well i decided to make a plan for when i hit the gym.. any comments and suggestions are welcome .. im totally new to this thing so any help would be great... i figured i would start at this and prolly change things up ever couple weeks as things maybe get a lil easier...

Monday: Run or some cardio for 30 min. and then Play some basketball
Tuesday: Weights for 1hr Swim 1 Mile and then Basketball
Wednesday:Run or some cardio 30min. then Basketball
Thursday: weights 1hr swim 1 mile then basketball
Friday: Run or some cardio 30 min. then Basketball

i love playing basketball so i would throw that at the end of each day its relaxing to me while yet giving me a workout... and my calaries to maintain my weight would IRIC is 2,100 so i figure i will try to keep it to about 1500-1600. I would take Sat. and sundays off from the gym. i plan on starting out at 100 crunches and 100 Pushups evernight but maybe sunday give me a total break on sunday. and ofcourse add on to teh pushups and crunches prob every week or so..
 
overall, i think thats a pretty well balanced plan. my only suggestion is, you should make your plan you have, your goal. and work your way up to that. You could probably do it now, but ease yourself into it you dont want to hurt yourself.

but yea anyways. good plan, good luck with it, and i like the touch of basketball at the end of ever day :p

I wouldn't recommend this. That's just way too many, totally unnecessary. If you can do that many pushups every night just as a beginner and still increase the reps, you're not doing them right, or too fast, or something. Maybe try some Hindu pushups too, those things work alot more muscles than the traditional ones, especially your shoulders.

Also as for the high rep crunches, that's also totally unnecessary. You trying to build up your abs or something? Low reps is what you want. You shouldn't be able to do more than about 20 of something. When you do a crunch or other exercises for abs, come up, tightly contract as hard as you can, and hold that position for at least a second. This is where you're going to get tone and strength, not hundreds of easy reps. Your time would be better spent doing this and also hitting other core exercises such as leg raises, side bridges, etc.
