my workout schedule plan

[Exponential]

I think I figured out a decent workout schedule. What do you guys think? No real specific goal, just to get in shape.

 

Mon, Wed, Fri:

 

jump-rope for 20 minutes as warmup;

 

stretch;

 

calistinics on every body part i work out for further warmup;

 

lift wieghts (start at whatever wieght i can do at 8 reps max, slowly work my way up to 15 reps, so i build muscle at first, then burn fat as i get higher reps)

 

stretch as cool down;

 

tues, thurs, sat, sun

 

ride bike for 1 1/2 hours for cardio;

 

stretch;

 

ANy suggestions, comments, whatever are appreciated.

What do you do on Sunday?

 

And could you please further explain what you mean by lift weights? What exercises and such?

 

Other than that, it sounds like your gonna spend an hour or two a day training your fitness - that's enough to get in shape.

Oops, bad wording on my part. When I said "every other day", I meant every day that isn't a monday, wednesday, or friday. I'll go back and edit that.

 

As for weight-lifting, I feel stupid for not mentioning which exercise.

 

benchpress,

 

military press,

 

dead lift,

 

squats,

 

curls,

 

The tricep exercise where you hold a dumbell vertically behind your head with both hands, and unbend your arm being careful not to move anything below the elbow.,

 

shrugs,

 

calv work out (forget the name and how to describe it)

 

I tried to pick ones that'd work most major muscle groups and have already been taught how to do with proper form.

 

Btw. Am I making the right decision by bulking some with 8-10 reps before cutting with 12-15? And, is taking a wieght that I can do know more then 8 reps at first on, and then keep lifting it till I hit 15 a good way to time bulking/cutting cycles?

 

The ultimate goal is wieght loss and conditioning since I'm goign to do muay thai and bjj this summer, but I know that muscle mass helps metabolism.

 

Thanks
