Workout: Cardio Warmup / Gym

Warmup: 15 minutes stationary bike – 3.6 miles

Gym: (1 set of each) Incline Dumbbell Press 25×15, Reverse Grip Bent-over Barbell Row 40×15, Lateral Dumbell Raises 10×15, One-arm Dumbell Kick Backs 15×15, Standing Alternate Dumb Bell Curls 20×15

It’s possible you read the above workout and thought, “Wow, that’s pretty weak.”  In a way, it is.  But it’s not meant to get me big and muscular, it’s meant to be used as maintenance to keep the rest of my body in shape while my legs continue to do the rest of the work.  You gotta have a complete package to do your best.   You can’t ignore the rest of your body…then the fat starts to build up in those spots and *PLOW* you are Ben Stiller at the end of Dodge Ball.

I get my workouts (running and gym) from this personal trainer program offered through Runner’s World.  The actual website is here.  It’s a pretty sweet deal.  I think I pay $5.00 every three months, and it gives me customized workouts based on my current fitness level and the type of event I’m training for.  You can do running plans (which include light gym work) or just straight gym plans.  They also have diet plans too, although I’ve never tried it.

Well, I’m sitting here icing my leg…didn’t run, but still need to keep up the treatment.  There was a slight twinge as I walked down the steps today…hopefully it’ll work itself out.  But…I suppose that’s it for now.  Off to make dinner…chili con pollo!

Run on friends!
