Few Training Questions

[commandocrazy]

Hi i went for a 3 mile run this morning its my first ever run it took me 35 mins which i know is crap but i have already admitted to being overweight and i am working on that (18 stone to 16 stone still got a lot to lose i know) i have also started to do boxercise twice a week. My routine is: Monday up at 6am 3 mile run. gym after school i use the Treadmill, Cross Runner, Bike, Rower is there any more i should use?? i then go on the weights light weight max reps i do not stick to specific muscles like bodybuilders either then i go swimming (pools at the gym i don't have to travel) Tuesday same as Monday but instead of the 3 mile run i use the exercises on the royal marines tool but ive added star jumps, mountain climbers, and skipping into it. Wednesday is a rest day. Thursday exactly the same as Monday Friday same as Tuesday Saturday rest day Sunday the 3 miler and the excersises then swimming. I cant do any pull ups or push ups due to being over weight i think but i am working on the weight as i said before. can anyone tell me a good circuit to gain strength and/or lose weight or should i should i keep doing the one i am doing now? i really really want to get into the marines its more a less a dream job for me any more advice added to the great advice already given would be much appreciated thanks a bunch sorry this post is so long

Well done for putting in the effort mate, can't imagine how tough it must be for a lad of your size, but hats of to you.

Good choice on the boxersize as well you should defiantly start to see weight drop of with all this if you keep your diet clean. It will take time but don't get disheartened.

I just think of things like ... if I can improve my time by two minuet each month in 8 months I’ll be running 3 miles in 19 minuets! (perhaps that’s a big ask more of an example )

So as long as your improving all is good and basically just aim to beat your self every time you do something.

All that said, don't forget to listen to your body, if you need a rest then take one as this will benefit you more than forcing your self beyond a sensible level of exercise.

I've recommended it a few times on here also but try looking into (google it is probably the best option) the benefits of drinking green tea for fat loss, it isn't magic but it doesn't half work, even if you look like a monk drinking it

All the very best

Also look at thermogenic supplements, helped a mate lose shedloads

I'd personally be weary of these fat loss pills and such... I’m not going to suggest or tell you not to use these because I never have (or probably never will) and I haven't got enough information on them. For me the best fat loss ‘supplements’ is damn hard work and a decent diet.

But if you do choose to use these make sure you know exactly what they are and contain before putting them into your body.

Certainly not necessary, but I’m never one today there useless as maybe for some people they could see benefits from these.

I know no ones said this but certainly don't see them as a magic bullet!

Your choice though mate

Aye, me mates used PhD Lean Degree (http://www.phd-supplements.com/leandegree.shtml) - Obviously along with a decent diet and workout plan. As said, they aren't magic tablets, but every little helps..

Aye, well if they help you and you've got the cash go for it... every little does indeed help (this threads starting to sound like a sodding Tesco’s advert!)

Can do push ups now, only a few like but at least now I can start progressing and be able to do more and more. I am going to do e.g.. as many as I can one week, and then try and put in a few more the week after, then a few more the week after etc. Does anybody think this will work??

Why not just follow the Royal Marine fitness programme?!
