This post is for Friday January 29, 2010. Read my update post from a few days ago if you want the lowdown on why I’m posting it today.
This is day 2 of no school due to weather incidents and it’s been great! I’ve been doing a bit more hanging out than usually, so it’s nice to be connecting with old friends. We still don’t have power, so we’ve been trying to find ways to entertain ourselves. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 20 – Sledding
I just realized that this was the last running day of this exercise program and tomorrow is my last day period. It’s kind of exciting because I didn’t realize I was so close to being done. I still have not yet decided what I’ll be doing, but I’ll announce my plan tomorrow when I figure it out. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 19 – My Last Running Day
I was feeling sore these past two days from running, so I decided to go light on my strength training. Light Workouts consist of high reps with low weights pretty much, so they’re a nice break from heavy lifting. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 18 – Light Strength Training
As you know, today was a cardio day for me and my goal was to run for 30 minutes straight. I’m getting back into running, so my focus right now is to increase my endurance.
Today, I was doing some research on strength training and how runners benefit from adapting this kind of workout to their exercise program. The findings, scientifically have been quite interesting, so I chose this to be my topic for today. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 17 – Strength Training Benefits for Runners
Today was my strength training day. Nothing too fancy from what I’ve done in the past. I was running a bit late, so I rushed through exercises, and skipped some, so I could shower and get ready for a meeting I had. I didn’t have time to workout this morning, so I was lifting weights at around 7pm. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 16 – Strength Training
Initially I had planned on going running today, but that didn’t happen. Instead, I ended up strolling for about two hours. Yes I got sweaty, but it was fun. If you don’t know what strolling is, let me explain. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 14 – Strolling
After working out today, I realized I needed to make a quick change to fitness workout sheet you can download off this blog. Last week we spent time testing our 1 rep max and now we can use this information to design our strength training workouts. I’ve provided a space where you can write down your 1RM’s for each exercise you tested for. This will make it easier when figuring out what kind of weights you should be lifting. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 11 – New Fitness Workout Sheet
I realized that I pretty much covered this topic already on day 8 and other articles. I originally was going to talk about workout intensity and how you choose which weights you should choose for your exercises. I feel I don’t really need to discuss this topic again, so I’ll just be reporting my workout today. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 10 – Heavier Weights
I felt today would be a good day to go over some running basics. There are some simple things that I’d like to talk about and I’ll finish on Day 9. I’d like to go over with you the anatomy of running, form, shoes and foot types; we’ve got a heavy load today. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 7 – Running Basics – Getting Started
