After work I did my exercise routine. I am getting closer to my "ideal" one hour workout for non running days. First I start out with Tai Chi, the Yang style as modified by Chen Man Ching which takes about twelve minutes, this is a good warm-up. Next I do 25 to 30 minutes of stretching and Yoga followed by my 100 push-up and sit-up initiative (currently at 40 push-ups and 55 sit-ups) then I do 25 arm curls with 15 pound dumbells. Last night this all took about 58 minutes so I added a few repetitions of climbing the stairs. As I do more push-ups and sit-ups my workout will take longer than one hour and I may add pull-ups to my routine once I reach 100 push-ups and 200 sit-ups. On the running days I am running a 5k three times per week until the last week of January when I start training for the half marathon in April.
All of the above exercise is meant to keep me fit, I would also like to eventually run a marathon and complete a triathlon-stay tuned for more as I complete my journey.

Nice work! I've thought about trying the 100 pushups thing but it seems daunting. Be interested to see how that goes for you...
ReplyDeleteI had to slow down the progress because the suggested program was too aggressive so I modified it. I only add one rep to each set after I can complete the current number for one week i.e. three times.
ReplyDeleteWow Dad you are incredible
ReplyDeleteReplying to your G305 question - I'm no expert, but yes that's the one I would still recommend. There's a newer one (405) but it doesn't do anything more (that I need) than the 305, but costs about double. It's a little smaller which is nice.
ReplyDeleteYou can find a bunch of great reviews, including the G305 on this guy's blog:
