Did a little research on that P90x stuff. It looks like it is mostly recommended for people needing to lose 15 pounds or less, this is not for me yet!

[Krawler00]

Yeah, that will cut you up. I am over being cut and big. Just want to maintain. Did chest and tris today. Tired!

[ghostdancer308]

[Krawler00]

Tried to jog this morning but it was a little to cold, yes it was 38 this morning in Miami. So I came back into the apartment and tried Ghost's suggestion and did 10 push ups and then 20 leg lifts for a total of 50 push ups and 100 leg lift excercises. After that I walked up and down my stairs for 15 minutes (14 steps). Not a lot, but I was sweating my a$$ off.

We have been running hard(working) for about a week. We get a half day off tomorrow than back to team stuff. I only got to run today. Slow 4 miler in 35mins. Going to get some sleep and back at it tomorrow!

well not much for me this week... just to much going on. We do plan ride the bikes Saturday since it is going to be in the 70's so I will make sure I push it some for a good workout. Next week is back to norm

Nothing today!

Alright fellas... I need a little help. On top of just wanting to get in shape, I have been following Glenn's advice and sending my resume into some jobs. Well lets just say some of them are a little more demanding on the body. I need to design a workout based around 4 days of weights, 1 or 2 days of straight cardio (running) and 1 rest day to get my self in a little better shape. Ideally for me would be weights (with machine cardio) Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and then running style Cardio Wednesday and 1 day on the weekend with the other as a rest day.

O and I want to start this on Monday!

So I was thinking this schedule:
-Monday: chest and tri's
-Tuesday: Shoulders
-Wednesday: running
-Thursday: Back and bi's
-Friday: Legs
-Saturday or Sunday: running, the other a rest day

One of the jobs I applied for has a requirement of:
Bench .72 of body weight
Leg Press 1.46 of body weight
Step Test 50 in 1 minute
Sit Ups 29 in 1 minute
1.5 mile run in 14.46 minutes

Can I do all that? Probably, but I don't want probably, I want to KILL it!

[ghostdancer308]

Whats the job? {ehm} LEO? Firefighter? This would help for a workout designed on the events. Let me know. {popcorn}

Sounds like what I had to do 20 something years ago as a Firefighter.
