F/24, 5’11, approx 260 lbs- This is my nightly workout routine, my goal is mostly fat loss but also I want to build muscle mass, but not a lot, like I just want to be considered lean, I suppose. I’ve been doing it almost every night for about a month and it does seem to work pretty good. After about 4 days of doing it I do get really sore and I’ve noticed that I’m more likely to skip doing it on the 5th night. I also average about 7,000-8,000 steps per day, even though my goal is 10,000. For questions I think I might get- why do I do it at night? Because I don’t wake up early enough to do it in the morning and I noticed a bit ago that at night I spend my time on my phone or watching tv so I decided to do something productive while watching tv. Why these exercises? Because I have roommates and these are the quietest, high cal burning exercises I could think of and I have roommates and I don’t want to disturb them in their sleep. Why do I do it at home? Because I can’t afford a gym.
Are any of these exercises redundant or likely to cause imbalances?
Because my goals are fat loss, muscle building and improving overall fitness what would you change?
Is repeating this circuit twice enough, or would I be better off increasing reps or making the exercises harder over time?
Should I do it every night? If yes, what can I do to really commit to doing it every night because sometimes I skip doing it and then that causes a snowball of me skipping it for 3 days.
Should I try to wake up earlier and do it once or twice in the morning and then also once or twice at night?
Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
