depends on how far you go and how much rest you give yourself. Personally i've been using a "sprint x distance, jog back" set up which is very simple. If anything, just start running, go hard, and push yourself. Use your first day as more of a "finding out" time. The idea is to add more distance/go faster/rest less, etc. from workout to workout, so if anything, you're pretty much guaranteed to make progress off of your first day.

Jump Roped (~1 Minute)
HIIT (6 Rounds, sprinted to the other soccer post, walked back to start)
Jump Roped (~2 Minutes)
Push ups (30)
Squats (40)
Ab Rollers (15)
Tucked L-Sit (5 seconds) (Failed)

Move your L-Sit work to just after the warmup. Not at the end of the whole workout when you arms are tired. Makes it tons easier.

Tucked L-Sit (15 Seconds) (Yay!)
                  (15 Seconds) (Yay!)
Jump Rope (~3 Minutes)
Tucked L-Sit (16 Seconds) (Went as long as i could) (Lost Balance)
                  (30 Seconds) (Went as long as i could) (That was really difficult!!!!!!)
Push Ups (30)
Squats (40) (I hear this cracking sound when i come up, and its from my knees, should i be concerned?)
Ab Rollers (15) (Alright, my core is starting to get worked now, i have to look up when i do them ;D)

I was kinda sore today, and i think my shin splints are coming back.. its like a pain right below my knees...

Oh yeah, i also did some standing calf raises, i was reading in the general fitness section, and it said it helps with flat feet

L-Sits to before workout, After warmup. Warmup is always first.

On squats, cracking isn't a problem, so long as it doesn't hurt and you're SURE your form is good! Could you post a video of your squats if you can?

If shin splints are coming back, rest. Nothing else you can do. Also, don't workout everyday. You need rest days.

Hmm... Sorry, but I need to see your feet and the curve of you back. Maybe position slightly to the back and looking down? From there, all I can MAYBE tell is that your feet are a little close together.

Oh, so are you supposed to do squats on the ball of your foot like that, or foot flat on the ground? I've done both, and the first position is easier for me.

Stop doing them like that.

Feet further apart and flat on the ground. Should look something like this...



Note the lumbar curve, the feet flat on the ground, the body position, etc.

For weights, you make sure you have good form and do a set program of multiple compound lifts. I'd suggest starting strength myself. How much weight do you have to load the bars with?
