Hi folks
I am currently quite unfit and a fairly good bit overweight at the moment(14st 4lb) and looking to get back into shape. im hitting the 25 y/o mark in a month and decided its now or never. unfortunately i dont have money to join a gym so everything will be done at home. i was looking at a program to get me stated and if you could offer any advice it would be appreciated.

mon/wed/fri
press ups 3x10
tricep dips 3x10
plank 30secs
bridge 30 secs
pull ups 3x7 (i cant quite do 1 of these just yet)
sit ups 3 x 15
hyper extensions 3x15

Any advice or input would be appreciated folks thanks.

I'm 25 and just starting out with some of the above, not to lose weight but to build upper body an tone and am interested in anything anyone knowledgeable has to add.

do all of this as it can all be done from home-

and then add weight when and if you can. Start with your own body weight and work up. Do it 3 days a week and make sure you get your diet on track also

Lots of suggestions on the home workout and metcon thread

This is a very useful thread to check out if you're working out at home -> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055968930&highlight=metcon+thread

Also, investing in a set of kettlebells might be a good idea.
