I was just wondering if anyone whose more experienced when it came to exercise could give me some advice on my workout routine. I've been trying to set a routine that doesn't require any weights or anything (though i'll probably break down and buy at least some dumbells and a bench once i find a decent deal on craigslist) and this is what I've come up with. I'm doing this mainly for overall health, with a side goal of eliminating the small pouch of fat on my stomach which has stubbornly refused to go away. Recently I've also been a lot more conscious of nutrition and have been attempting to eat more healthily and completely avoid fast foods.

Mon/Fri : Upper body/Abs

Pushups
Crunches
Lying Leg Raises
Back-ups
Russian Twists
Dips
Bridge Vacuum

Weds/Sun : Lower Body

Lunges
One-Leg Squats
Calf Raises
Leg Lifts
+ 15-20 Mins cardio (running, biking)

Tues/Thurs/Sat

30-45 mins cardio (running, biking)

^^ I don't think I've yet made it past 30 mins of running yet before the urge to get back home/give my lungs a break is too great, but I can aspire to 45

This is all in addition to a set of stretches before/after working out and I *usually* warm-up before running with some pushups/crunches/jumping jacks

Thanks,
