Get a workout DVD. Seriously. I know it sounds cheesy but if you can't afford to have your own personal trainer come to you whenever you want, it works great. You pop it into a DVD player and it's a set amount of time. You're not fucking around and wasting time. It's a set time and your done. Simple as that. The main problem with routines is that you get bored and waste time, which messes with your work schedule. It's structured, which is why it works. Plus you're working out with "someone" who is pushing you. My doc said I had to lower my blood pressure and lose weight, so I started working out (this was a few years ago). These two DVD workout programs work great.
I did P90X for 8 months.
http://www.beachbody.com/product…It was a lot of fun. Really hard at first. I was 180lbs at first, now I'm 208lbs but am in the best shape of my life, gained lean muscle (5'10"). Can do 23 pullups and over 70 pushups in one shot. I started only being able to do 7 pullups and bout 25 pushups, lol. I have a ton more energy than I used to and feel great. Not a meat head by any means, just in great shape. This DVD is a mix of both cardio and weight training. Also has Yoga, which is actually the hardest thing to do (this isn't the girly type of yoga though. you'll be balancing on one leg until your leg feels like it's going to fall off)
I just started this workout program a week ago. Called "Insanity", it's 10 times harder than P90X though. Pure cardio. Max interval training. Meaning your heart rate will be at 190 - over 200 bpm the entire times. Your legs will feel like they're falling off after the warmup :)
http://www.beachbody.com/product…It's the craziest thing I've ever done. Burn over 900 - 1100 calories every day (I'm spent half way into the workout and it's only 30 - 40 minutes). My goal is to get back down to 180 but have a really low body fat index. I want to look good for my wife again. I slacked off for years sitting in front of a computer.
Anyway, this is what has worked for me. I did the running and weight lifting thing but wasted a lot of time and was never really 'that' motivated. DVD's seem to be working out great.
