Workout routines

I just run 2.5 miles 5-6 days a week. Once I get my weight down by about 20 pounds, I will start lifting a little again. But for now I am enjoying the freedom that snus affords my lungs when I run, and trying to get faster and faster. Shaulwolf, 3 miles in less than 18 minutes is insane! I feel good about running 3 miles in less than 30 minutes...

On the other hand, it's good that our Marine Corps doesn't have my physique... Good luck with your running

I remember running one mile in 6:45. That about killed me! I couldn't imagine running at that speed for two more miles!

Anyone ever try this?

A coworker has the complete program, and a few of my girlfriends coworkers do it also. From what I hear, it is pretty hardcore and only works if you follow the instructions precisely.

My friend, Felix, another gym rat, told me to look it up. He said that his roommate, Cerillo, another gym rat, was trying it out. In principle it sounds like it'd work well, and it's awesome for endurance. Felix and I are going more for sheer strength though, so we're sticking to the basics.

Changing my workout routine once I get back from spring break. It's still going to be different muscle groups per day and drawing from the exercises listed above. Different variety weekly so my body doesn't adjust and get complacent, as well as different grips occasionally that target different parts of the muscle. Looking up different exercises for legs, and there's plenty out there to choose from.

Back/biceps
Chest/triceps
Shoulders/forearms
Legs

Daily cardio
Daily abs

I'm not one for workout videos and such, but yeah p90x looks fairly okay. I am sure people get great results from it.

I quit working out, but my old routine was at least 40 miles a day on a bike (yes, a real bike) then I'd hit up the bowflex for what it was worth, and hammer out some basic calf and forearm excersize.

I'm about 50 pounds over weight right now, and that's about 20 pounds over what my frame can handle before my gut starts spilling over the waist band.

When I start working out again it'll probably be circuit training at first and then move on to groups by day.
