starting a topic that poses a question or looks for input from other members is fine but no "grocery list" training logs are to be kept on eF. not even in OTT.

if you want to blog your training, go to blogger or wordpress and feel free to link to it.

since these "share you routine" topics come up from time to time i won't lock it, but i'll move into the main forum.

EDIT- the nature of your first post made me assume that you intended to maintain this over a long period of time. if not then "my bad".

I was going to say somebody forgot to add milk and eggs!

let me just wax poetic , cuz i'm not trying to just be a heavy handed dick here...

what i would like to see personally is something with a little more context, some purpose, some direction, etc. not just numbers and a list of random exercises.

give us some insight into your training.

give us some insight into your training.

Monday- Monday I was pretty sore from Sunday morning and evening workout- so I ran somehwere near 6 miles on the bike trails.


tuesday morning- I didnt have much time in the morning but I stopped by the park by my office and did a xingyi combined for that takes about 1:30 to perform. this is my warm-up. I did another Form set that takes a little time- Cheng Bagua to get my stiff morning spine nice and twisted loose and good leg stretches from drop stances -pu bu.
I lastly did a Yang Taijiquan form for Warm-down before the office with focus on reverse breathing which is used in pilates. total workout time was around 15-20 minutes.


tuesday- Evening. I went to the new gym X-Sport and checked out the on the situp bench first- where I proceeded to work on pilates situps all the way down and all the way up on a 45 degree angle. I counted around 150.

I then went to one of the floor mats and did more ab workout after some shadowboxing iwth light hand weights. I worked a routine similar to what we do at Muay Thai-
10 V-ups
10 alternating elbow crunch ups
10 crunch ups
20 leg lifts
20 crunches
20 supermans
20 second back bend
20 leg lifts
20 ankle grabs
20 berry pickers
1 min. plank
20 belly ups

My Friend Kaiss from Tunsia showed up. He is learning some boxing from his cousin who trains at the YMCA. We spoke on agreeing to do some focus mitt work later. He went to warm up on jump rope while I went to do a kettlebell set similar to my boxing Coach Derek Sierra does who is Cross fit certified.

Kettle bell round-
10 over head lifts
10- hindu push ups
10- horse stance dips
10- chin raises
10 – full lifts over head
10 push ups
10 – chin raises
10- alternating arm lift to hips

After some water and recoup- Kaiss and did focus mitts. I had him started with 3 two minute rounds so he could get the feel of my focus mitt style so he could learn from it and return the favor when he holds for me. After each doing 3 rounds straight, we alternated on 6 more rounds.

aftewards i went to chill in the pool area and work on some swimming strokes for additional cardio.

Swimming-
1 lap breast stroke
1 lap back stroke
1 lap freestyle
1 lap back stroke
1 lap butterfly
1 lap back stroke
