Hi Guys

Basically i have sorted my diet out so i can get a six pack (cut).

I have been told that i need to do weights aswell as cardio to achieve this..

Basically i am joining the gym tomorrow night.....

My Day of Cardio and Weights Will Look like this

Monday - 2 Hours in Door Soccer
Tuesday - Gym session - Weights and tiny bit of cardio
Wednesday - Weights - Possibly Cardio
Thursday - 90 Minute Soccer Match
Friday - Weights
Saturday - REST DAY
Sunday - 90 Minutes Soccer Match

Basically guys and gals i would like a weight routine of what i should be doing....i do not know anything at all about weights...

so.....if you guys could put down what i should do exercise wise plus how many sets and reps i should do...and how much rest time between each set and exercise....plus the kinda weights i should be using eg heavy or lite...

Then My Job will be to research what the actual exercises are haha so i know what im doin

Thanks in advance guys and gals....im really determined to get my six pack :p

If all of this turns out to be too much (you'll know it is if & when your performance/energy drops)...

...then you may want to consider making Wednesday another rest day (training with weights twice a week; & unless you're a goalie, your soccer games have your cardio covered, so you need not do any extra on your weight days).

Remember that rest & nutrition are your friends as well (& extremely vital to your well-being when as active as you intend to be).

Good Luck

P.S.: If you're just starting out, then you may want to do either the soccer separately, or the weight-training separately for awhile before introducing the other aspect into your weekly training; whether or not you do this, go easy at 1st, even if you feel you can do it all (& you can), because the problem of soreness will eventually strike within a day or two -- & too much sorenesss will make you so stiff you'll not want to move much (& this isn't a positive experience that makes one want to continue); also, if you overdo things you risk fatigue, & this puts your health in general at risk (as it lessens the ability of the immune system to handle daily problems) and slows down training since you'll have to rest a long time to recouperate.

For a workout, would you be most interested in sports-oreintated exercise (to improve your game directly) or supplementary exercise to complement the exercise you'll get on the field (for instance, you'll get plenty of leg-work & cardio playing soccer, unless you're a not-so-busy goalie, so arm-work in a gym would complement, whereas some variety of leg & ab work would help with your sports-performance directly)?

If going for sports-performance, then start basic & slow at first until you get conditioned & learn what moves will best help you play the sport; if going for complementary exercise, then exercise those parts which don't get sore or tired from playing your sport.

For basic sports performance I'd recommend strengthening muscles around your knees: do leg-extensions & its antagonist, the leg-curl; for kicking use an iron-boot or ankle-weight on one foot/ankle, grab a chin-up bar or other support & lift your leg as if kicking (but go rather slowly & hold at "sticking-points"). Deep-breathing exercises are also a good idea.
