Is this a good routine?

[Boston!]

I do this 4 to 5 days a week
200 crunches (50 x 4)
30-50 pushups (3-5 x 10)
50-100 jumping jacks (1-2 x 50)

I have some serious fat to burn, as I am 5'10 and weigh 180 or so.
Any suggestions, tips, pointers for me
Thanks

It is better than my routine
7 days a week
0 push ups
0 sit ups
0 jumpin jacks
:D

Seriously though any routine you have is better than nothin.
Just keep up a good diet and maybe run a couple miles 2 or 3 times a week.
I have been trying to get into getting back in shape myself but I have found I am to lazy This is the routine I have been thinkin about though.

Week 1
Running
2 miles/day, 8:30 pace
Mon/Wed/Fri
Pushups*
4 sets of 15 pushups
Mon/Wed/Fri
Situps*
4 sets of 20 situps
Mon/Wed/Fri
Pullups*
3 sets of 3 pullups (chin bar)
Mon/Wed/Fri
Swimming**
Swim continuously for 15 min.

As the weeks progress you do a little more. Obviously this is a pretty excessive program for some (including me) but it is a good schedule and somethin routine. better than waking up and trying to figure out what you are gonna do. This program gives a goal.
Here is the complete program http://www.pytlik.com/escape/navyseals2.html

While I sit at my son's computer, I am reading this thread, and watching my 15 year old son do 100 various sit-ups & pull ups & bicep exercises....

I'm tired!

I was thinking the same thing. I'm 5'10", 230 so how much "serious fat do I have to burn"? :eek: :D

^^^^lol I'm also 5'10 and weigh 180 pounds of sexified muscle.

Dang, I am 601/210 and thought I had some serious fat to burn.

It is amazing how your pants shrink when you go to a desk job.

5'10" @ 180lb's is proportional to height and weight. Did you flop that zero and one by mistake? If so, then yeah you do need to lose some weight, but I would not understand the urgency if you are really those other measurements.

I like how you lead off with "180 or so..." :D

Last school year, I was on the wrestling team. Though that was just middle school, I went from a fat 230 pounds to just less than 200 pounds. Wrestling every day for 2 months decreased the fat in my body and increased my neck and back muscles.
It works, I haven't found any conventional exercising that works for me as well as wrestling did. Though after a few bloody ears, noses, and turf toes, I don't really want to do it over again.

Hey, There is nothing wrong with a man with a little meat on his bones. Trust me. The scrawny ones are no good. My father is 6' 0" and weighs in at 220-230. The man just would not look like a man without that extra weight. He would look like some kind of sick high school boy.

for some people, those are just a "maintaining" the body.

5'10 180lbs is a good weight to be at. Just make sure its muscle, and make sure you run. Running is excellent mental training - makes you able to push yourself when you are exhausted.

Then I'm your man! :D Not sure if that's good or bad. :confused:

[Masterfulks]

That routine looks good.

If you find yourself able to do it easy then I'd probably go for more pushups and less sets.

Try working up to a set of 100 for fun.
