You have a target but you don't intend to have a plan? The old adage applies: failing to plan, is planning to fail.

And contrary to your belief there definitely is a right way, and a wrong way, to reduce weight.

hi,its already a week already,my plan is simple..take less calories and burn more calories by exercise regularly..my weight as today is 81 kg.

i just take 70cent bread as breakfast and lunch everyday,drink a lot of mineral water,then in evening before go to gym i will eat meals that focusing more on protein.I cook by myself,avoiding rice for time being.

And for work out,currently im doing 1 hour exercise.

-15 minutes on treadmill with 5 minutes with 5.5miles/h,5 minutes 7miles/hour and another 5 minutes 5.5 miles/h..then 2 minutes cool down.
-15 times push up with 3 set..(this actually hard for me,i take 15 minutes to finished the 3 set..tangan menggigil bro)
-15 times free squat,without any weight also 3 set.
-15 times full sit up also for 3 set.
-15 times bicycle sit up also for 3 set.
-And another 15 times crunches.
-then 30 minutes sauna..which is relaxing.

i do this monday-saturday.Sunday is my rest day and the day to eat fast food.hahahaha.

for this week,i target to do all this exercise with little improvement.I will try do 20 minutes on treadmill this week.

on the contrary, he has a plan. his plan is to take the first step. which he did.

good for you bro, keep at your routine for now. once you get used to it you can improve on stuff such as your diet or workout plan. best part of all this you can see visual improvements which in turns helps to motivate you.

one thing to comment though, sauna does not help with FAT loss. All it does is to remove water from your body via sweating. Its not necessary at all to sauna everyday, pretty much a waste of time.

On top of what mike said, I would say (suggest) skip the situp/crunch as well, for now. Its just waste of time and more stress in your current regime.

use that time to do, other routines, maybe HIIT, or compound movements.

All the best.

Referring to the 3 months target of 8kg. Without a proper routine, it's pretty much a hit or miss situation (personal feelings).

Anyway, the key is consistency and willpower! Good luck!

what routine do you need to lose weight? you take care of your diet, and you do cardio. pretty much doing all that needs to be done already. 8kg in 3 months is a pretty decent number imo

That which you have already mentioned in your last post: a diet and workout plan, however simple it may be to facilitate convenience, and just stick to it. Anyway let's not crowd out this workout journal.

yor training wont be paying off with this kind of effort.
i would suggest u.
everyday, cardio 15min and double up every week.
mon: push up wide grip x20 3sets | push up diamond grip x20 3sets | incline push up x20 3 sets | bench dips x20 3 sets
tues: jump rope 15min
wed: abs bicycle x until fatigue 3 sets | crunches x until fatique 3 sets | leg raise x until fatigue 3 sets
thur: jump rope 15min
fri: lunge x 20 3 sets | dumbbell squat x 20 3 sets | arnold shoulder press x 20 3 sets

and cheat meal must not be fast food. get something healthier like subway w/o dressings
