Twice a week workout schedule - any suggestions for routines?

People of Grapevine, how do you maintain (or try to maintain) a regular workout routine. How often do you workout and what do you do.

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into? Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

As a newbie need some serious advice about what things we need to take care if we want to lose 20kgs. Also need some best vegetarian diet preferences. Like I’m so confused in between cardio and muscle building. Like everyone are coming up with random advice like concentrate on muscle and strength the fat will be loss automatically. So guys plz help me

Picture: After 4 months of DUP, my progress. Alright, so I used DUP—Daily Undulating Periodization. DUP is all about varying the intensity and volume of your workouts throughout the week, not only to avoid plateaus but also to boost muscle growth and strength. I tweaked my strength training days so I was hitting different rep ranges and intensities. Let's break it down. Weekly Schedule with DUP: Monday: Upper Body Strength Training (Heavy) - Warm-Up: 10 minutes (dynamic stretching, light cardio) - Bench Press: 4 sets of 4-6 reps (Heavy Weight) - Bent Over Rows: 4 sets of 4-6 reps (Heavy Weight) - Shoulder Press: 3 sets of 6-8 reps - Pull-Ups/Assisted Pull-Ups: 3 sets of 4-6 reps (Weighted if possible) - Dumbbell Bicep Curls: 3 sets of 8-10 reps - Tricep Dips: 3 sets of 8-10 reps (Weighted if possible) - Cool-Down: 10 minutes (static stretching) Tuesday: Cardio/HIIT - No change here. The plan is solid for burning fat and improving endurance. Wednesday: Lower Body Strength Training (Moderate) - Warm-Up: 10 minutes (dynamic stretching, light cardio) - Squats: 4 sets of 8-10 reps (Moderate Weight) - Deadlifts: 4 sets of 8-10 reps (Moderate Weight) - Lunges: 3 sets of 12-15 reps per leg - Leg Press: 3 sets of 12-15 reps - Hamstring Curls: 3 sets of 8-10 reps - Calf Raises: 3 sets of 12-15 reps - Cool-Down: 10 minutes (static stretching) Thursday: Active Recovery (Yoga/Stretching) - 30 minutes focusing on flexibility and relaxation. Crucial for recovery and mobility. Friday: Full Body Strength Training (Light) - Warm-Up: 10 minutes (dynamic stretching, light cardio) - Clean and Press: 4 sets of 8-10 reps (Light Weight) - Deadlifts: 3 sets of 12-15 reps (Light Weight) - Pull-Ups: 3 sets of 8-10 reps (Assisted if needed) - Squats: 3 sets of 12-15 reps (Light Weight) - Push-Ups: 3 sets to failure - Plank: 3 sets of 60 seconds - Cool-Down: 10 minutes (static stretching) Saturday: Cardio/HIIT - Same as Tuesday. Keep the heart rate up and metabolism fired. Sunday: Rest/Active Recovery (Light Walk) - Perfect for shaking off any residual fatigue and resetting for the upcoming week. Nutrition Plan: - No changes here. Balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Tracking Progress and Tips for Success: - Follow the same method for tracking progress and stay consistent with your workouts and nutrition. - Rest and recover. The varied intensity will be demanding, so take recovery seriously. - Form and technique are non-negotiable. Stick to proper forms to prevent injuries. - Keep the right mindset. Stay positive and trust the process. This variation with DUP will keep your body guessing and change your physique.
