Is this a sufficient exercise routine?

So I won't be able to train at my gym(boxing) for a while because of school and work but I want to make a solid routine to do at home every morning for about an hour..

I was thinking
100 pushups
100 squats
100 sit-ups
Run 3 miles ( I have a treadmill in my apartment)

Do you think this is sufficient? Anything you would recommend I include or exclude?
 
For a warm up. I guess.

I would add deadlifts and/or pull-ups. Pulling exercises are better for overall strength and posture. I'd also nix the sit-ups. If you absolutely have to do isolation ab work, do crunches but even those can exacerbate bad posture if you're not doing lower back hyperextensions, good mornings or deadlifts.
 
I'd throw in something to isolate my shoulders and modify the situps to include oblique crunches too, and I'd say you've got it. If you only did half the reps on all of those and did it religiously you'd definitely see results. It's consistency that's key.
 
Saitama says you need to make that run 10km.

In all seriousness though, no, it's not much of a routine. You will stall out and the routine will get stale pretty quickly. It's certainly better than nothing, but you can do a whole lot of stuff at home that doesn't require equipment.

Some long slow distance work on the treadmill is pretty sweet to do for your base a few times a week. Likewise, muscular endurance work isn't really a bad thing, but it shouldn't be all you do.

Have a look at some bodyweight training resources, particularly around strength work. Have a look at Gymnastic Bodies for some ideas, and see about reading a copy of Never Gymless by Ross Enamait. Beast Skills has a few good exercises tutorials and progressions, and the bodyweight fitness sub on reddit occasionally has some good stuff.

Your routine is better than nothing, sure. But is it *good*? No.
 
Buy a pull up bar and throw some of those in. Also, maybe some Bulgarian Split Squats.

Replace this workout with 100 burpees for time and then do the run.
 
bands are a good substitute to barbells if you can't have the real deal for a while.

you need to work all your body muscles. you can work chest, legs and abdominals and leave everything else. you will have imbalances and fk up your body.

if you work pushups you need to work lats.
if you work situps you need to work lower back.

Hindu pushups work lats and low back.
 
You’re doing better then 98 percent of Americans and 90 percent of US armed forces.
