 Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 1:58 pm Post subject: What workout routine should i do? |
 |
|
| I'm male, 26, 5' 9" and 240lbs. I stopped working out for a while and have been slacking with dieting also. I want to get back into it. When i use to work out, i got down to 190lbs. I would like to get down to 200lbs. Right now i'm a little chubby but i do have a muscular body type so that adds some weight so i'm not looking to get bigger. I do heavy work right now putting heavy pipe in the air. Is this a good workout plan? I'm planning on:Going on Weight Watchers (or should i?) and Workout 4 days a week:Day 1: chest and triceptsDay 2: back and biceptsDay 3: shouldersDay 4: legsEach of these days will end with 100 sit-ups. Fri, Sat, Sun will be my off days.Is this enough? Please help, thankyouI would like to run also but i get shin splints so bad with this weight. When i was 190lbs, i didn't have a problem.I need to get in shape by April. |

| I think having your training days as 4 in a row is a bad move. You will be overtraining your body and lower the results. Plus byu the 3 or 4th day of training you will be more tired and the workout less effective. I would at the very least recommend a 2 on 1 off routine. That way your body can recover. Especially with you having a physically demanding job, rest is very important. As far as the shin splints go, do some toe raises while stranding against a wall. Just put your weight on your heels and lift your toes upward as far as possible. Do this until you get a really good burn then repeat a few times. Mainly do this with your leg/calf workout. It will help strengthen your shins a bit and build theoir endurance. |
