Do you have a niche? Nerds? (Maby it's just refering to yourself being geekishly obsessed with fitness?) Maby i have not read it good enough, but it doesn’t seem like it is aimed at a partcicular demographic, and maby it should. There are hundreds, maby thousands of basic fitness articles, and maby you could have some luck with giving the readers of your site something that no other get-started-with-fitness articles does.
Are one supposed to do all the three points? Cause’ that sounds like it has a big potential of overwhelm built into it. Also, it si relatively time-consuming: 20 min with 1# six times a week, 30-45 min strenght training 3-4 times a week, and getting used to cooking your own nutrituous meals, instead of buying them at Burger King
. Why not starting off with 1#, then after a while add 3# and then finally add 2#.
And about getting sore with the strenght training: why not advise to take it easy in the beginning? Like, really easy: only 1 set of each, and only 70%/80% of how much you can do in a set for the first day, and maby 2 sets of the same for the next day. As far as I know, soreness is not a virtue, and giving all those muscles that are hardly ever challenged such an overload could easily make you sore for 3 days or more. Which can further mess the rest of your pre-planned strenght training days up.
The exercises sounds reasonable, except for calf.raises... I don’t see the point in that. The only reason that comes to mind for a beginner to do calf-raises are if you wanna improve your ”fast-walking” or power-walking. And you might not want to take that one too far... Nerds are often self-consciouss enough even if they don’t power-walk
You could do vertical jump exercises, and thereby kinda get both squats and calf-raises in one. Though you might not be able to get a good enough burn from just jumping... yumm, fatigued calfs, having your ankles wobble when you walk afterwards...
Those last ”encouraging statements” or whatever you call it... you might want to make that a separate point, and not just something to remember on the fly in a moment of weakness. An exercise were you write down all the benefits that fitness will bring you. Maby also more negative statements, things that might go bad for you in the case you quit, etc.
Also, statements that matter to oneself. Not dogma:
”Keeping yourself healthy should be a priority to anyone”
