Milk will be hard for me, I guess I'll just have to start making more vegetable side dishes so I have better stuff available to eat.
What about cardio? or will I be so tired after doing all that other stuff that cardio is a distant dream?  |
i love milk and can drink a gallon of whole milk every 24 hours. but lots of cals there and it really not a natural food for us. i would suggest starting with just 1 glass per meal that you want milk. then start trying water with your meals.
this routine will have plenty of cardio in it for you. if you want to run some intervals or jog around the track, no worries but it isn't needed with this. which leads to your next question- you want to do this in its entirety without stopping, all at once.
for instance, the bent-over rows 15x, you want to shoot for a weight that causes you to have to stop aaround 1/2 way to get some energy back, then continue and finish.
that adds the cardio you need, you will see how tough this is. and exercise needs to be in the uncomfortable zone for it to work, so next-
i didn't mention weight amounts and intensity, going to failure, etc.
do not worry about any of that, just exercise as hard as you can and focus on how good you will feel wrapping up knowing you gave it your all at that very time.

Seems very ambitious to me . I cant oomment on the others but I do not think I could to these
Pullups - 25 reps
Pushups - 50 reps

sorry for the confusion, those are the #s to work up to. so in this routine, i do sets of 5-7 pullups until i would reach 25 total, pausing only to catch my breath. it might even be that in the beginning, 25 total reps might be unreachable initially or ever but that is fine imo since the goal is overall health and longevity.
