Workout for 2/28/13

Today's workout is not very involved, but will definitely get the job done!

Workout:
8 mile run immediately followed by
8 mile bike

The plan:
I'm going to drive over to the next town, which is 8 miles away. Then I'll park my car, run home, get on my bike, and bike back to get my car. Sounds simple enough right? Feel free to break it up if you want or do different distances. Bottom line, get moving!

Yours In Health,
Steven

Workout for 2/24/13

Today's workout was as follows:

1 mile Run
25 Push-ups (full range of motion)
25 Sit-ups
25 Pull-ups
25 Sit-ups
50 Bodyweight squats
25 Burpees
1/4 mile of walking lunges
1 mile Run

This workout wasn't timed, but feel free to time yourself for comparisons down the road. The 1/4 mile of lunges was tough. This was my second time around with this and here's my piece of advice for completing it: find a good, steady pace and try to push through as much pain as you can before stopping to briefly stretch your legs. Then get right back to it. If it sounds like a daunting task to complete at the end of workout, don't worry, you can do it. Just break it down into smaller sections and knock them out one at a time until you're done.
