My Exercise Routine: Revised

I changed my workout routine once again. I shoot for 30 minutes of cardio rather than 20 minutes. I also work my legs and lower-back every day in addition to whatever muscle group I decide to work out that day.

Specifically, I cross-train between the cardio machines (excluding the bike - because it’s boring). I give myself a goal of “3’s”. I travel 3 miles, burn 300 calories, or go for 30 minutes - whichever comes last. Each day I use a different machine. Either the elliptical, treadmill, or stairclimber.

Cardio is definitely my weak spot. I could lift weights all day long… but weightlifting burns less calories. This new 3’s routine seems to keep me motivated with cardio. Plus, at the end of the workout (after I lift weights)… I treat myself to the sauna!

Mostly, this works because once I hit that final mark… once I go the distance of 3 miles… I get off the stupid machine! YES! I’m outta here!

Here are some of my favorite weight-lifting exercises:
1) Squats
2) Triceps overhead extension
3) Sit ups
4) Push ups
5) Swimmers (lay on front, lift legs and arms)
