can you give me a good gym workout to maximum weight loss?

HI guys,

I'm going to be in the gym for almost 2 hours a day. I want a workout that can help me lose 3 lbs a week. Our gym has almost everything a gym has, the only thing we don't have right now is a stair climber :(

I am 15 years old

weight 177 pounds, I'm ready to change that no matter how crazy the workouts are.

I am 5 feet 2 inches tall.

I have gotten a physical and my doctor says im good for any intensity workout program.

I can lift weights and do cardio i have 2 hours a day 7 seven days a week can you please hit me up with a great workout plan to lose 3 lbs a week (not counting water weight lolz)

Just to make myself clear im "A" ok with any intensity program that can be done in 120-150 minutes.

MY diet has been set up and is very good im eating 4-5 small meals a day at 300 calories

and im making sure to get lean protein and low fat.

    One of the absolute best exercises you can do is rowing. It is a non-weight bearing exercise that also works out all of the major muscles (some people say it's only legs or only arms, but it works out the arms, legs, core, back, shoulders, etc.) and gives you a great cardio workout, in addition to burning bunches and bunches. If you have a rowing machine it's definitely something you'll want to try. A great interval workout we do at my crew practice is rowing hard for 300 meters on the machine, then rowing very slowly for 30 seconds (for a rest), and then repeat that 10 times, take a couple minutes for a break, and then repeat the whole thing twice more. This lasts around an hour if you are pulling hard.

    Another workout we do is we row 2 kilometers, take a 3 minute break, and then repeat that four or five times. This lasts about an hour.

    Keep in mind, it can be hard to figure out the correct way to row on the machine without help (doing it wrong can cause injury), so if you can I'd ask a trainer or someone like that for some help.

    Spinning on a stationary bike while mixing up the incline and speed gets your heart rate up there and works out your legs in particular. If you can take a spinning class; they are totally awesome for getting in shape and losing weight. High impact aerobics classes and kickboxing classes also. If your gym offers them take them!

    Running is, of course, a great way to get some exercise and build up some lean leg muscles. Try taking a nice warmup jog (treadmill or outside doesn't matter) for 10 minutes or so. Then start running and try to go three miles. A way to boost your gain is to try adding some sprinting intervals. After maybe half a mile of running try adding 10 seconds or so of sprinting every 30 seconds to a minute. It will really get your heart-rate up.

    Of course, weight lifting is a fantastic way to build muscle, which means it's easier to burn fat. You don't want to stick with just one workout forever though, so here are two good weight lifting workouts that you can use. We use these, or similar ones, frequently during my sports teams practices.

    Workout A:

    For all of these do them for 6 minutes, with a one minute break every two minutes, before switching to the next exercise. This should last for about 55 minutes.

    -Bench Pull (safer then a bench press because you are lying on your stomach pulling up on a weight instead of on your back pressing it up. This means you don't have the chance to drop it on yourself)

    -Squat while holding weight

    -Leg lifts

    -Tri-dips

    -Wall sit while holding weight

    -Upwards row

    -Overhead lunges (you do lunges while holding a medicine ball (I'd recommend 6 or 8 pounds) over your head.

    -Bicycle (the ab exercise, not actual bicycling :)

    Workout B:

    Do each of the exercises for a minute and a half, with a 30 second break in between. After you’ve gone through them all once repeat two more times. This should last about 55 minutes.

    -Jumpies (Squats with jumps)

    -Pushups

    -Squats

    -Military Press

    -Bicep Curls

    -Rhythm Comps

    -Burpies

    -Downward row (if you can manage pull-ups then do them instead)

    -Jumping Jacks

    Here's an idea for a week long workout that will really burn calories, build muscle, and get rid of fat:

    -Monday: Rowing machine interval workout; 3 mile run (if you can go 3 miles in at least 30 minutes make it four miles) with 10 minute warm-up and 10 minute cooldown

    -Tuesday: Stationary bike for 45-60 minutes; Workout A; Jog for the rest of the two hours

    -Wednesday: Rowing machine 2 kilometer workout; 3 or 4 mile run w/ warm-up and cooldown

    -Thursday: Stationary bike for 45-60 minutes; Workout B; jog for the rest of the two hours

    -Friday: Rowing machine interval workout or 2 kilometer workout; 3 or 4 mile run w/ warm-up and cooldown

    -Saturday: Pick a cardio machine to work out on for an hour; Workout A

    -Sunday: Your choice of rowing, cardio, weight lifting

    If you can take a few classes at your gym (again, I’d recommend kickboxing, high impact aerobics, or spinning) then go ahead and take those and just do an hour long weight lifting workout after, or a running workout if your muscles feel too tired. If you don’t want to go to the gym every day a quick workout you can do at home (only 40 minutes) that burns up to 700 calories is the ‘Fat Burning Kickboxing Workout for Dummies’ DVD. It’s relatively cheap and works wonderfully!

    Don’t feel worried to take a day or two off instead of going every single day. My crew team works out five or six days a week but we always get at least one day off to recuperate. If you have any injuries then make sure it’s safe to do the weight lifting and rowing machine workouts before you start. Good luck!

    I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

    The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

    If you should be a basketball playerand you need your game to be more entirely you then have to leap larger, really jump higher with 9 to 15 inches with the aid of this program https://tr.im/2udNf , the Vert Shock program.

    There are many basketball people available who share the same purpose and want to improve their vertical leap enough to ultimately manage to dunk and you can certainly do that in just 8 week with the Vert Shock program.

    The workouts do not require any large weight-lifting and a lot of the teaching includes weight exercises, leaps, and sprints, occasionally you'll use a basketball and all your progress will soon be available in the exercise sheets that you can take out with you in your mobile or pill, or you are able to just obtain the PDF's and print them on paper.

    With Vert Shock the dunk only appear easy.

    It sounds like you're already taking good steps to being pretty healthy. This is what I do at home, so it doesn't require much equipment.

    Sprint on treadmill for 5 minutes

    Squats: 20 reps

    Jump rope: 10 minutes

    Planks: 1 minute intervals/ 5 minutes

    Jog for 10 minutes

    Sprint for 5 minutes

    Repeat twice

    Hope it helps!

    Brightly coloured turmeric not merely makes your curries taste fab, nonetheless it contains curcumin, an active ingredient that stops working high-protein dishes, burns fat and holds back the growth connected with new fat tissue.
