My Current Workout Routine

You can read about my past fitness routines and such including P90X, HIT and more here.

Based on all of that research and experience, I vary my workouts always looking for the “perfect” program/routine. I don’t like wondering what I’m going to do for my workout each time.

So here’s the base of the what I’m currently doing…

 

 

 

 

Week A: High Reps

• Monday: 3 muscle groups plus legs – 10 sets of 10 reps (100 reps x 4 moves = 400 reps)
• Tues, Wed: 45-60 mins steady state (elliptical)
• Thursday: 3 (different) muscle groups plus legs – 10 sets of 10 reps
• Fri, Sat: 45-60 mins steady state (elliptical)
• Sunday: Off or stretch or whatever (this time of year I mow the lawn)
• NOTE: To get to 10 reps in all 10 sets, you may need to use less weight, use your legs on pull-ups, etc.

Week B: Super Sets

• Monday: 3 muscle groups – super-sets (8-10 reps, 3 sets, 3-5 min rest btwn super-set)
• Tues, Wed: 45-60 mins steady state (elliptical)
• Thursday: 3 (different) muscle groups – super-sets (8-10 reps, 3 sets, 3-5 min rest btwn super-set)
• Fri, Sat: 45-60 mins steady state (elliptical)
• Sunday: Off or stretch or whatever (this time of year I mow the lawn)
• NOTE: To make these really push to fatigue/failure, you might need to use more weight, use push-up bars, etc.
