(yesterday)

4 mi run w/ fast one in the middle
30 min stride/stretching/strength drills in the pool
 
My routine hasn't changed at all for the past few weeks.

Starting my sessions with some cardio.

30 minute speed intervals on the spin cycle
20 minute speed interval from a fast walk up to a sprint on treadmill.

I wish knew the names for half the exercises I do.

Separate to the cardio I'm focusing on building my upper body, biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders & lats
I'm starting to notice gains and feeling pretty good about it.

After a few more weeks I'll have to mix it up because by then I'll be wanting to cut body fat from my waist up.

What peoples thoughts on supersetting?

I've been giving it a shot lately and find that it works well for me.

I usually superset. I just feel like it gives you a great heart workout along with your muscular workout. It also gives a crazy good pump.

that's about how i feel. i don't know any science, but super-setting just all around feels like a great workout. i also have a lot more endurance and recovery than power, so it helps me get the most out of my workouts.

today's workout:

1 mi warm-up
stretching/peeing in the woods
3 mi hard 600-1200m intervals, w/ short recoveries not much slower
1 mi cool-down
8 x 60m stride drills

still some soreness in my left shin, but i think (knock on wood) i'm being reasonably conservative about my return to running.
 
(yesterday)

2 miles on treadmill
5x12 ab crunch machine
4x12 torso twist machine
5x8 squats

I don't usually do squats. Leaving the gym and all day today felt like I was walking in quicksand. :\
 
just now it was nice to have my first proper, albeit short, workout on my old punching bag (now on the balcony)

skipping rope 15 mins
20 x push up
20 x sit ups
20 x squats
straight punches
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 (only 3-5 second breaks)
repeat
10 x push ups
uppercuts (same as straights)
10 x sit ups
hooks (same as straight and uppercuts)
10 x squats


feels good. i must be out of shape. the above used to be a tiny portion of what i used to do at the cardio classes.

i need to find me an electronic timer which can be programmed to bleep every 90 seconds.... hmmmm
 
eh, 6 hours of walking is work and exercise. that's sure how my legs feel when i try and run afterwards.

today:

30 min body-weight exercises for legs
30 min run
