fitness question

ok, once again it´s spring and i´ve started traning once again (yes, i know i shouldn´t even stop, but winters are so fucking cold here)

anyway i want to know if the way i´m doing it makes sence or if it´s too little to be effective. i want to get rid of body fat and gain muscles. i don´t want to look like a body builder better trained biceps would be good as well as a sixpack (oh, it´s so far from existing) instead of my slight beer belly.
anybody here who knows something about this?

i start with 30 to 45 minutes of running.

then

3 X 10 push ups

followed by

125 sit ups (not all at once, i start with 5 pause, then 10 pause, then 15 ... up to 25 and then go back to 5)

then

i lift an 8 kilo weight 125 times per arm (same way as the sit ups 5, 10, 15...)

then stretching
that´s it.

I'd go to a gym if I were you. You're definitely not working out all your muscle groups.

You need access to a squat rack or a leg-press machine. Find out how much weight you can squat once (after a warmup and Without crashing!!!) then train with about 60-80% of this weight. (I could squat 185lb a few times in a row three years ago. Nice considering I weighed 110lbs at the time!) Periodically check your 1-rep max-weight limit, as this number tends to go up after a while...

Oh, and make sure you have access to your honey afterwards. I don't know about you, but getting my muscles all pumped up from weight training is one of the quickest ways to get me horny and wanting sex!

LOL! Masturbation works pretty good as well. Only works if you got quick access to either your home or a nice lockable hiding spot...

yeah, and it improves the right arm´s strengh as well. masturbation is nothing but extended training.

Your running seems good to me but I would suggest going to the gym or getting weight lifting equiptment to work more of your muscles. You are missing a lot of them with how you are working out currently.

I also suggest you go to the elite fitness board

Run enough and you won't need to do anything else with your legs except stretch.

Don't forget to stretch before running, as well.

Dude, you're supposed to switch hands or (for a big 'un) use both at once, sillyboi! LMAO

Stretching when your muscles are cold is a bad idea.

Try the Bean Exercise plan

Takes 2 Hours out of your day burns between 1,000-3,000 Calories depending on how hard you push yourself

5 Minutes of Warm-up before each run
30 Minutes of Walking/Running, Right after you get up or sometime before 10 AM
30 Minutes of Walking/Running Right before you settle in for the night(Some-time before 9PM and after 4PM)
High Noon, 40 Minutes of Push-ups pull ups, Sit-ups and whatever else you want to do to work your other muscle groups

The key with the runing is to pick a direction, Run that way for 15 Minutes
If your running instead of walking, obviously you go further, If you walk the 15 minutes and run back its less distance but its a psychological trick to make exercise less mind-numbing
