Default Re: Please to be Evaluating my Workout Routine

[ QUOTE ]

Every other day, I do a set of pushups to failure, 50 crunches, 15 reps with the ab wheel, another set of pushups to failure, and 50 more crunches.

On my off days, I just do some form of cardio, jumping rope or whatever. And I walk at least a couple of miles every day.

Also, I do about ten minutes of stretching every day, as well.

This is a nice program. I prefer to skip the crunches in favor of occasional L-Sits and Plank static holds, mix up the push-up variations, and add pull-ups and squat/squat variations. I don't like failure-- fatigue has a way of catching up with you where you simply find you don't have the taste to workout one day, and then the next, and then three months later you remember when you used to be in shape.

It's nice to have a suite of self-test/evaluation workouts to check out your progress and keep score. You may also enjoy kettlebell training or eventually change your stance on barbell training. Diversity helps the body and mind, I think.
