ARMS/Cardio

WORKOUT13 300x12019 ARMS/CardioMy Sunday started off with a great run on the treadmill on an empty stomach for 25 total minutes.  I did several sprint intervals and one mile for speed which I did in 6 minutes to end the workout off.  A couple hours later was my first arm workout at the new gym and my training partner Ron joined.  We blasted arms for about an hour and did my favorite cardio machine afterwards which is the stepmill.

Treadmill Routine

WORKOUT13 300x12012 Treadmill RoutineTook the day off from weights and just did some cardio.  I decided to run since I had not in a couple of weeks.  Started off with a 2 minute walk then for 3 minutes jogged on 6.5 and bumped it up to 8.0  till i reached 22 minutes. For the next 8 minutes I made it up to 10.5 and finished with 3.85 miles in 30 minutes.  After that I slowed it down to 3.5 and put it on incline of 14.0 and walked for 10 minutes.  Give this treadmill workout a try next time you do your cardio.  You don't necessarily have to do the same speeds but really push yourself past a point that you thought you couldn't reach for the last 5 minutes.  It should be a sprint or close to by the time you hit 30 minutes!

Legs/Boxing/Cardio

WORKOUT10 300x120 Legs/Boxing/CardioToday I tried a new way to warm up my knee's and legs to get them ready for torture.  To kick things off I did leg extensions pyramiding up each set for 15 reps each set.  After I completed one set I went to the stair climber and on level 9.0 did this for 1 minute then went directly back to the leg ext.  3 sets of that and then did the same thing with squats. Squats I took a closer food stance today and only used 135lb for 3 sets of 15 reps and did the stair climber in between sets.

  1. Leg ext superset stairclimber 1 min 3x15

-Workout- Run/Dog Walk/Box

So far this has been yet another great trip to Roanoke.  After visiting my Dads side of the family last night I met up with my good friends Josh and Justin for drinks.  First thing I did to start my day today was went on a 4 mile run on the greenway that is in Vinton.  I couldn't go my normal speed because it was fully covered with snow.  Later on after exchanging gifts (my parents got me a new video camera so the quality of my you tube videos will be a lot better) I took my dogs Deniro and Diesel for a walk.  Now I'm going to practice a little boxing in the basement and watch the Heat vs Lakers. GO HEAT!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Here is a couple of pictures I took this morning on my run.

5 miles and runnin’

tytuty 5 miles and runnin’
no weights today. it felt good to take a day off from them because now i’m even more hungry to get in there tom night! i’ll be filming my shoulder routine along with abs/calves. for cardio today i enjoyed one of these last few mid 70’s sunny days and ran outside. Took advantage and got some vitamin D . i ended up doing a little over 5 miles in about 45-50 minutes. after the one day of me cramping up and trying to beat my time every time i ran. i decided that i enjoy running more not paying attention to the time. just running for the enjoyment and high not to try to improve my time continuously.

6 miles


 6 miles
today i decided to take a day off from the weights and just do cardio. i woke up surprisingly feeling good considering i drank quite a bit of rosé. it was a overall fun night. i went on a 6 mile run and took the dogs for a hour walk. my friend sunil which is also a trainer has been working out with me for the past 2 weeks and i set him up on a nutrition plan that he’s not following 100 percent but he’s improving by the day to follow the meal plane sense his goal is to put on 15lb of lean mass. he just told me yesterday that he has put on 5lb already sense he starting with me so i was very happy to hear that! this was a pic from last night. he was dressed as antwan dotson.
