Training

[jft67x]

Thats good jft. Arnt you like 14? Way to discipline yourself.

I wing my work outs. Goals: Run mile under 7 min each time, lift whatever the F I want and muay thai work out for as long as I can with 5 30 second speed bursts back to back about half way through the work out. Works for me

Thanks

That sounds reasonable 2 hours on an elliptical? Thats with breaks right

I dont take a break i go in waves of low to high

I try and hit up the gym every day, 1.5-2hr....
I ride my bike 10minutes to the gym
I do 30-60 min on the bike.. or incline bike or both
then I lift fairly light fairly high reps for about 1hr...
lat pull-down
bicep curl
tricep
obliques
chest machine
etc...
Seems to work, that and eating right.
-no fried foods
-very little pizza
-no soda
-no energy drinks
-no salad dressings or mayo
-plenty of lowfat milk and meat.

Nice routine jos going for power helps alot with riding. like thoes times where you pick the bike up in a nasty section and carry it... wait i think im the only person that does that. Another time power comes in handy is in fighting, i TRY not to do it but dont call me a wussy flattracker. I also can pop the front end up by yanking on it really hard and do it about 20 times.

Very seldom do I lift weights and if I do it's low weight high reps. The thing that has helped me the most is cardio/endurance training. Go run on an elliptical machine for 30-45 minutes (every other day), while keeping your heart rate above 170 BPM. Don't try that right away though, have to work up to it.

Does your gym have a trainer? If so ask them what a good plan would be and make sure to tell them your goals.

I know why you weigh so little now, at 170 beats a minute for such a long time WILL bun through your muscle....

Cardio Day

2 hours on eleptical

You run 2 hours on the elliptical machine? Damn you must be super skinny or do you eat 4,000 calories that day. At my pace I usually burn 500-700 calories an hour, so that would be like 1,000 to 1,400 calories for that workout.

Back when I could use the row machine, I would warm up on the treadmill or bike, then:

elliptical - 10 mins average heart rate 170-175
row - 5 mins, all out, HR was usually over 185
Repeat for a total of 4 times (1 hour workout) and then cool down on the treadmill or bike.

I burnt so many calories that I'd eat everything in sight, good thing I like ice cream so much.

2 hours on an elliptical? Thats with breaks right

So I went to the gym and talked with my friends mom. Talked about prices and personal trainers, definitely not getting a personal trainer due to pricing. Instead she is a personal trainer herself and she said anytime I am there just find her and she'll train me Not only that, but instead of paying $50/month for membership she's only going to charge me $25/month Hope to get my fitness back on the road, I haven't "worked out" in over a year

$25 a month isn't to bad. Now just stick with it.

Mines $99 for 3 months, trainer included.

Yeah I really want to do this so I'm going to work hard at it That's pretty much the same as mine, they have trainers there they just dont work one on one unless you pay for that.

 

[jft67x]
