So after a few weeks of looking and trying, then taking other people advice I have found my new routine for the next 4 weeks. I'm sorry its long winded. I'm just hoping that you all will keep me right and going at it. I've completed week 1 this week. Few tweeks along the way as I find new ways of doing certain things. Walking and running I would like to build up to at leat 10/12k. Weights wise I was surprised at how much I felt comfortable lifting in certain parts and not so much in others.

One thing is for sure tho. I am sore lol

And at the weekend you rest 😂😂😂. Great detailed plan, if you are still finding you are tried and hungry you might have to adjust the intensity as you build up, but you are going to get strong with the break down you have made. Good luck.

Thankyou. I may break it down a bit more. Keep legs to just legs. Sore today. My shoulders are burning. Definitely worked them on Friday. Wee 2k run with the daughter today. Fun run coming up.
