I used to jog a lot 1 year ago, 5-10 km, 5 times a week. (1 mile = 1.6093 km, for you silly americans who doesn't use the metric system).
After doing that for half a year without my condition/endurance getting any better, I stopped running. And decided to gain weight and do weights to get bigger instead.
I stumbled across my little sisters book about the body yesterday. Reading that the muscles were divided into 2 groups.
Musclefiber I and II, I having LOTS of endurance, but not a lot of power.
And II, the one having lots of maximal power, the strong muscles, run fast, and good leaping power (ability to jump high far/high). Again divided into 2, one with good endurance (the perfect one), and the one with BAD endurance (*cough*). People use to have I and II combined. Lots of one of them are required when competing at pro level.
So after a year, I started to do weights and machines. Training with my 2 buddies, a body builder of a monster (lifts 130kg easily, americans: 1 pound = 0.454kg, 286 pounds), and a rower on the Norwegian junior national team, (superiour strenght and endurance, also have 2 other buddies whos almost in at the junior national team in cross-country skiing, but they run a lot, so I don't train with them). It's really fun.
So to the training schedual!
30 x 5 sit-ups, 3 times a day, morning, evening, night, 7 times a week.
(I suck at sit ups).
50 x 2 push-ups, 3 times a day, morning, evening, night, 7 times a week.
Monday, Tuesday, Sunday, I train on my bicep, 1-2 hours.
Wednesday, Saturday, tricep and the back. 1-2 hours. (just started with this).
Phew! 10 minutes.. Wasn't my plan to type this much..
So do any of you workout? If so tell us about your workout routines, and if you got a little story like me, please share it
Sit-ups and push-ups doesn't take lots of time, so if you don't work out, try to do some, it helps. :grin:
Being sick saturday night is boring, so I decided to write this
