4 months ago I was weighting at 235 pounds and my height is 5'7. I started to notice that I starting to get really fat and that I was have a hard time doing things that was easy, walking up the steps, carrying bags etc normal that I always do with ease. So I felt that it was time for a change in my weight. I started too work out and then I got lazy and said fucck it. Then one night when I was walking to a party I notice that I started to have chest pains and cramps.

So I had to turn back home messing up my whole night. Then it hit me that I was fat. I was thinking about the times that I was in high school and how built I was and how boxing kept me in shape. So I decide that this shyt was enough and that I had to lose some weight before it was too late.

I did some research on the internet on training regiments that would be helpful then I was put on to this workout by a marine stationed in Iraq. This training was originally made for people who was going to the marines and needed help getting ready.

I took on this training and I shyt you not it was the most hardest thing that I did in my life. Still I needed this, cause that I was splitting into a hole that I wouldn't be able to get out of. It seem at times that I was going to die and times that I felt good like a blast of fresh air. My Diet was hard also, but with a bowls of special K some baked chicken and turkey burgers I got used to it. Then I learn that cuz of my weight problem my sex performance was suffering due to my stamina sad to say I was getting tried after 5 minutes and those stomach cramps was not helping.

Monday ago I went to the doctor for a check up and I was shocked to find out that I lost 37 pounds bring my weight too 207lbs. Needles to say I was happy that all this training paid off even my doctor gave me props for it. I didn't use no type of diet pills or not fancy sit up machines just didn't the old fashion way I tried to find then website that I got it from to thank the marines, but I can't find it. My ideal weight is to be 180/70 so I have a long way to go so I can't get too happy and loose focus.

Sorry for the long story I just felt like writing and now here is the workout plan I used.





Before each workout be sure to lightly stretch and warm-up for at least 5 minutes.

Monday:

3 sets of the following circuit of exercises:
o Pull-ups - Perform as many as possible. If a single is not possible substitute a flexed arm hang for as long as it can be held.
Rest 1 minute.
o Crunches - Attempt as many as possible, up to 100. Use a slow, controlled tempo.
Rest 1 minute.
o Pushups - Do as many as possible.
Rest 1 minute.


Tuesday:

Run for 1.5 miles at a steady and comfortable pace. Cool down walk for 5 minutes.

Wednesday:

3 sets of the following circuit of exercises:
o Chin-Ups - Perform as many as possible. If a single is not possible substitute a flexed arm hang for as long as it can be held.
Rest 1 minute.
o Crunches - Attempt as many possible, up to 100, done with a quick tempo.
Rest 1 minute.
o Wide Hand Position Pushups - As many as possible.
Rest 1 minute.


Thursday:

* Run for a quarter mile at a quick pace that leaves you winded.
Continue walking for 1 minute.
* Run for a half mile at a fast pace that leaves you winded.
Continue walking for 2 minutes.
* Run for a quarter mile at a quick pace that leaves you winded.
Cool down walk for 5 minutes.



Friday:

3 sets of the following circuit of exercises:
o V-Bar+Pullup - Perform as many as possible. If a single is not possible substitute a flexed arm hang for as long as it can be held.
Rest 1 minute.
o Decline Crunches - Continue to perform until another full rep is not possible.
Rest 1 minute.
o Close Hand Position Pushups - Do as many as possible.
Rest 1 minute.


Saturday:

Walk, hike, or jog at the quickest pace possible to travel either a distance of 3 miles, 5 miles, or 10 miles. Incorporate hills and inclines into the exercise.

Sunday:

3 sets of the following circuit of exercises:
o Pullups - Perform as many as possible. If a single is not possible substitute a flexed arm hang for as long as it can be held.
Rest 1 minute.
o Decline Reverse Crunch - Continue to perform until another full rep is not possible.
Rest 1 minute.
o Push-Ups With Feet Elevated - As many as possible.
Rest 1 minute.


My suggestion that you should take aleast one day off to regain back strength and energy. Sunday was my day I took off and be sure to throw some weight training in to the mix. As time progress the workout will become easy and when it does take it up a notch or when you feel the time is right.


If anyone recognize this workout and know the site can you plz give it to me.

I want to thank the creator.

You only did three excercises per circuit? How much did you weight train on your workout days?

At first I did three then once my body got used to it then I took it up by 2 . As for my weight training I started 60 and now I'm up 120.



Right now I do 5 and as for the crunches I'm still a 3.

I am thinking about taking up circuit training in order to try something different on my quest to slim down. I would probably focus my routine more around weight training since weight training burns calories all day long. I would still run at the end of each circuit for the cardio facet of the circuit. Congrats on the loss of weight.

I've lost around 50 pounds since the start of 2006, but I have been stagnating for awhile now. I started weight training again two weeks ago after not doing it for about a year. I also changed some eating habits I fell into. Plus, I drink water all day and all week, while allowing myself a soda or two on the weekend. I've lost a few pounds so far, and I look better.

Good work homeboy!!!!!:yes: :yes:

I for one lost 50 lbs. off of my 6'6 frame. I used to be 330 but through a workout consisting of calisthenics, weight lifting with sets with medium weight (a weight that I can perform at least 15 reps). I also did a lot of wind sprints and boxed. Example:


Monday:
Treadmill- 2 miles
Pull ups- 8x5
Dips- 10x5
Push ups- 15x5 slow and locked out reps

Weight training

Flat Bench- 15x3 @ 225lbs.
Incline- 15x3 @ 185 lbs.
Dumbbell pull overs- 10x3 100lbs.
Standing Military press- 10x3 @ 185 lbs.
Arnold press- 10x3 @ 55lbs.
Lateral Raises- 10x3 @ 40 lbs.

After that ,I finish with 1 set of pull-ups,dips,and push-ups until I burnout.


I just posted an example, I do this 3 times a week.

The other 3 days I do wind sprints and box( doing calisthenics on these days too)

Sunday is my off day.
