This is a workout routine I did when I started to drop weight. (I'm still High School, I'm a Junior now)

This is what I did to drop from 368.2lbs to 283lbs by the end of this summer, (but since shoulder injury, I'm now 290's) It took two years to drop it, 05-06, and 06-07 School years.

The objective is TOTAL amount of reps, not how much you can do at one time. But the TOTAL reps you put in. The higher your PT level, the higher phase you can start your self. Each phase should be atleast two weeks before going to next phase.

Phase I
Mon/Wed/Fri
Push-ups 80 (20 reg, 20hands in, 20 arms wide, 20w/ legs on table, or chair)
Sit-ups 50
Crunches 100
Squats 50
Flutters 20 (4 count excersize)
Planks 20 seconds front, left, and right.
legs raises 30 seconds
Run 3 min.
Sprint 25M, over back over, one time.

Tue/Thu
Walk 3 miles, if possible, NO stopping (and trust me, if a 300+ lb fat *** can do it, **** YEAH you can do it.)

Phase II Increase everything by 20, but the planks down.
example:
M/W/F
Push-ups 100 (25 reg, 25 hands in, 25 arms wide, 25 feet on chair or table)
sit-ups 70
crunches 120
squats 70
flutters you go 30
planks 35 seconds, each side, and front
leg raises, 40 seconds
run 5 min
Sprint, 25M, over back over 2X

T/T
4 mile walk.


And increase gradually, as shown.

Reason why I don't go back onto this, is because my upper body isn't at phase one level... Which is why I don't just go back to this, but I thought some DEPs etc. may find interest in this, and for those who may be overweight/want to drop a few pounds, I dropped 80lbs in two years from this phase plan.

edited to include:

Final notes, celery and Apples will be big parts of your diet, every meal you eat, eat it with an apple, or a piece of celery, because they are negative calories.

And also, stay away from breaded meats of every kind, deep fried foods, and if possible, eat a salad prior to every meal, IF possible. If not, than eat any forms of veggies/fruits prior to main meal, and drink a large glass of water...

Rice is also good, because the above is mostly for filler.

another edit: Get a weighted backpack if you'd like, to make walking 3+ miles more difficult

Since I made this, I've built muscle to weight at 306lbs

Leonard,

Congrats on starting a fitness program. 300lbs is alot of weight for a kid to carry. I hope your a 6'6 NFL lineman time not a 5'9 pudge? You have plenty of time to drop another 100-130 lbs by the time you graduate high school. 2 a days may be in order. Eat between 1400-1500 calories, and boost your cardio if your only walking 4 miles kick it up to 15 min mile pace (1 hr). If you do as much as you say your ready to start jogging, run/walk, or flat out running 2-3 miles. I recommend weight watchers diet you'll cut a hundred pounds easily within a year w/o the exercise...with it you'll be a buck seventy-five in no time! Good luck and keep at it! Remember it is no mountain for a hill climber:D Hope you stick with it!

Funny thing is, that is the start up...

I can do WWWAAAAYYYY more than what's on there right now...

I'm 6'4''

And I walk at a 14 min mile pace, but currently working on running distance...

And also... My body isn't physically capable of going below 240lbs... (To get down to that would be to go to a **** Death Camp, actual joke my doctor made...) Because of my muscle mass... (I'm pretty bulky... just with a bit of a beer belly)

And the numbers for reps etc. etc... are TOTAL... You don't have to do 'em all at once, just gotta make sure at the end of the workout, you get all the reps in...

Leonard,

Good for you! Trust me if you join the military they will get your weight down quick, fast, and in a hurry. What is your BF%? Weight watchers would be ideal for you. I guarantee if you followed your points you could drop a 100lbs easily within a year. Anyways, congrats on starting a PT program keep up the good work! :D

I recommend adding diamond pushups into your workout.
