It's been ages since I've gone to a gym. We recently moved to this apt and it has a basic gym. No one is using it. It's not bad but equipment and space are pretty limited. I went in today and used the treadmill little bit, and being empty felt like my own personal gym. I want to make use of whatever limited equipments available to come up with an exercise regimen. And that's what I'm here for, seeking advice.
Cardio:
2 - Treadmill
1 - Stepper
1 - Bicycle
Weights:
1 - Dumbbell rack (dumbbell pairs from 1kg - 10kgs)
1 - Adjustable bench (flat/incline, no barbell holder)
1 - Olympic Mens barbell (~20kgs metal bar)
1 - Olympic Womens barbell (~15kgs metal bar)
1 - Smaller straight bar comparable in length to EZ curl bar
3 - sets of weight plates (20kgs, 15kgs, 10kgs)
I know this may not be much but is good enough to get going. The barbells are sitting on the floor now. I might buy them a flat bench with a barbell holder and some additional sets of weight plates at a later date. But for now this has to make do. I intend doing weights and cardio alternate days. Cardio is pretty much straightforward. It's the strength training routines that I need help with. Feel free with your suggestions on combinations of strength exercises that could be done using the above setup.
I would imagine doing weights 3 days a week focussing different muscle groups. I've a weak lower back. I'd appreciate any specific exercises that would help with that.
Thanks.
