<p>What do you do to get in some exercise (if any)?
Up until it started to get hot I jogged around my neighborhood. I haven't been too great at doing it this summer though...need to get back in the habit...</p>
<p>I definitely am not working out this summer. At least not independently. </p>
<p>Volleyball conditioning/tryouts start on the 15th of August… I’ll wait for then.</p>
<p>I go the gym to do weight training for an hour or two </p>
<p>mon-pecs tues-triceps wed-biceps thur-shoulders fri-back sat- legs sun- REST!</p>
<p>After I usually do some biking or running but I’m not big on running. I guess I play basketball all the time too but usually thats for fun.</p>
<p>tennis. makes my calves go ripped again. and gives me a round bicep on my right arm…</p>
<p>other than that- who got a free pair of dumbells (6 or 7 or 8 lbs for starters) they wanna mail me? :P</p>
<p>“mon-pecs tues-triceps wed-biceps thur-shoulders fri-back sat- legs sun- REST!”</p>
<p>you should try to change your workout</p>
<p>unless you’re extremely advanced, it should be something like mon- upper body
tues- lower body/abs, etc. </p>
<p>i did what you were doing a while back and wasted an entire year</p>
<p>^that doesnt make sense either. thats two consecutive days of working out and youre doing an upper and lower body split.</p>
<p>Powerlifting = full body workout
Power squat, power clean, deadlift is all I do (though usually not all in the same workout). Although I suggest you don’t do it until after you grow to be 6 foot or so.</p>
<p>^^if you’re not working the same muscles, it doesn’t matter that it’s consecutive days. also, if you aren’t lifting heavy (like 3 sets of <8 or 5 sets of 5) you can go ahead and do the same thing consecutively, but you’ll be building endurance not strength. look up any program online or ask anybody who plays football, basketball, wrestling, swimming, or track, and you’ll generally get the same response.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i hope you are joking man. a third grader can lift those with relative ease.</p>
<p>^Depends on what you’re doing. 15 is a good starting point for most things, but you’ll have trouble with flies.</p>
<p>

<p>yea, it’s sad: im fully aware of that fact. problem is: i havnt had any access to weights except for the weight room or such in the school… and they’re closed for the summer! (having an asian mother does not help at all…)</p>
<p>yea, i needed to work out my arms (i have mesomorph body, but too much thigh/leg/calf and not enough arm… no no. big foremarms are not enough for me… i need at least sizable shoulders/biceps/triceps…))</p>
<p>yea, it’s sad. whatever.</p>
<p>Shouldn’t be that hard to find a place locally where you can buy a 15 lb dumbbell (or two).</p>
<p>heh. </p>
<p>it’s gonna be fun looking at the prices: we’re living in bare-necessity mode at the moment…</p>

<p>and cardio… random running around the neighborhood</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They’re not that expensive. You could probably get a pair for $15, maybe a bit more depending on the area. You might be able to look online, especially if you’re in a big city?</p>
<p>Mon-Sun</p>
<ol>
<li>Sit on couch (3 reps)</li>
<li>Turn on TV (2 reps)</li>
<li>Change channel (10-20 reps, more if doing cardio)</li>
</ol>
<p>I run four miles everyday during the weekday (2 miles in the morning and 2 in the evening). On Saturday I go to the gym to lift weights. Also, I do soccer training exercises during the week as well, for about an hour.</p>
<p>Well, it’s the summer, so maybe… 6 mile runs, twice a month, lol.</p>
<p>But when track season arrives, I’ll be, depending on the week or time of season, doing the following…</p>
<p>Mon: 12x100, 4 mile run
Tues: 5x400 (increasing intensity)
Wed: 6x200 (400m race pace)
Thurs: 1x200, 1x300, 1x400, 1x500; repeat
Fri: 8x200 (sub-30s)
Sat: 4-6 mile run (if I’m up to it)
Sun: R&R</p>
<p>I’ll also do weight training MWF; upper body on Monday, core and lower back Wednesday, and lower body Friday.</p>
<p>Personally, I think the team’s coach is pushing us too hard :rolleyes:.</p>
<p>OK. here’s my real workout:</p>
<p>2-3 hours of tennis everyday. (serves, matchplay)
some weightlifting with 1 gallon water jugs… :p</p>
<p>

<p>lol . :)</p>
