benches more than twice your body weight

[joseyyywhales]
