Recently I have decided that I want to get back into my workout/running routine. I have sort of come up with a system that I try to follow and have been doing for about a month now. What I’m trying to do is get a full workout from my home. I don't really want to work out at a fitness club for a variety of reasons.

I also feel I can get a pretty good workout from my own basement.

I have a variety of dumb bells, bench press and treadmill which I think is sufficient to do what I want.

I just want to run my routine by you guys so you can add your comments about whatever.

The plan is to work out 5X a week. Pretty much Mon-Fri although I usually miss one or two days for various reasons. Is 5X too much?

How I have it set up now is usually a 2 mile run on the treadmill at anywhere from 6.6-7 MPH which comes in at 8-9 mile minute. I did one mile one day just to see what I could get to and I did 1 mile in about 7:45. I still had juice in the tank so I’m guessing I might be able to do 7 flat right now. I'm not really sure where I should be, or what is a good mile time.

After that each day I alternate upper and lower body.

Upper body workout:
-2 mile run
-10 dumbbell curls
-Set of 10 on the bench-press
-10 pushups
-10 for triceps
-10 dumbbell flies

I do this routine 4X.

Lower body:
-2 mile run
-10 dead lifts
-10 lunges
-10 Squats
-15 Situps

Repeat 4X.

So I’m looking for some input on what I’m missing or could possible add because I know I’m probably missing something, and also general comments on the routine.

Thanks.
