    Default Workout

    I wanna start working out, but i don't have any special equipment available to me other then a chin up bar and some 5 pound weights.
    I need a schedule or something i can follow. Keep in mind that this is pretty much my first time working out.
    so, input your advice here. Thanks in advance.
    Edit: oh right, i dont want to become super ripped or anything, just wanna lose some weight, and gain some more muscle, and get rid of these love handles...

    dont think youll be able to do much with 5 lb weights unless your rather skinny.

    whats your conditioning right now? ie. how many pushups do you do, cardio level, etc

    Haha yeah so you should get the abs easy. I say work on getting toned first. Switch up between wide, normal and narrow push-ups, pull-ups, basically all the non-weight workouts you can do.

    Work out 3 days a week, it's enough.

    1st day - Exercise you arm muscles (bicep, tricep etc)
    Since you have 5 pound weights you can do simple curl exercises.

    2nd day - Shoulders, your chin up bar is perfect for shoulder exercises.

    3th day - Legs, squat exercises, running, etc. Run at least 8 min.

    If you ate something then wait at least 1 hour before starting working out and avoid drinking/eating milk products...it can make you feel sick during the exercise.

    It's really important to warm up before starting, you can run for about 8 min and after that stretch you arms, legs, etc.
    And since this is your first time don't push yourself too hard, 2 series of each exercise (for example: 10 pull-ups, take a break, 10 pull-ups again).
    When you are done, take a shower and eat something

    (sorry for my english)
