Gym Plan 3 x a Week

panthro · 11 Jan 2016 at 21:08

Hey guys, I've just joined the gym next to work and am planning to go 3 times a week during lunch for around an hour per session. I want to do a mixture of weights and cardio. The gym has kettle bells, which I enjoy using, plus a full range of free weights and machines.
I'm not too fussed about doing masses of cardio as I play squash and run on other days. Can anyone recommend me some exercises or routines to do for 3 x a week please? I usually just go and see what I feel like but think I should be doing something more structured. I want to burn fat rather than build muscle or bulk up. Any advice would be appreciated, cheers!

Thanks guys, just looked into stronglifts. Never heard of it but just installed the app on my phone. Heading down to the gym in a minute so will see if they have everything required.

EDIT - left my towel at home

will go back tomorrow

This was enough to stop you working out? Good luck maintaining the "New Year, New You"

I'm at work, hardly going to go back to work without showering, sweating my knackers off and killing everyone with BO.

The gym has all the equipment for the stronglifts 5x5 work out. It's also dead during lunch breaks so from next week I'll begin. Thanks for suggesting mrthingyx. Anything I need to know before starting that's not pointed out on the website?

Why are you waiting till next week, do it now!

Loads of people are on Stronglifts here (myself included), it's a really simple but good program.

The gym is at my work place and I work a 9 day fortnight. Not really practical to do a 40 odd mile round trip for when I'm not at work.

Watched the vids, read the threads and will be starting tomorrow, cheers
