So i did a snowboarding lesson a couple of weeks ago, and it made me realize just how unfit i am. So as i want to continue with snowboarding i want to try and get a bit fitter and lose a bit of weight to make it easier for myself.

One thing i wasnt sure on is i hear alot of people i know that go to the gym regularly, who do leg day, arm day etc etc. Is that best best way to exercise just concentrating on one group of muscles a day i.e. monday - Arms, tuesday Legs - Wednesday- Back, Thursday Cardio etc etc. Or would i be better off just doing a smaller amount of each every day?

I have access to a weight bench with barbell and dumbells, a treadmill and a bike. Used to do alot of cycling so enjoy that so want to get out on the bike again, but any other tips?

For general fitness, I think you could quite easily stick with the tried and tested basics.

Some running, some cycling, some swimming; and then some bodyweight exercises: press-ups, sit-ups, burpees etc.

Do one thing each day. Have one day off. each week.

For the bodyweight exercises, I'd recommend an app called '7 Minute Workout'.

Thanks, Will look into the app.
