Steve9347 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Back on topic... Â X-Sport is running a "free personal training" session for anyone interested in February. Now the gym is packed and the machines I use for weight training always taken by some personal trainer spending 25-30 minutes explaining what a weight is... and it's f***ing annoying.

RockRaines Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) Any opinion? I have the opportunity to pick up a new one with book and video for $100. It is a good supplement to a total body workout. I like the suspended pulls and push ups as part of a good circuit training, especially since you can modify them to change it day to day. Good technology.

No big deal. Â This would be awesome. Â Just hit week 5 of 12 of that workout regiment I posted earlier, and it's starting to intensify quite a bit. I mentioned the Spartacus Workout to my bro-in-law and I think we'll probably do that after this is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well in the interest of getting some more traffic to this thread and perhaps getting a pinned one, I'll write a 30 and 60 min workout of the month based on some of the feedback above.

I just made it the official work out thread for now. We'll just use this for now and if we keep getting a lot of traffic, we can do something else if necessary. Â And ya, write up a work out of the month, that's a good idea. The more feedback/work out ideas anyone can give the better since we obviously have a variety of people with different fitness levels who read this. Â On an actual work out note, I think I'm going to start doing some more high intensity stuff to up my explosiveness when it comes to sports a bit. I'm starting to play in a lot of different sports leagues again and I want to be at the top of my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm too lazy to join a gym, so I'll do my 50 push ups in the morning, 50 push ups at night, work on my biceps with some dumbells (squats and normal extensions) and do the plank for bout 2 to 3 mins, and that's my routine.

Steve9347 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 So on January 10, I decided to dedicate myself to getting in shape for the first time since sophomore year of college. I weighed in at 211.7 lbs. This morning I weighed in at 189.6. My goal weight was originally 185, but i think I might shoot for 180 with a lot of muscle. Â This has been painful, yet fun.

I would suggest changing up those exercises a few time a week. For example, change the regular pushups into 4 sets of 25 different pushups. (military, wide, decline etc). Also incorporate some lunges and squats into the workout for lower body conditioning and to increase your heart rate. You can modify your plank as well, doing plan gets ups (hand, hand, elbow elbow repeat) or bring some leg movements into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I find that just working out consistently helps; my joints feel worse when I'm not working out. I started P90x and was surprised that it wasn't harder on my joints. Â QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 10:55 AM) Yoga and aleve? Â My wife and I took classes at The Glowing Body here in Knoxville and were pretty happy with a beginner's class (we needed "yoga for dummies").
