Information on Nurtition and snacks prior to working out.

I found this site that has some good information about what you need to eat and why it is important. It also gives good ideas for snacks prior to working out or they can be eaten after the work out. Remember it is very important after the work out to consume protein to help start the rebuild of the muscles. Click here for more information!

Weight training Program by Randy Couture!!!!!

Make sure you start off with the weights light or you could definitely hurt yourself pretty easy. Think of it as you are training for a three round fight and for each round it will be two cycles with a 30 sec break and this would be the same as fighting a complete round with a break in the middle. Then you will take a one minute break between each rep, which is two cycles, just like in the UFC fights. When you are able to complete the cycle and you think it's time to up the weight, it's not, now you have the title fight and you need to go five rounds.

I think this would be a very interesting and difficult routine and with the cycles short it would be easy to fit into your day. Each cycle is about two minutes long so the total time for each round or rep would be about five minutes. If you are unable to complete the work out for all three rounds it is not a big deal you will eventually work your way up to five and by seeing your progress this will keep most people motivated.

I would suggest this routine for Monday, Wednesday and Friday and on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday these will be cardio days. You can run, hit a heavy bag and speed bag, do Kempo or any other type of cardio work out but it needs to be for no less than 30 minutes. It would also be beneficial to switch these up and have two to three different cardio routines so you can work different areas of the body. If it is at all possible swimming would be a great exercise because when you swim you are using every muscle in your body.

I will be starting this routine on January 5, 2010 and challenge anyone else to start with me. I will post progress on the blog and would like anyone that joins to comment with their daily report also to help keep everyone motivated and dedicated to training. If any one has any comments or suggestions please post.

Don't forget to take you measurements before we begin so you will be able to monitor your progress. Good luck and great work outs!!

How to choose a work out regiment!!!

There are many different work out routines that you have to choose from. If you are training for a marathon you would want to do a lot of running for the aerobic work out and of course if you where training for the Olympic power lifting teams you would want to lift lots of weights. The thing to remember is that with both goals both types of training are necessary.


If you are a runner yes you would want to run but it would also be beneficial for you to lift weights to strengthen the muscles to reduce the energy it took to run. The same can be said for the power lifter. If he was to run, maybe not five miles a day or anything, this would strengthen his heart and allow more blood to flow thru his body giving him more endurance during his training.


Which ever way you train just remember there are five types of training and each have their place and are important.
