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 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
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
Today, for my workout, I decided to do some testing, my 1 rep max to be exact. Usually you do tests before you start exercise programs, but I didn’t have the equipment to do it before. Now that I’m in Norman, I can go to the gym and use their stuff; before I was working out at home with dumbbells. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 8 – 1 Rep Max
I decided to call today, day 6 because this is the sixth day of working out. I figured it would just be easier to follow.
