Perfect Combo



Most trainers and fitness professionals advocate cross training for all level of athletes. Generally this involves aerobic and anaerobic routines threaded through the week with a day of rest and stretching or yoga. I like the concept. When following a schedule like this I use the rest and stretch days for lighter cardio to preserve the integrity of The Streak. 

Recently, I set out to create my own 90 day program. I just finished the first month. I use a variety of routines from programs like P90X and Insanity as well as a healthy dose of running and a dash of yoga. Part one went well. I find is the alternating plan of cardio followed by resistance creates a nice balance and doesn’t over stress any one section of the body. However, I sort of yearn for a workout, roughly 40 minutes, of cardio and resistance combined. I’m toying with some ideas. More to follow. 

Push. Pull. Lift. Step or Run.

  1. I got new shoes! We ran the yellow trail yesterday. Mt.Everest at the .75 mark makes any incline at Hembree Park seem like a speed bump. A warning about that would've been nice. See you next week for our run/lunch.
