in Fitness and Exercise
Hey everybody! :)
Since it’s the winter holidays, where good food is just irresistible, I have decided to improve my health through exercising (because why wait till new years to start right?).

I am quite a newbie to exercising properly, so here is what it consists of:
- running routine (gradual progress towards 30mins)
- Abs, Legs, Arms focus workouts

Hope you guys like it and let’s get fit together!

    Arm day looks like there's plenty of chest work with the pushups, not a lot of back so you do have her there.

    I like your energy. I would follow a pro-designed program, to avoid the common newbie mistakes with self-designed routines. For weights, try NROL4W, FitnessBlender, or Nerd Fitness. For running, C25K is the standard. :+1:

    I like the "enjoy the endorphins" part ^^

    Looks like you went through a lot of work to put together a program.
    Do you have some running/sports experience already? If not, the running progression might be a bit ambitious. Most people work up to 30 minutes of running over the course of 8-12 weeks. So if it turns out you can't meet the goals you set yourself, don't feel bad about it and go a bit easier.

    In general, I agree with Cherimoose suggestion to have a look at some "professional" routines. But if you are exited to follow your own program for 4 weeks, you might still want to change "arm" to "upper body" and add some back exercises? Some ideas e.g. here: http://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/no-equipment-back-exercises/

    She did add 5 minutes of streching / cooldown do be done after every training.

    Title is wrong. This is not a great program for beginners.
    But, since you are young and definitely sound enthusiastic, it might be a great program for you :)

    where are the free weights..???

    To any newbies looking into this thread, I would highly suggest that you look into strong lifts or all pro beginner routine...

    agree with the others, much better following an already developed plan if you are new to all this!

    This is obviously designed as a bodyweight program. Looks good to me. Not too much volume for a beginner.

    Thank you everyone for all the constructive feedback :)

    I was slightly too ambitious and overestimated my abilities (but we all learn from mistakes right?). I have made some adjustments after 2 days because...ouchies my muscles ><

    Apologies to anyone who might have felt mislead :( i hope no injuries have occured because of this.

    Please please please read all of the comments above and only use my over-ambitious plan as a "inexperienced dream guideline" ><

    Let's get fit SAFELY together!
