I cant seem to make myself go to the gym so I just started a different approach at home. I really need exercise to help with this terrible depression.
I'm doing three cycles of push ups/lat presses/ dumbell squats.
Then three cycles of crunches/leg lifts for the stomach.
The whole thing only takes thirty minutes and works the whole body. I only have done it for tow days so far and my whole body is sore.
Here is my question. Do you think I can get cut faster doing it six days a week or four days a week. Ive heard the body needs rest, but since this is a routine of high repetition, little weight resistance Im wondering if six days might be better than four.
For frame of reference Im 5"8 156 lbs, but Im starting to watch what I eat and shooting to get to 145-150
You should only realling do the Anerobics 3 times a week the way your doing it. Maybe monday, wed, n fri the other days should be aerobics maybe 30 minutes of speed walking or biking. Try to eat foods in their natural state and avoid ingrediants such as High Fructose Corn syrup. Eat nothing with butter or its substitutes. with the type of training your doing expect it to take a minimum of 5 months to get cut and thats if you train hard and eat right
You should consider two light days a week. Otherwise, what you're doing isn't really that hard on your body. After a month or so, you might want to start differentiating your days to get a couple extra-hard days in as well as a couple light ones. On those hard days you can just work your whole body to exhaustion, or else focus on particular muscle groups.
Don't do too much too soon. Best to alternate every other day. In between you can do less strenuous, less intense exercises. Gradually, as you build your body back, you can increase repetitions and number of days.
Hint: Playing music you enjoy, upbeat music that is, while you exercise tends to help you hang in there longer and better endure your exercise regimen.

This is both aerobic and anaerobic, because its circuits. I use two ten pound dumbells and a mat, thats all. I can feel that Im doing cardio as well as strenghtening, but this program wont burn much fat. For that Ill have to accomplish it through diet.

thanks for the advice.
i've found when ive been disciplining myself physically that it spills over into all of the other aspects of my life. i feel much more alert today than i usually do, because i forced myself to exercise.

That's great. Stick with it. I think it will help you a lot mentally as well.
a day of rest in between each workout is essential. Your muscles are built not by pushing weights themselves....but during the resting period afterward.
Best thing you can do is 3 days weight lifting...or the routine you are doing, and 3 days cardio.
And before your workout...eat a jumbo jack links jerky stick. Its only 160 calories, less than 2 grams fat and packs a hefty 26 grams of protein.
Buy yourself a few good dance music CDs and dance around the house to them. That's got to be more fun (and better for your depression) than crunches and strict regimes.

You're joking right? )Why did I suddenly picture Burning dressed like Richard Simmons? )
Sheesh, as if the poor man doesn't get enough grief from his father as it is! Can you imagine what he'd say if Burning actually takes your advice?
