Todd's Workout log

just finished up todays workout, figured if i get it up and on the site the constant fact that its in my face will motivate me to keep this up. Any questions or comments on the workout, please let me know. Also let me point out i am just getting into shape, i will alter the intensity of the workout once i get conditioned again, this is just a "tune up" if you will.

Good to see your looking to get back into shape, all I can suggest is increasing the reps per set of each exercise every week. This way your exercises are going to get more intense every week. Also try different variations of pushups to work different muscle groups, ie; 10x knuckle, hands out, hands in, wide pushups. To make up the 40 pushups, rather than just 40 normal.

Same goes with the crunches, do a few crunches, then have your legs straight in the air and do crunches that way. The key is variation, makes your workouts more exciting and reduces adaptation by your muscles.

Good to see you've made a log mate, keep us updated

thanks for the recomendations salty, i already do it with crunches, i do 20 regular, then 20 bicycle style, back to 20 regular, ect... but pushups, thats a good idea. I get to hit the mits a few times a week with my friend simply holding them practicing the jab most of the time, just moving and throwing the jab. I want my jab to be my main tool, quick and punishing, so i try to practice it often.
