Well, I have now (today) realized that the charts the professionals at Bodybuilding.com ask us to follow is the best.
I began the gym with normal food, supplements and only cardio. Then, I reduced the food and did only cardio. When the food was reduced and I was consistent in food habits I started doing weights. Then, gym was a bit expensive and I stopped. But I continued exercises using dumbbells at home. Till yesterday I did one day cardio and one day weights.
Today and now I realize that I must concentrate on one muscle group only. But with intensity. And I feel, one day of cardio in a week is good enough.
So, here is my schedule :-
Chest and back on day one. Pushups, bench press, shoulder lifts with dumbbells
Arms on day two. Bicep curls, Triceps back lifts, Side arm raises with dumbbells
Abs on day three. Leg raises, Leg cycling
Legs on day four. Squats, Heel raises with dumbbells
Jogging on day five.
Repeat.
I intend to do these very seriously at high intensity. I may use bull-worker too along with weights to increase the intensity and range. I use decreasing primes numbering for reps.
I am planning to eat soya and eggs for protein.
For breakfast four slices of bread, peanut butter/eggs.
For lunch soya or dal or sprouts.
For dinner one cup of rice/roti with vegetables and salad.
Health/Protein drink once a day.
