I'm a 19 year old male, 5'11'', 237.5 lb
While I'm hardly morbidly obese, I could benefit from shedding plenty of pounds. I have a large, football player's build and am relatively well proportioned for a fat guy. If you saw me it'd be obivous that I was overweight, but not somebody you'd want to start a fight with.
I spend a lot of time sitting, whether it's in a college class, my job, or gaming on my computer during my free time; I do't get much exercise. Almost makes me wish my job was to haul boxes or smash rocks for hours.
Anyhow, I want to lose quite a bit of weight, and maybe build up some more muscle as a side benefit, although I'll probably save that for after I get in shape.
During my lunch break at work I walk for 30 minutes, can't run without sweating out of my cloths.
When I arrive home I have been doing ~15-20 minutes of continuous jogging, which is my absolute max at the moment, surprised I can even do it, calves go numb halfway through. I'm not really winded at the end, just hobbling along.
Afterwards I do 100 "uses" of a cardioglide machine I have access to. It's similar to rowing while also working thighs a bit. 100 continuous is about my maximum for one session. It's set to a high resistance.
After that it's 100 continuous jumping jacks. Followed by a cool-down walker for ~10 minutes.
Later at night, before bed, I repete the jogging/cardioglide/jumpingjacks/walk.
Sooo... for one day it sums up to:
30 minutes continuous walking
~15-20 minutes continuous jogging X2
100 uses of cardioglide X2
100 jumping jacks X2
~10 minute cool down walker X2
Is this enough to lose weight effectively? I'm not too worried about building muscle at the moment, I'm already an ox.
