Yeah, spinervals are tough!

Good job on the 30 minutes. Generally you will want to do at least one workout where you keep your heartrate at an "endurance" level - 65-75%. At some point you will vary your workouts and do some "tempo" training where you will maintain a higher heart rate for a period of time. Then you will also want to do some "interval" work with a very high heart rate for short period of time, followed by a recovery period, then more intervals. They are hard, but I really like interval workouts.

sounds good

i tend to steer away from monitoring my HR.. having a bit of a physiology background - i've noticed monitoring it during exercise to be quite unreliable, esp. after too many coffees, not enough sleep, diff. temps, hormonal change.. all affecting HR.. i dunno, we'll see. it's great for athletes monitoring their progress, it's gotta be useful for me i'm sure.. yes yes.. we'll see

no guilt from me donjon, i'm doing sweet FA today.

Swam 40 minutes this morning.

I also copied a strength training program for triathletes from the active.com website.

I am going to try to make myself start strength training again.

Raining this morning so no walking the dogs or running through the park.

I walked 10 minutes on the treadmill at the gym, then ran 40 minutes. I hate treadmills! I have two blisters on my toes for some reason. Somehow I guess I run differently on the treadmill than on the road?????

2 miles running.

20 minutes playing squash by myself :(
then eliptical, bench press, incline press, flys & tricep pull downs.

My chest will be hurting on Saturday!

Interesting read.

Im back into strength at the moment. Noticed when I was doing hi intensity work it was the strength part I was struggling with (and Im definitely no brick shithouse...in fact quite small.)

I did 'Fran' one day
21 thrusters, 21 chins, 15 thrusters,15 chins, 9 and 9 - which with 30kg I can do in just over 5 mins.

Put me up to 60 kg (the recommended weight) and it took nearly 4 mins to do the first set alone and I was busted from then on. This really gave me the shits!!!!!!!!

So from that day on Ive been doing thrusters everyday since and varying the weight between 40 and 50 depending on what I superset it with. Im getting there

If within a month I can do it even close to this chap with 40kg (he's lifting 60) in a month and Id be stoked. But I wont :rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV6Ea6yoHhw&feature=related

And my workout in about 2 hrs will be more of the same.

What are your goals? i.e. being a body builder type, or just obtaining a certain level of fitness, etc?

Do you also do aerobic exercise?

Good question - I never thought of that. I suppose just to keep a certain level of fitness. No care for massive heavy weights and bulking up.

I get bored laying on a bench pushing out xkg bench press etc. I rather drop the weight and do it on a ball or use cables.

I have been doing a lot of stuffed that involves timing lately (filthy fifties, fran etc) so I suppose in that sense that is a short term goal.

Whilst Im doing a lot more anaerobic at the mo I have and always will do some form of aerobic

Well, pretty much a typcial back day for me today:
squash for 20 minutes by myself again, I REALLY need to find someone to play with!
Then 4x10 of 50# cable rows
4x10 of 35# curls
4x10 of 40# pull-downs
4x10 of 55# shrugs
Got on the eliptcal for 3 minutes between each exercise
It was a decent workout

Swam this morning - 36 minutes. Goal was 40, but I couldn't make myself. I hate swimming laps! Especially with sinus problems. It makes my head hurt looking down and I get all woozy.

I ran 5.33 miles yesterday, but oh so slow. My body was not cooperating.

I am vowing that once the election is over, weight training will start. Here is an article about endurance sports and strength training. It lists four types of endurance sports participants that benefit from strength training. I meet three of the four (I'm not skinny). I have poor upper body strength, I am a weak cyclist, and I have muscular imbalance (I have scoliosis).

Ok guys I need a little motivation. I work out twice a day, and have for a long time, but I have been at a pateau for a while and I'm starting to get frustrated. I do cardio and strength training and work out with a personal trainer twice a week. I think I just need a little inspiration to get me motivated again. I don't miss workouts I just don't think I'm putting as much in to it as I used to. Any advice???
