Default What is your GYM routine?

What do you do at the gym and for how long?

No gym, just a set of weights on the floor and a suburban sh*thole to jog around. This is a fairly recent development for me. I have time to do it now that it's summer. Getting back into the aul skateboarding as well. Good for the leg muscles.

Never really properly worked out but in the summer I'm going to start because I actually want to get fit and build my muscle.
I've made a daily routine:

Wake up at 8 am. Eat steak for breakfast.
3 mile cycle to the beach.
Jog along the beach until I feel like I'm going to be sick and die.
Rest.
Jog again.
3 mile cycle back to house.
Starting day: 3 x 30 sit ups. 3 x 10 push ups (increase rep size by one every day).
Weights work until i feel tired out.
Then shower and get ready for the day.

I can see how having to stand straight on a platform would be a somewhat alien concept to you.

3 times a week at gym. Full body work out that starts with legs, then chest, back, shoulders and arms. Mix of machine and free. 1 warm up set and then 3 main increasing each one.

For example shoulders are seated dumbell presses. lateral raises front, side and bent over, machine over head raises.

I warm up with 5 mins on rower and finish with a 20 min cycle.

I also just started skipping (dont laugh it is a killer) and I cycle to and back to gym (5 miles each way) unless it is bad weather.

The buzz you get after going to the gym is terrific.

Yeah most people don't realize that it can alleviate plenty of mental effects. It's the best thing for depression. All those endorphins. Wanking is good for that too. I'm amazed people still think food is just food, life is just life, and you cannot directly change how you feel save for some half arsed self help book.

The only exercise I do for now is nearly an hour on my exercise bike at home, every single day.

I know but i am actually going to do it. I have nothing else to do all summer and I'm fed up of being skinny/fat. I want to look good when I go to my new school.
