Listen to Lion's advise. Stop running whenever you feel the pain, but never rest completely. If you feel the pain, bicycle or swim to help strengthen your legs and ankles.

I'm working out at home; pure recreational workout, no protein shakes or anything, for about 3 months. I have a bench and something similar to this and this along with a boxing bag. How good of a workout can one do with such equipment? I don't feel like going to a gym, it feels so gay. 
BTW, what are the names of those 2 machines I linked to?
Also, does anyone here punch the bag? I started about 1 month ago and my fists are killing me. I really hit hard and don't save myself doing it, I punch twice a week for 30mins. I use bandage for hands and 10oz boxing gloves. Is this normal and how long will it continue?

vlatko the machines you have should give you an excellent workout and as they are at home you cannot use the "can't be arsed going to the gym excuse" just make sure you do a good variety of exercises and you will be fine.
plus i have a punch-bag, great cardio workout but my dog goes fucking nuts when i use it so it is currently gathering dust

The only downside is, I don't know if I'm doing the excercises properly and wether there is enough variety in my routine(I've never been to the gym). Do you know of some online material to checkout?
Yep, the bag is awesome, I love punching it. I just hope my fists get used to it so I can do it more regulary.
Will try knuckle pressups, I did regular pressups up until now, never figured changing it.
Well the guy at the store said, 10oz would be just right for me and he looked like he could smite me with one punch so I took his word for granted.

V, you lucky bastard you have everything you need for workout. Only you maybe need "vratilo" (hell, I don't how to say it in english).
I've stopped with training almost two months ago, now I'm waiting to buy Benchpress and put it in my room and than I will train againg and probably buy some whey protein, creatine, amino acids or smth like that. And like Bozi said I will not have an excuse to miss training. I'm 1.81 tall and around 78-79kg weight, my goal is to build a lean muscle and weight around 85kg.

in terms of the bag, i hope your doing specific things not just randomly throwing punches for fun, work on set things, jab, straights, hooks etc, and also do freestyles, do differnt types of rounds e.g. 1 min rounds of pure power to get those knockout punches, other rounds of speed, 3 min rounds of paced out punching to get your stamina good

The cable pusdown is very useful. You can use it to work your upper back, biceps, and triceps. The boarsd is mostly for abs workouts.
Tbh you can't really do much workout with those. The machine is mostly used for isolate type excerices, and while it is important, it is not what a beginner or home excericser wants to focus on.
The bench helps. I assume you have a barbell and weight plates? If not then get some, 5 kgs, 10 kgs, and 15, and 20 kgs for starters.
No machine substitues free weights (barbells, dumbbells). The reason is because they bring more body parts into workouts, and pretty much all upper body workouts (and some leg ones) can be done with dumbells. Machines are used to isolate body parts into specific workouts. So with free weights you get the best workout possible, and that's what you want
My suggestion though is to really join a gym. Unless you have a complete home gym, you'll be missing out on some excellent machines and other benefits of gyms. You don't have to join a fancy gym, even the old rusty smelly cheap gym will do, as they contain the most things you need for a workout. I don't know how much it costs to get in a gym for a few months but, here you can get into a gym for 2 months for the cost of a new video game.
Not to mention you get to meet good people, and get advice from other guys who work out.
OP
The problem isnt Asphalt.Ive had it on mud too.And im running to lose weight.
Ive had ankle pain while running in the past too,but it ends up going away after some time.So i figured its just like the body aches you have when you first stary gym..your body isnt use to the excercise,so the muscles take time in adjusting.I think this is what the problem is this time too.I started running 2 weeks ago.The first 1-2 days were fine,but i felt pain in my ankles after that.Im assuming that it'll go away in a week or so.

OP
If it's pain because your body is tired you should know, even if you don't work out regularly. There's a difference between being a bit sore and having a serious ankle problem. If your ankles get swollen, I would definitely go see someone. If not, it all depends on the pain level. Still, if you're new to working out or running and you don't know what pain is normal, it's better to have it checked.
