Suggestions wanted...

Well, I just wanted to know how could I organise myself If i just have 2 days for exercises? My problem areas are my legs. Well im 70Kg and 5.8" tall. Im normal neither fit nor fat.. you can say closer to "fit".. Due to uni and studies I hardly find time to exercise now.
How should I go about organsing myself with the exercises? Should i limit myself to only cardio? I mean just jog out for an hour or so? Or should i include weights too? but how will I fit all the muscle groups in just 2 days?
I was thinking of :
Day 1 - Upper part of the body - Bi/tri and chest
Day 2 - Legs, abs and shoulders

Limiting all this to just 3 types of exercises only? making 9 exercises per day..
Will this even make a difference? My diet is not very clean but I avoid fatty stuff..
Drop in the suggestions, Im waiting !

nota bene

I'd in no way be able to fit in my whole body on two days, the last time I worked all muscle groups at the gym it took 4 hours... Since I love training I'd do way too much on the days I'd train if I'd only train 2days/week, so I really would advise you to find more time (and well I know it is almost impossible).

IF you really have to do all your training in two days, then I'd try to do cardio in the morning and weights in the evening or something like that, I mean you definitely need both kinds of exercise.

Hmm...I don't feel I'm being very helpful, but if it is something specific you want to ask me, do so - I might be able to answer=)

Go to the gym and speak to a personal trainer.

Personally I'd see a personal trainer. They can assess you and structure an excercise regime better suited to your needs, wants and abilities.

Total body training is definitely the way to go.

All you need is 1hour in the morning

5 mins stretching all major muscle groups (very important)

30 mins jogging or some effective cardio vascular exercise

5 mins of press ups (switch between narrow, normal and wide to work your chest and shoulders)

5 mins of situps for your abs

5 mins for chinups to build shoulder and arms, switch between under and overarm

5 mins for squats, preferably with weight but hey if your a beginner whatever your comfortable with

5 mins cool down stretch, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to reduce injurys

This advice is assuming you wish to get fit and not to look like some predator, that can very well bench 300-400lbs but cant complete a CFT (conbat fitness test) which i highly recommend for building stamina and will power

Hope this helps

ps you only need to do this 3 times a week if your not a pro athlete or military, this will be more than enough to get you fit and keep you fit
