Hey yall! I'm new to nerdfitness and I jus gotta say, this is amazing! Anyways... I just made myself an at home workout plan and I have no idea if it's any good or what I need to add/remove. ANY advice would be so helpful! Im doing resistance band and 5&10 pound dumbells for equipment. -4 workouts per week. -Plank& yoga challenge everyday. I have two different workouts and my plan is to alternate them. Circuit A: Tricrp extension Seated calf raises Reverse crunch Donkey kick Chest fly Standing abduction Kneeling crunch Lying hamstring curl Elevated glute bridge Pull apart Wall squat Russian twists Lying pullover Lying hip abduction Circuit B: Glute kickbacks Seated clam Bicycle Superman Tricep dips Pull-through Lying windshield wipers Bent over row Bent over reverse fly Sumo squat calf raise Lying oblique crunch Front/side raise Fire hydrants Bicep curl Is that too many exercises?? Should I split it into 3 separate circuits? Im planning to do repetition circuit and going to go off of my first workout to see where I am physically. Pleaseeeee if anyone has some advice I would so appreciate it. I can't wait to get this started and get back into shape.

hi all, This will be my first challenge as a Ranger. My goals for the next 6 weeks may seem more warrior based but in the long run i want to be a Ranger, so might as well start as one. As it stands i have all ready lost about 17 kg and still have about 35 to go. I am currently in a 8 week challenge at my gym for the chance to win $1000. I have 2.5 weeks to go. I have made a spreadsheet to track all progress with automatic grading for everything. I had some spare time at work. MAIN QUESTS: 1) Get my calories (those little buggers that sit in your closet and makes your cloths smaller) under control and hit my macros. I will be tracking calories and macros on a daily basis and will give a grade on a weekly basis using averages for that week. 2) Work out 6 times a week 3 days heavy weights with kb circuit at the end and light recovery cardio on rest days, with 1 full day rest. I will record each workout and do weekly measurements. Tape and i have ordered BF callipers which should arrive before the challenge starts. Workouts will generally consist of dead lifts, squats, then 2 push and 2 pull upper body exercises. KB workout will vary depending on how i feel. Cardio will just be slow sessions on bikes elliptical trainers and walking up to an hour long SIDE QUESTS: 1) To get better organised in general. 2) Try and finish some over due work around the house. 3) Increase cardio intensity and duration. 4) Not to weigh myself daily. If i can stick to the above I should see good results by the end. I am not setting an amount i want to lose or get to just trying to focus on getting everything to fall into place and the body I end up with will be a result of what i do. If that makes sense. Also just as a side note. Long term goals is to complete tough mudder/spartan race, run a marathon and maybe do a triathlon. No time limit on these ones. I will publish all starting information and a current pic on sunday.
