My Workout

So Lediya and I just got back from the local 24 Hour Fitness, and I thought that I would share my current workout. I am in the middle of a three-month cardio-centric routine, so the essence of the workout is obviously to increase my stamina versus build muscle. Assuming that Lediya and I actually go to the gym three days a week (which we have been really good at doing lately), the following is my routine:

• Day 1: Tri-set A (three different workouts, no rest in between) of incline bench press, EZ bicep curls, and dumbbell overhead press. Rest for 2 minutes, repeat for a total of three sets. Tri-set B of lat pulldown, tricep rope press, and V-situps. Rest for 2 minutes, repeat for a total of three sets. The, 15 minutes on the bike alternating between the hill preset and the Kiliminjaro preset. Stretch for 3 minutes, then high intensity interval training on the treadmill (HIIT - all out sprint for 1 minute, rest for 2 minutes, for a total of 5 sprints and 15 minutes).
• Day 2: Tri-set C of flat bench press, hammer curls, and military press. Tri-set D of lat row, weighted dips, and Swiss ball crunch. Same bike and treadmill routines as above.
• Day 3: Failure workout (as many sets as you can until exhaustion) of dumbbell incline press, overhead tricep extension, and preacher curls. Same bike and treadmill routines (with some variations on speed and incline) as above.

While I haven't really lost that much weight (I'm holding steady at 160 lbs, give or take 2 lbs) I feel much healthier. A cardio workout sure does wonders!
