That grinding noise is me switching gears

May 24, 2009 18:31

I'm going to hate myself for doing this, but it's time to change gears on my workouts.  I currently have a nagging shoulder pain I can' quite lock down, and the ongoing inner abdominal issue, which basically feels like a back injury.

So here's the new workout plan, for the next month.

10 min walking
a set of multijoint exercises on machines, no rest, 10 reps, in this body order:
legs
chest
back
shoulders
bicep
tricep

10 min walking.

start out with one round, for the first week, 2 rounds for the second, 3 rounds for week  3 and 4.

give up in frustration because it feels like your in basic training and basic only goes on for so long.

Try your best to keep your heart rate in the fat burning zone.  If you feel the need for 2 or 3 exercises per body part, try to keep them to the big areas, like chest or legs, your biceps don't need 3 exercises for this.

The idea is to drop the intensity of the weights down a notch, up the aerobics a notch, and leave a pool of melted grease on the floor around the treadmill.  Assuming you live, your doctor will love how your resting heart rate has dropped,  along with a few pounds.

Start sweating boys.
