Jogging Once A week
These reasons make me do jogging more important, So I go on saturday morning to the park, Do some streching and start jogging slowly. 20 mins jogging on tracks are equivalent to 1 hr in trademill. The fresh air I breath in helps me a lot. The stamina is less but it gets back the metabolic rate high and lose the fat gained in recent days.

All you need is an exercise mat, dumb bells and skipping rope for a start. A comfortable tee shirt, track pant, sports shoes with a good cushion at the bottom, a hand towel and a bottle of water is all the gear you need.
Warm up
All workouts should begin with a few minutes of warming up. Start with joint rotations which help lubricate them. First clockwise, and then anticlockwise. Two sets to a count of ten. Start rotations with the foot, then move to the hip, trunk, shoulder, wrist and neck. Skip for 5-10 minutes at a medium speed.
Workout (15 counts, three sets each)
Biceps: Push-ups, bicep curls, hammer curls, concentration curls
Triceps: Back dips, close-grip push-ups, dumb bell extensions, dumb bell kick-back
Chest: Push-ups, flat bench dumb bell press, dumb bell flys, pull over
Back: Pull-ups, dumb bell rowing,one-arm dumb bell rowing and pull over lying down

Standing Cable Crossover (middle pectoral)

Attach a handle to each side of a high-cable pulley. Grab each handle with an overhand grip and step slightly in front of the imaginary line between the pulleys. Step forward with one foot and bend slightly forward at the waist.

With your elbows slightly bent, bring your hands forward and down, maintaining a wide arc by acting as if you are hugging a barrel. Bring your hands together, flex your chest, and return to the starting position. Repeat.
