I'm 5'10'; 170 lbs. I don't have much experience lifting so I need some help. I want a defined body and a nice 6 pack without losing the weight and want to gain muscle mass. Where do I begin with this goal as in routines and how many days i work out? Is there a routine out there that is for beginners? Or is this even possible?!?!? HELPGuys or girls. I just need someone's advice!!!?
The internet can help. Look up bodybuilding programs. You will want to split your work outs into different body parts, Chest, shoulders, legs, back, arms. And work a combination of different ones on different days. Sets and reps vary. Educate yourself. The internet is a great resource, and there are many books on the subject. All you really need is the desire. With that any program will be successful.Guys or girls. I just need someone's advice!!!?
You do not need a trainer. I am not sure if your male or female, i am going to assume male since you want a six pack and that is predominatley a male desire.
I would suggest you focus on weights , but do not neglect cardio .
Do your research online.. read reviews of difrent videos and books that provide exercise routines for you. Invest in a good pair of dumbells, bar, a bench..... it doesnt have to be a sport bench .. a wooden bench or anything similar will do . I assume with your age you cant spend lots of money on weights either so you might want to use things like gallons of water or water weights, or if you can invest in dumbells get the Bowflex adjustable dumbells that will grow with you.
One of the best books i recommend for detailed pictures of weight lifting and that tells you how many reps and sets to do is Body For Life.
review www.bodyforlife.com You can obtain all the infromation on diffrent routines for begginers on there, and they have spreadshetes you can download to keep track of what you are doing, very detailed animation videos that will help guide you in correct positioning and a detailed workout routine.
I would say to start BFL (body for life) will have everything you need, after you feel comfortable with that, or once you want to explore something new, you will know what to look for.
Also, i hear great things about Power 90 Beachbody or that new PX90 , but the new one can be a bit pricey.
Good Luck.
so ya want to be a unit ay. well eat lots of protein and low carb. when it comes to lifting you really need to have some one to teach you so you don't hurt yourself. Push ups, Chin ups, Sit ups and squats is your best bet. you should ask your school P.E teacher he/she should be able to lead you in the rite direction. never over train if you want size. good recovery is definitely necessary. good luck!
take up running.
The basic principles :
- Work a muscle once every 5-7 days
- Keep the workouts to around an hour
- Use a 4-6 rep range for maximum strength and growth
A three-day split workout:
Day One - Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
Day Two - Back, Biceps, and Forearms
Day Three - Legs and Abs
For ab workout: (James Cipriani Newsletter)
A 6-Pack in Time for Summer
During my 12+ years of training people from all walks of life, I know I’ve answered more questions on abdominal training than any other body part. Everybody wants either a tight waistline or those washboard abs, especially in the summer months of shorts and bikini weather.
I want to start off by clearing up a common misconception about ab training. Just performing sit-ups or crunches all day long will not so much to change your midsection. It is very important to combine the proper nutritional program and aerobic exercise with your ab exercises to get that “6-pack” look.
The ab routine that I am going to present is intense and challenging. But I promise the end result will be pure satisfaction. This routine is basically the same one I use when I am getting ready for competition. The only changes are in the off-season, I only train my abs 1-2 times a weeks and go up to 3 ab sessions per week about 12 weeks out. For those who are used to doing their abs last in their workout, I recommend switching things up and doing this ab routine before your regular workout. You will find that not only is this routine a great warm-up, but you will be able to put out 100% effort. If you wait until the end of the workout, that’s fine. Just be prepared to be too tired to put in an all out effort.
Here’s how the program looks…
Exercise #1 - Hanging Leg Raises with knees slightly bent.
8-10 reps twist lift, 8-10 reps forward, 8-10 reps twist right.
Exercise #2 - Floor Crunches with feet elevated on bench.
8-15 reps twist left, 8-15 reps forward, 8-15 reps twist right.
Exercise #3 - Standing Straight Arm Pulldowns (for the serratus).
15 reps with a light weight.
Exercise #4 - Kneeling Rope Crunches.
20 reps with a medium weight.
This ab routine consists of a total of three rounds, each round consisting of four exercises. You are to do each exercise back-to-back with no rest in-between. This workout is super-intense and works great for everyone from top level bodybuilders to beginners.
Start by just doing one round without resting between exercises. Then go up to two rounds the next week, taking a two minute rest between rounds. On week three, try adding an additional round! This killer workout only takes about 10 minutes 3 times a week. Combine this routine with the proper diet and exercise program, and you’ll be stunned at how fast your waistline changes. You’ll develop the type of midsection that will give your physique that polished look - - a look that will garner the respect on the bodybuilding stage as well as the beach! Now go for it!!!
Nothing is impossible. Hire a personal trainer.
