For y'all looking to get fit and have a bench/can get a bench and have a pair of dumbells, here you go, hits every muscle group in the body.
Note: I personally find weightlifting/training to be very relaxing. I just need to clean my weight room again :D If anyone does end up using this, lemme know, I wanna see how well it works for yah, it works very well for me.

That's great (also have sodastream) the best thing is you can control the carbonation and I like mine extra fizzy! Got hooked on seltzer water while doing homestay in Germany XD

I do an hour workout each day I start off with a 30 minute walk for my dog = warm up then once I get home I do continuous shuttle runs for 15 minutes non stop. Break for a minute then start 2 minutes continuous shuttle runs again, then 20 squats with a 20kg bar, 20 push ups, 20 lunges, 30 sit ups, and then plank for one minute. I do that process x3 until I do a 5-10 minute cooldown. It's bloody hardwork, but you feel fit as a brick later on though after the workout don't be planning on moving anywhere because you'll be a potato
Not to sound like a dick, but I wouldn't recommend that routine to anybody. It's a mess. You're running some random bro-split with an absurd amount of volume for no real reason. You may feel tired but you could be making much more progress on an already developed routine. You're just working your body to death by trying to fit every possible exercise you found on bodybuilding.com into one day. You don't need 50 variations of a curl. 21's are not a real exercise. Ignore any broscience that says they're beneficial...you're just fatiguing yourself.For y'all looking to get fit and have a bench/can get a bench and have a pair of dumbells, here you go, hits every muscle group in the body.

Get rid of the random stupid shit and get on a real developed program.
If you're looking to get to the gym 6 days a week, run a PPL program. PPLPPLR.
PULL
Deadlifts 1x5+/Barbell rows 4x5, 1x5+ (alternate, so if you did deadlifts on Monday, you would do rows on Thursday, and so on)
3x8-12 Pulldowns OR Pullups OR chinups
3x8-12 seated cable rows OR chest supported rows
5x15-20 face pulls
4x8-12 hammer curls
4x8-12 dumbbell curls
PUSH
4x5, 1x5+ bench press/4x5, 1x5+ overhead press (alternate in the same fashion as the rows and deadlifts)
3x8-12 overhead press/3x8-12 bench press (do the opposite movement: if you bench pressed first, overhead press here)
3x8-12 incline dumbbell press
3x8-12 triceps pushdowns SS 3x15-20 lateral raises
3x8-12 overhead triceps extensions SS 3x15-20 lateral raises

I've made faster progress off of this than anything I've ever done, including things exceptionally similar to what you posted (You essentially posted my old 6-day). May be a mess, but it works, least for me. Plus, like I said, I enjoy it, it's relaxing, so that's the big part. A note to also add that this is high volume, medium-low weight. The entire goal is volume, probably should have mentioned that.

Hey..if it works for you, go for it. I just wouldn't try to throw a complete newbie onto something like that.
Eh, that's why I said "If anyone tries." I should have phrased things better I guess in my initial. Your's would easily be better for folks starting out (And probably take a lot less time too :D )
Seltzer water is okay. I can taste the difference between it and club soda, and prefer club soda to it. I actually really like tonic water, although it almost has as many calories as a cola does. I have been drinking a lot of still water along with various teas and have really cut into my normal soda intake. I almost had a stount G&T tonight, but instead decided on a single RC cola with my Thai food for dinner.
Get ready to get inspired guys.
Work out:
Upper body days: french fries and mayonnaise
Leg days: sitting up and down in my comfortable leather ikea chair.
Cardio (5 to 7 times a week): walking to the fridge, getting grosseries from the car (its an apartment, a lot of stairs), walking to the car.
The result speaks for itself. (i can provide a full program upon request for a small price of a burger or a milkshake)

Work out:

Cardio (5 to 7 times a week): walking to the fridge, getting a big plate of bacon, french fries and mayonnaise, and getting someone to get the groceries from the car (its an apartment, and I can't get my scooter up and down a lot of stairs), walking to the scooter to get to the car.
I think this is working well for me, because almost everyday I get these crushing pains in my chest and my heart starts beating really fast, and you know what they say, "no pain, no gain"
well it didn't take very long until this thread went from 'how to get fit' to 'how to die within 2 years'
I like to do stuff and things. I run. A lot. And sprints. I'm a big fan of high intensity workouts. 100 Burpees for time. Today was 100 tire flips, 150 Kettle Bell swings, 200 Medicine ball slams, for time. Stuff like that.
3pounds down since last friday. Not bad considering I still don't eat very well. Lunches are hella better than what I have been having since I have to pack a lunch for Aviation-tech training. Here's to losing 80lbs or reaching size 38 pants (at waist) and XLT shirts in 3 years or so, since that's how long my training is going to take.

The mere thought of 100 burpees makes my knees ache, to say nothing of the rest of me. I think by the time I reached 30, I'd maybe get a centimeter off the ground.
Haha, that's how I feel every goddamned time I do it. Yet, I keep doing it . . .

Shifting balance for my life, for the better. Prior to this, I was so focused on powerlifting. I was strong, but out of shape and looked like shit.
What good is being able to deadlift 500+ if you can't even go up a couple flights of stairs without being out of breath? Had a bit of a wake-up after injuring my hip twice in a row...
So I've shifted into a much better balanced plan. Basically it's a three-fold plan, that will hopefully lead to a better and balanced life.
Yoga, Resistance Training, and Cardio.
Yoga's primary function is flexibility and balance. Resistance/weight training is for strength and muscle development, and cardio is for cardio/heart/lung health.
For Yoga, we have started with the 'Yoga With Adrienne' Youtube channel. She has a beginner "30 day challenge" that we are partway through. There's also a newer 30 day challenge that we will do after.
Resistance training: We're doing a dumbbell PPL split. We have an okay apartment complex gym that offers enough equipment for now. So this'll be fine for muscle development. I'm not super concerned with any powerlifting setup or having the best strength gains possible. Been down that road, just taking things easy.
For Cardio...we haven't really done anything. Sorta our weak point here. We're thinking of starting the "C25k" program and work our way up from that. No interest in being long-distance runners, just want to be in good cardiovascular health.
