I am trying to get back in shape here after about a 6 month cycle of reckless eating and lack of exercise. I have recently started working out 4-5 times a week doing some running and biking. I hope to start a lifting routine here in the coming week.
In the past I had a nice workout rountine. I usually ran 2 miles a day 4-5 days a week. I also usually did the stationary bike for about 20 minutes during these workouts. I also had a lifting routine going.
My goal is to is to drop about 20-25 pounds to get down to around 200 pounds. I know that if I stick to this daily routine it will happen.

That looks pretty good. The one thing I'd recommend is maybe some shorter more intense bursts of cardio- probably like you used to do in your football days. That will help you lose weight- maybe combine that with your long runs- the short bursts make you expand a lot of energy in a very short amount of time. I am actually going to be doing plyos about 2x/week as I prepare for my show in the mornings- you wanna join? Maybe get jake to go as well? stuff like ladders, jump rope, bags, cones, short sprints, etc..
just an idea...it'd hold you accountable and make it a little more exciting... but for real- that is a pretty dedicated routine. I think if you lifted 2 days a week, ran long distance 1 day, and plyos 2 days- that'd be an extremely well rounded routine.

Just did some cardio today. Ran one mile and interval cycle on the bike for 20 minutes. Want to start doing some lifting on Thursday of this week. I know I will be sore as I have not lifted in a while. Got a softball game on Wednesday so will wait until Thursday to begin.
I feel like I am making some strides as running a mile has become easier. Looking to step the intensity of the workouts in the coming weeks.

nice...don't kill yourself on the first day ha or you won't be moving for the entire weekend- you'll have to work into the lifting...You should start timing your miles after a while- try to break it by a few seconds each time maybe?
