OK Piggy, I'll break down my routines in both my heavy interest period and light interest period.


When training, a typical week went like this.

Get up, quick shower, small coffee, do 5 minutes of calisthenics and light stretching.

Then I'd either do a 3 mile run around the neighborhood, then off to the gym for an hour to an hour and a half. I'd go grab an exercise ball and stretch my back and legs really good. I tried to lift 6 days a week, each body part got 2 days of specific lifting spread 3 days apart and I did daily push ups (200), sit ups (500), hindu squats (1000), curls , shoulder, and triceps presses with dumbbells at home. I'd also do timed wall squats, got to where I could do a minute + no problem but 2 minutes would give me a cramp in my hip.

When weather wasn't rainy or snowy I'd go sprint this hill by an old creepy church, it was about 60 yards long and straight up. First time I sprinted it was in August, 4x in a row and I might have given myself a heat stroke.

I followed a lot of what's in Arnold's Encyclopedia of Body Building for workouts.



Now when I've been less motivated and more consumed with work and school, I'd just do the push ups and sit ups and a lot less of the dumbbell work at home, and tried to play more sports. My little sport I've invented was an awesome cario workout, lots of running, sprinting, constant movement and reactions.

Intensity is the most important thing, get the heart rate up and sustain it, strengthen the cardiovascular system and you'll be able to go longer and harder to strengthen the rest of you.
