First I'm gonna give you some tips alot of people don't know, but follow them, they will help you:
You will not get a killer six-pack until you get rid of all the fat from your stomach area
You can NOT burn fat from a specific area, your body decides where to keep it, it's not up to the concious you
Running 10 miles a day is not going to make you ripped, it's gonna make you look like a KENYAN! (pun intended - youtube "Powerthirst" for some lulz
)
Lifting weights is NOT gonna make you ripped in a small amount of time. Don't be afraid of the bench, the deadlift or anything like that, they are your friends but take time to work
Gear *will* help
Do more reps and fever sets to increase endurance, do fever reps (4-6) and more sets to gain muscle (what you want, if you wanna look like that guy)
(Reps: how many moves you do without taking a break, sets: how often you do the amount of reps (for ex: 4x8 is doing 8 lifts and then taking a break, and doing that a total of 4 times)
Do your exercises right. Only use the muscles your working on, don't use your back to get the last inch (if you need to do that, lower the weight instead).
Muscle growth is ONLY accomplished when you work it to complete failure (meaning you just can't do any more) Muscle growths comes when the body realizes it can't cope with the task at hand, so you need to absolutely slaughter that motherfucker for the best result (if you just do 2 sets and call it a day, not even feeling sore, you might just as well take a break and not do anything).
Many believe that you get the best results for the least amount of time if you train 3-4x a week for 45-60 minutes at a time (and really PUSH it during that time!)
Weight loss and muscle growth don't really go hand in hand. If you need to do both then do it on different days (one day you run 5 miles and do 30 mins on the ski machine, then next day you do abs, biceps and shoulders... get me?)
Being in a group or working out with a partner or trainer WILL motivate you more than you could imagine. You need discipline of steel if you're going to get into that shape all by yourself, without even going into a gym or getting a training buddy (read: it's impossible)
Split your body into groups for every day. for example: triceps, shoulders and thighs one day, biceps, back and calves the next, then cardio, and then abs, hamstrings and chest. This way you can better work each muscle group to full failure for maximum gain, and rest it the next couple of days.
Hope this helps. I'm sure somebody will disagree with at least one thing I said, but such is the way of body building: everybody has their own way. I just tried to post the "universal rules" that everyone seems to agree on
What can you do on your own, at home:
RUN - Burn off that fat if you have any!
pushups, sit-ups, chin-ups (on the next tree-branch), etc etc:
