Is this a good work out to do in my room, does this burn any calories?

[Anonymous]

I can't go the gym. Does this sound like a good calorie burning routine that i can do in my room? My room is quite big by the way so that's not an issue really. This is what i've been doing 2-3 times a week and every Sunday. What do you think?

1. Stretch (hands, legs, arm circles, shoulder stretch , leg circles)
2. Warm up : jogging in place for 2-3 min.
3. Leg lifts : leg kicks , 50 each.
4: 100 squats.
5: 66 jumping jacks.
6. 88 crunches.
7 : cardio
8. Jogging around the room 30 min.
9. Walking up an down my stairs.
10. Repeat 66 jumping jacks.
11. Lastly, Walk around the room.

ALL low intensity. No upper body.

I don't like it.

Here's my opinion.
1. Warm up, jump rope, shadow box, jumping jacks.
2. If you can do 100 squats then replace squats with something more intense.. Single leg squats
3. Crunches, again if you can do 88 then replace with something more intense.. L-sit
4. Add push ups with proper form.
5. Cardio and eliminate the random jogging and walking
6. Stretch and cool down.

May i ask why the jogging and walking is bad?

[Asker]

How many push up exactly?

[ichot]

The bad part of jogging and walking is that it's simply redundant when you already have "cardio" listed.

[ichot]

"How many push ups?"

How many should you do at all?

It depends on how you want to exercise. Do you want muscular endurance? Do you want hypertrophy? Intramuscular coordination?

For a general number..
Find out your max 1 rep. Do as many PROPER FORM push ups you can.
After you have this number, then do 60~80% of that value over couple repetitions.

Yes, that's a great way to burn calories! Like you, I don't go to the gym since I work out at home (haven't been to one since 2007). The biggest challenge is finding the motivation and being committed enough to stick to your routine.
I suggest you add some upper body exercises (such as pushups) as well.

Thatll get pretty boring FAST. You need equipment if you want to improve muscle strength. But thats not enough cardio to burn calories at all..

[Asker]

It's boring yes but i just blast my favorite songs.. Would what you suggest then if i don't have any equipment besides a treadmill?

[DandelionGirl]

If you have any heavy cans at home, and use them like dumbbells. If you have a treadmill, use the highest resistance which is 15.0 I believe and speed at 4.5, you'll burn 100 calories in 7 minutes.. if you're concerned about calories. Treadmill at its highest resistance is best! But I suggest you invest in some dumbbells.

I miss arm, shoulder and real core work in it. And if you want to burn fat, why not go running in a park for 30 to 60 min?

[Dtegesd123]

seems decent. But I would incorporate more MMA workouts/ body toning moves like pushups. Then replace the squats with burpees

[Asker]

I do the squats because i want a better butt so...
