It really depends on what your goals are.
If you're like me and not happy with your weight you want to focus mainly on cardio. There are two forms of cardio exercise: aerobic and anaerobic. To keep it simple you can think of it as either constant but steady exercise or short high intensity bursts of exercise respectively. So aerobic would be good if you play something like soccer or basketball where you're not really getting any breaks, anaerobic would be good if you play hockey or football where you're going hard for a lot of short bursts with breaks in between.
Aerobic: Swimming, running outside or on a treadmill, using an elliptical (this is what I do because I have issues with my achilles tendon).
Anaerobic: The best way to do this is probably with High Intensity Interval Training (45 seconds working out really hard and then a 15 second break). I'm not specifically recommending this video but it's an example of something you could workout along with to get you started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edIK5SZYMZo
If you're looking to build muscle I'd still recommend doing cardio at least 2 or 3 times a week. There are videos and things you can lookup to learn how to lift weights but I really think there's no replacement for having someone teach you in person. It's really important to learn not to push yourself too hard when weight lifting to prevent injury, how to properly increase weight during a workout, etc. If you're in high school/college try seeing if your school offers any weight training classes or after school programs. Otherwise I'd recommend trying to get a couple sessions with a person trainer and asking them to teach you the vitals of weight lifting.

No but I love fittin your dick in my mouth (I heard this joke every week from our goalie senior year)
RE: SHL Works Out - GCool - 06-10-2021
Neat. I hope to get some motivation here soon.
My baby's 6 weeks old and is draining nearly 100% of my post-work energy. I lost about 20 pounds before she arrived, and over the last 2-3 months I've probably gained it all back. I've been afraid to step on a scale. I'll have to come up with tangible goals and stuff in the next week or two. Maybe I'll treat myself to a long, hard look at my fitness life on my first Father's Day.

Hi everyone. Here's my lifting routine.
I do a Push, Pull, Legs workout, doing each one twice a week. Studies show it's ideal to hit each muscle group twice a week.
Day one: Pull
Reverse grip lat pulldowns: 3x12
V-bar lat pulldowns: 3x12
Dumbbell rows: 4x12
Rope lat pressdowns: 4x12
Face pulls: 4x12
Straight bar curls: 4x12
Hammer curls: 4x12
Single dumbbell curls (grab the dumbbell with both hands on the side and hold it vertically): 4x12
Day two: Push
Barbell shoulder press: 3x12
Bench press: 3x12
Incline press: 3x12
Decline flies: 4x12
Pec-deck flies: 4x12
Lateral raises: 6x15
Overhead triceps extension: 4x12
Rope triceps pressdown: 4x12
Triceps kick-backs: 4x12
Day three: Legs
Lunges: 3x30
Close stance hack squat (feet together): 3x15
Close stance hack squat (feet in V pattern): 3x15
Glute bridges: 4x12
Hip abductor: 4x12
Leg curls: 4x12
Leg extension: 4x12
Calf raises: 4x20
Pull day 2 is the same for back with different curls worked in.
Push day 2 is the same for chest and shoulders with different triceps stuff worked in.
Leg day 2 is the same as Leg day 1.
I obviously work out strictly for hypertrophy, and couldn't care less about strength.

This dude lifts.
Real talk though, if anyone is extrinsically motivated and needs someone to work out with "virtually" so they feel obligated to or anything hit me up.
RE: SHL Works Out - PremierBromanov - 06-10-2021
Getting into shape is like 60-90% diet, depending on who you talk to. personally, that's the hardest part. Chipotle is so good.
I used to go to boxing classes pre-pandemic. Think of it as glorified zumba. We're really punching bags and shit, but not in a ring and not sparring. just following an hour-long workout. But, it did give me a good foundation of things that are helpful to workout WITHOUT weights. Body-weight exercises can be powerful and all you need is space to do it.
Jumping Jacks are a great way to strengthen your feet/calfs while getting some cardio in
Squats are a great way to strengthen your lower body (regular, forward, back, sides, holds)
High knees are a great way to "sprint" in place to get a sweat going and warm up. They're also tough on the feet at first.
lifting weights is a great way to target specific muscles, but body weight exercises and cardio can do worlds of wonders for your actual physical strength and ability. It's good to combine the two, because your stabilizing muscles and ligaments need to be strengthened as well. If all you do is bench-press, you may see yourself struggling to carry something compared to someone who engages his whole body (like a laborer).
Lastly, do it for yourself. Getting in shape feels great, even if that shape is only slightly better than it was before.
RE: SHL Works Out - takethehorizon - 06-10-2021
Don't forget to hit legs people! Nothing funnier than seeing a big upper body dude walking around the gym with legs smaller than my fiancé.
I actually just started squatting again since college. Holy shit -couldn't walk for 3 days, almost fell down the stairs on numerous occasions.

ya this is definetly 100 percent right the most important way to work out is to do cardio as much as possible and work out your own body weight. It's not how much weight you lift at the gym that makes you strong, its how often you can lift.
RE: SHL Works Out - Otrebor13 - 06-10-2021
With the gyms opening back up here, I'm definitely going to be using this thread for info and may even hit some of you guys up. Definitely need to get in better shape and my cardio/stamina is absolutely atrocious. Need to improve it and lose a significant amount of weight, and the goal is to do so by the end of 2021.
