I run sprints 3 or 4 times a week and that has really helped me not only gain speed, but also keep my abs looking good.
I try to strength train 5 days a week, but since I don't go to the gym, I'm less motivated and miss days, so I'll double up on some days.
Routine:
Monday: (Morning track work) Chest& Quads
Tuesday: Biceps
Wednesday: (Morning track work) Calves& Glutes
Thursday: Triceps
Friday: (Morning track work) Back, Shoulders, & Hamstrings
I have a hyperactive dog that assures I get three vigorous walks a day, plus walking to and from work. So I pretty much have to get a reasonable work out.
Well, I am weightlifting/bodybuilding trying to gain a lot of muscle minimum fat. I would like to work my legs because they are way out of shape compared to my upper body. However, I do not have any equipment for legs, but I do one exercise with a barbell that sort of works my hamstrings a bit.
My chest/biceps routine is usually like this:
Bench Press Flat
Incline Bench press
Dumbbell Curls
Barbell Curls
Chest flys (or dumbbell flys w/e)
Back/shoulders:
Barbell Stiff Legged Deadlift
Barbell Shoulder Press
Pull ups (but on a separate day by itself)
Dips for triceps
I walk quickly around my neighbourhood every evening, which is a distance of five miles and which takes me about an hour.
I have a six-stage routine that has really done a number on my overall body weight, particularly my ab area. It has mainly to do with the legs, but there is a bit of upper body and flexibility worked in. I recommend it to everyone, and anyone can do it. It works like so:
1. Squat thrust
2. Brisk walk
3. Reach/stretch and twist
4. Brisk walk
5. Squat
6. Arm curls
Then the cycle starts over. I do this cycle 6 to 12 times per evening, depending on how much beer I have, and whether or not I have work in the morning.
May I ask you how long that you have been doing this routine for :-)
