FITNESS THREAD Post Your Workout Regimes

[TheDutchman92]

What consists of your daily/weekly exercise regimens? I want this to become an idea and knowledge sharing thread to help people train smarter get more out of their routines. I'll kickstart it I alternate between 2 days of different exercises;

DAY 1: Cardio; interval training jog 500m, sprint 500m repeat 3 times, approx time it takes is 25 mins including warm up/cool down

DAY 2: Weights; 3 x 5 narrow grip military press, 3 x 5 upright rows, 3 x 5 wide grip military press, 3 x 5 upright rows, 3 x 5 seated wrist curl, takes about 30 mins

Not the most intense regime but at the moment it suits

Hmm I used to do a little crossfit until I got to this sh*tty state of missouri. Now I just lift weights 4 days a week, and take my half lab/jack russell dog out on runs daily if the weather permits. I like to run 5Ks for fun just to stay fit, and on a bad day I usually just knock out a 2 miler at a brisk pace, or do a slower 30 minute run. I also do dead-hang pullups daily just to keep my back healthy since your back is basically your "frame".

Walk 30 mins to coffee shop, order large latte/mocha/whatever espresso drink i feel like, sit for a while, then walk back 30 mins.

I mainly walk alot. I used to do a ****load of cardio to where i was considered 'anorexic'. but since then i put on close to 20lbs, mostly body fat no muscle.

I am 14 and a sponsored athlete (wish Oakley was one, haha) so i have to stay on top of training to keep on their good side and up my racing performance..I ran a marathon last year when i was 13 and trained for 5 or 6 months..now i do halves but am trying to do another full..this is how it usually goes..

Monday - 2 miles

Tuesday - 4 miles

Wednesday - Hit the gym or try these at home, Squats, lunges, leg press, leg curl, calf raise

Thursday - By now I'm sore from the workouts and my bad knees have slowed me down..take it easy with 3 miles

Friday - This is my day where i don't give a **** and hangout with my friends and rest for the weekend of hell..

Saturday - This is the "long run" day..i never do less than 8 miles on this day and never more than 22 if I'm training for the full marathon...when i was training i started at 6 miles on the weekend and built it up every other weekend by two miles

Sunday - This is usually the relax day unless i have a race then this is my big day and i would have taken Saturday off

I do try to do some upper body workouts for my abs. arms, and chest when i can and I'm really into benching these days, but this is usually my routine every week. I do P90X workouts once a week on my upper body. If anyone wants to criticize me about my age just do it, i don't care, i get it everyday in emails..i have been trained by ultra-marathoners and professionals and I've done everything right. On the other hand, If anyone wants to start training for any distance let me know and it might take me about a day or two to get back to you but ill give you a training sheet!

that's nother issue i have similar to you Kyle, My knees are bad. I'll walk down or up a flight of stairs and have some bad knee pain. Or walking down the long hill at school can cause my knees to be sore, cold weather doesnt help either.
