this is the subforum for me, need some help with improving my day to day workout routine

i've never been the type to go for huge gains, just focused on toning muscle and trimming fat. Not looking to add alot but if you have suggestions of basic workouts that don't consume a lot of time and fulfill my needs, let me know please!! Normally work in 3-4 sets of 10-12 for actual lifts

M/W/F:
100 Push Ups
200 Situps
30min-1h on bike (or same amount of swimming)
Bench
Decline
military press

T/Thurs:
30min-1h on bike (or swimming)
Squats
Lunges (including weights)
calve lifts (on machine)

if you work your chest, you have to work your back

recommend stuff like lat pull, pull ups, rowing movements, chin ups, etc

also 100/200 reps of something seems a bit like a waste of energy/time with little benefit in terms of improving your physique, try adding weight to your situps/pushups if you want to do them and lower the rep range to 10-12 aswell

rest seems alright if you like what youre doing, if you decide to focus on gaining mass/strength, you can just seach for routines on the web, dont forget to add in a couple back exercises though, it'll avoid creating muscular imbalances which might mess up your posture on the long run

yeah i have noticed that in my swimming that back tends to be tighter after a good swim so i think doing some work on that might improve overall performance and lessen fatigue



i figured as much with the pushups and stuff but its just something i do before i wake up and go to bed lol:
50 in the morning / 50 at night for pushups
and
100 in the morning/ 1 at night for situps


thanks for the help man!
