Answer 1

ok, you are doing something wrong. I started workin out around 2 months ago and im doing pretty well, ur gonna make a mistake. if you can, get a personal trainer. If you can't u gotta do this. You can't wory out one whole day upper body andannother day lower. You have to work out 1 major muscle group and 1 minor muscle group. You need to let your muscles recover, if not you are going to basically do a lot of extra work for nnothing. For instance, one day do chest (big muscle) and triceps(lil muscle), another day do back (big) and biceps (little ), then do legs (big) (including ur calves) and do abs), then the next day do shoulders and you can just do anything else or do triceps and you get what im saying. But trust me, the best thinbg is to get it checked by someone who really knows, like I have, I'mdoing so good. By the way Idk what fit or ripped means so sorry haha.

It sounds like you've given this a lot of thought.

Personally, I'd tweak it a little bit. If we start with strength training, Your goal should be a 20 to 30 minute workout 3x's per week.

When you strength train, you should include all of your muscles. You start with the largest, Your legs, glutes, calves and chest muscles and work to the smallest, biceps, triceps etc.

Treadmill, or walking outside should be done every evening after your last meal for 1 1/2 to 2 miles. That's about 30 minutes. You don't really need to do more than that as long as you do it every day.

Your last meal of the day should be between 300 and 500 calories, it has to take you through the next twelve or so hours, so should be substantial and balanced.

One more bit of info; Theres a long held myth that strength training doesn't provide cardio workout, but science has proven that wrong.

Best of luck to you.

P.S. I didn't see your mention of water. Drink LOTS of it throughout the day. Up to a gallon. No, I'm not kidding. If it's very cold, your body uses calories to heat it up and then heat is expelled when you urinate. Your body can burn up to another 40 calories per day simply by drinking cold water.

Answer 3

Actually you plan is just fine as long as you stay interested in it. By working the whole upper body one day and then rest followed by whole lower body then rest; you maintain a high production of growth hormone which will help you gain muscles mass, thus burning more body fat at rest. Remember to have a very light intensity week every 6 weeks to recover properly. You should always change something about your program every 6 to 12 weeks like a different cardio and different rep range or exercise in weight training and so on. There is no "best" way to train because your body will adapt to what you are used to doing. I have been training since childhood and change my workout often to keep motivated and injury free. Make sure that you are getting enough protein to fuel your muscles growth. Avoid eating a lot of simple carbohydrates and avoid eating any carbs within 4 hours before bed. If you stay on your listed program then you should have a significant change within 12 weeks. That is not long considering that you should keep working out for the rest of your life.
