    Wrong forum.

    How many days a week can you train?

    Do you have access to weights?

    Do you have a place to run thats close by?

    What have you been doing sofar? (MA, lifting, running, etc.)

    What are your goals?

    You could just try doing crossfit? www.crossfit.com

    Other then that, without more info I dont know what else to say haha.

    If you want to put on size and strength and you are a newbie maybe try a 5x5 lifting program? Bill Starr 5x5 for example.

    You could allways set yourself up with a simple 3 day a week, 45 minute long weight training regime. Many benifits.

    Look into Peripheral Heart Action:

    This stuff is great and a real killer on the cardio. Works on the principle of doing an upperbody exercise, immediately followed by a lower body exercise, then upper, then lower, then finish with intense cardio. Repeat that x 3. The heart has to work overtime to pump blood from lower to upper body (vascular shunt) and a great workout can be achieved in minimal time.

    An example routine would be:

    Bench press
    Squats
    Pull-ups
    Deadlifts
    3-5 minutes on rower or treadmill as intense as you can make it. Skipping or running can be used if not in a gym environment.

    Perform all of the weighted exercises with 12 reps at around 60-70% of your 1 rep max. There is no rest between each exercise but you can rest after the cardio component if needed.

    Repeat this 2-5 times depending on level of fitness and mental strength!

    I'd try to do it at least twice per week, and if possible supplement with a regular lifting routine too.

    Worth looking into
