I had a good workout this morning - I like pushing myself hard. I started out on the treadmill - and did a warm up for 5 min. at 4.0 incline and 4.0 speed. After the 5 min. were up, I lowered the incline to 2.0 and jogged at 6.0 for 2 min. Then 6.2 for 2 min. Then 6.4 for 3 min. and lowered the incline to 0.0. Then 6.6 for 2 min. and repeated this until I was at 7.4. After those two min. were up, I did two more at 7.5, and then cooled down for 2 min. So it was a total of 26 min. Short and sweet, yet highly effective. I like switching the speeds up because it seems to make the workout not so monotonous and goes quicker. Then I lifted weights on my legs, did lunges, tele-hops, squats, and push-ups and then worked my core with some ball exercises and sit-ups. Not bad - but I'd still like someone there coaching me, training me. I miss that from high school. You just work harder because you have to. There is a great workout program called crossfit. http://www.crossfit.com/ I have done a few things from this program, but some things I shy away from because I've never done them before and don't feel comfortable or confident (like explosive power lifts, the clean and jerk...stuff like that) But the workouts are very interesting because they are quick, yet KICK YOUR BUTT. I don't think I have EVER been more sore in my life. So it's pretty cool. The website gives you daily workouts and video clips showing how to do each exercise. check 'er out.
