Ran the Memphis 1/2 marathon last month. It was freezing! Couldn't have gotten warmer than 40, but the wind in the morning made it seem like 30

Monday- chest and back
Tuesday- shoulders and triceps
Wednesday- legs and biceps
Thursday- off
Friday- Chest, shoulder, tri
Saturday- legs, back, bi
Sunday- off

I lift for size mainly, doing 3 sets of 6 reps with heavy weights

Diet is a lot of protiens, limited carbs and sweets

This routine works very well for me.

I have a Bowflex and the Bowflex select dumbbells for days I can't make the gym, and I can get an excellent workout for everything except legs at home.

I'm not much of a cardio guy. I'm lazy. I will run a couple of times on a treadmill, use the Gazelle, and swim a lot in the summer.

Yea add to it that I wasn't supposed to run since they had maxed out their quota, but a friend couldn't make it so I used his registration stuff. I found out he wasn't going to make it Friday night at about 9, after I had just done a leg workout and ran 3.5 miles. Made for a fun Saturday morning! Made it in 1hr 50 min though, definitely could do better on fresh legs.

Anybody ever hired a personal trainer?

I've just done everything on my own. And it worked well. But it's hard to stay motivated lately. I constantly question what I'm doing, and can't commit to a schedule. It's frustrating.

nope, if you know what you are doing, you just need to find yourself a workout partner. If you do that, then you'll have another reason to go to the gym, and they will help you stay motivated as well.

I'm thinking about becoming a personal trainer with some massage therapy...but not sure about getting the clients...:ermm:

That's the best thing. I don't like working out with someone, but I know if I have it scheduled to meet a friend at a gym, or go with them to the gym, then I get my workout done because I definitely am not the one to break the plans!

Yeah but it makes it hard too when the other person is the one that always seem to cancel.

that's what i hear...but finding work is what's gonna scare me away. Because any other job you work for a company and are promised pay...of course you can always work for a gym, but i hear you make more money working on your own...:scare:

I don't go to a gym. I workout at home. And for the most part, I know what I need to do and what worked. Alternate cardio and strength training (high reps low weight). I've just gotten bored with the whole routine over the last several months. I work out right after hubby leaves for work in the mornings, but lately I've allowed myself to skip it here and there til I don't have the intensity I used to.

yup, i have that problem now. I workout with a buddy for a couple days a week and then the rest we're on our own. Finding someone that has the same goals as you and is as determined as you, will go the furthest.

I know what you mean volly. I walked 3 miles on the days that I didn't use an elliptical trainer. But everyday I would do stomach crunches and lift my arm weights and I could tell a huge difference but then I started to kind of lax and then never got back into it!
