I used to run six days per week, but added an extra rest day a couple of years ago and really felt much better, as far as leg health goes
Even though I don't run on those days, I still try to get in a pretty good core and upper body workout
Here's what happened on Monday ...
- 100 Ups
- weighted side bends
- 2 x 30 banded oblique twists
- 3 x 30 stability ball crunch
- 3 x 30 stability ball back extension
- 2 x 10 ab wheel
- 2 x 1:05 plank ... front, back, & sides
- 2 x 1:05 hip bridge
- 4 x 25 push ups
- 2 x 12 incline bench press
- 2 x 15 TRX back flies
- 2 x 8 pull ups
- 3 x 20 banded deltoid flies
- 2 x 40 neck raise
Pull ups are pretty weak right now, but they've never been a strong point for me ... hopefully I'll change that this cycle
Music today ...

Pretty decent workout, but nowhere near where it needs to be ... work in progress!
... Be Great Today!
Looks like a solid workout regime. I used to lift a bit but now I focus on running. If the winter gets bad I'll join a gym but for now the bike trail is my gym.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of weighted side bends. I remember Arnold Schwarzenegger saying it made your obliques bigger not stronger.
I used to run five days a week but now I am 6 or 7. Jury is still out as to whether it is helping.
That is certainly no rest day! I try to do upper body and core 4 times per week but my routines are not even a patch to your's. Even a small workout still makes me feel better for the day than nothing at all. That just sucks.
