If you have not worked out yet, or if you are not sure of what you are doing, this is a clear cut plan for April that combines both cardio and compound lifts to effectively workout every muscle in your body. Each workout should take about an hour and requires you have access to a gym. The amount of weight for each rep is in addition to the bar itself. So 10 lbs is the bar plus 10 lbs, 0 lbs is the bar alone. If you are just starting, I recommend you only complete these workouts and rest the other days. If you want to workout the other days, I recommend ab work and/or light cardio. (I personally will be doing ab work and taking especially long walks with my dog on my off days.) Do not attempt to lift weights on your off days. It is important that you rest your major muscle groups after a day of heavy lifting, and all of these workouts qualify as heavy lifting.
Couch to 5k Running Plan : You can find the c25k workouts at this website. (c25k : w1d1 means Couch to 5k Week 1 Day 1.)
Below are links to videos with the proper technique for each lift. Always focus on your technique and never sacrifice quality of lifts for quantity.
Deadlifts (When you are doing bar alone with deadlifts, stack freeweights on both sides and rest the bar on them, so it is raised a few inches when you set it down.)
If you are interested in doing this and have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! xx
