apriltrainer Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Even though I am a pt I tend to fall in a rut with my own training programs. I spend so much time designing programs for others I don't spend enough time on mine and tend to do the same things over and over. Not a good thing since I have a comp coming up. So here's what I did today. Sun 6/27 - Jump rope circuit 2:00 min jump rope5 pullups10 pushups15 squats12 hanging leg raises repeated till 30 min is up then finished with a 20 min easy run Per my polar heart rate monitor - 678 calories burnt Edited June 27, 2010 by apriltrainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apriltrainer Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 today 6/28 Polar kept telling me I was dead. That is- it kept telling me my heart rate was 0!So it would come in and out. Polar says I only burned 231 calories but since it wasn't able to keep track of my heart rate my entire workout, i am sure it was actually more. the 231 cals is just for cardio. For abs, I took off my polar because i got so frustrated with it! Anyways, here was my workout-10 min run outside10 min row (last 500 meters I did one legged rowing, switching from r to l leg)10 min run abs- ball crunchesball toe touchesball obliquesball russian twists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apriltrainer Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Thursday -repeat of Tuesday but with some 3 sets of bicep curls, and 3 sets of rows thrown in at gym. Fri - repeat of Wed's workout plus a 20 mile unplanned bike ride. Took the train to visit my son who is staying with his dad this summer. When I went to get back on the train...the conductor wouldn't let me take my bike back on because of taste of Chicago taking place downtown. I had no alternative but to bike... So I guess eating my cheat meal was actually needed that day! I probably burned it off by not just biking but dodging suburban suv's who aren't used to seeing a bike on the road and yelling at people.... I definately had the bike equivalent of road rage yesterday evening. To top it off...someone stole my frakkin light from my bike....so yes,,I tried to bike fast during the night. Lots o calories burned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savache27 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hi, I see you mentioned TacFit in an earlier post. I just purchased it, and it looks great. From your workout logs it doesn't look like you're following the TacFit schedule. In a way I wanted to follow the schedule because apparently that's the way to get the best results, but I honestly don't feel like it will be enough on it's own. Currently I'm doing Bodyweight workouts 3 days a week and Intervals 3 days a week. It just seems to me if I only do TacFit I will lose some of the progress I've made. I was wondering if you might have an opinion on whether to follow the schedule or just incorporate it into another workout schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
