someone qualified look at this and tell me if it’s okay for exercises?
Please I’m a beginner in my 20s – read over this quick and tell me if it’s a good workout plan and if it will make a dent in weight loss and overall health:
cardio w/ barbells sometimes:
20 min. 5 days per week
strength training: 2 days a week
2 sets, 25 reps crunches with a twist
2 sets, 25 reps reverse crunches
2 sets, 10 reps modified pushups
I would try doing 30 minutes of cardio at a time if you can. It’s better to get your heart rate up for 30 minutes than for 20. Also, be careful using weights when doing cardio. It really doesn’t add much resistance, but the possibility of injuring yourself is much higher. So, I’d dump the weights during cardio. Your strength training is a great start. I’d do that for a few weeks. But, once you get used to it, don’t be afraid to use resistance bands or light dumbells for exercises like curls, shoulder presses (pushing the weights up over your head) or chest presses (lying on a bench, pushing weights away from your body–like a bench press) or lat pull backs (movement like starting a lawnmower), or finally tricep exercises. These will really help you build some muscle, which will make you look and feel much healthier. Plus, weight bearing exercises help build bone density, so you’ll be killing 2 birds with one stone. And don’t forget a healthy diet is essential. Great job, and good luck with your continued weight loss.
