2-3 days in a week, I work out. I want to know a well pattern to achieve a good health. Anyone help me?

You want to split up body parts. A 2x / week concept is 1 day, upper body, the other day, lower body. The idea here is to give yourself time to RECOVER. Otherwise all you do is tear down. Rule of thumb is you should feel BETTER after working out!

Starting out with weights is good, just concentrate on really perfect form, and go lighter than seems reasonable to make sure of it. 2 seconds up, 3 seconds controlling the descent of each motion, going for 12 reps per set will give you 1 minute of actual contraction which is ideal.

Duration of 20 minutes is surprisingly helpful, even with 60 - 90 seconds of rest between each set. You may work up to more than that, but going past 45 minutes is folly. (Natural hormone production works against you)

Be well!

You need to give your body plenty REST for your Muscles to develop. It`s about what you are eating aswell. Avoid Junk Food, Eat your fruit and veg, Protein..eggs, chicken, lean meat, fish etc.

I do a gym workout, one day on one day off;

DAY 1 - Shoulders and Legs, 1 hour cardio
DAY 2 - REST
DAY 3 - Chest and Triceps, 30 mins cardio
DAY 4 - REST
DAY 5 - Back and Biceps, 30 mins cardio
DAY 6 - REST
DAY 7 - Back to shoulders and legs!

I stuggle to do pull ups, does anyone recommend anything helpful for me?

I try to get in 3-4 times a week as far as working out but have been slacking off--due to being mentally tired as I have sleeping problems at times.

I'm gonna get back on the bandwagon.
I am good encouraging others to 'think positive' and also get 'healthy' (eating healthy and working out) but I have not been doing so lately.

Good things is we can get back up and try again! I'm definitely gonna get it going again!

I liek Cardio (Zumba & Insanity from p90x program).

Hi All,
I daily jog in the morning for 5 miles and hit gym in the evening for 2 hours.
Besides regular exercise I do yoga for 30 minutes also.

 

[SwissMade]

I'll work out about 5 days a week, lifting weights for about 1 hour each time. Maybe once a week I'll do some cardio. I'm in pretty good shape, but wouldn't mind adding a little muscle. Either way, I'm kinda in a maintenance mode, I feel pretty good and am otherwise healthy.

I am currently doing P90X and giving support, motivation and encouragement to over 100 people on my free private facebook page... If any one is looking to actually enjoy working out at home with their family let me know... I can get you hooked up with the program that works for you, we have many to choose from even the little kids... I am actually considering starting a mom/dad and kid workout time for any one that wants to join at our church... you can reach me on here, facebook (chad m knapp, nitro, wv), or on windows live messenger CoachChadPTL... Let me know how I can help you please... I love this stuff and I want to see people succeed...

Wow. So life got busy and before I knew it, months had gone by since my last workout. Crap. I hate that "starting from square one again" feeling. But time to dust off the creaky limbs and get back to it. This nice little article on christian fitness is getting me jazzed to get back to it. Guess I'll start back lightly on the treadmill tomorrow to get back into things. Wish me luck!

I do:

5 days a week: jogging 5-10 miles
2 days a week: weight lifting
2 days a week: Core strength
1 day a week: Yoga

I usually jog in the mornings and hit the gym in the afternoon. Pretty satisfied with this "schedule", it makes me feel brilliant!

 

[Ernst Junger]

squats 3x7
dead 3x6
bench 3x5
press 3x5
clean 3x5


i do other lifts for kicks (tricep pull downs, curls, pullups, etc) , but those are the most important, bar none. Squats are nu 1 most important. Any one who tries to sell you a routine without squats is robbing ya.
