How to Workout

First off I can make it to the gym about 3 days a week.
My main goals are:




  1. Build my Endurance
  2. Basic Cardio
  3. Fat Loss

Why Endurance?: I want to build my endurance for snowboarding/wakeboarding. Last summer I would get so tired that I would be unable to complete more than one lap around the lake. My goal for this summer is 2.

Why Cardio?: I sit all day at work so I need to do something to get my heart rate up and at least move some blood around. This will also hopefully help with goal 3.

Why Fat loss?: I started getting a "beer gut" this last year. Basically my job involves sitting in front of a computer all day. My fat loss goal is to look reasonable with my shirt off. No big deal there.

For a three day program I have to do less isolation than I would like so I have split my workouts into two separate days

Leg Day:

  • 40 minute cardio(in my case I like the elliptical)
  • Quad Machine
  • Hamstring Machine
  • Calf Machine
  • Full Leg Press

Upper body day:

  • 25 minute cardio
  • Biceps + Triceps (on universal cable machine)
  • Shoulders (free weights)
  • Chest press
  • incline
  • various back machines

I am still refining it and I should probally get the real names of the exercises but so far I have already lost an inch or so from my waist and feel great.

Hi: I was looking for information on San Diego hotels and can upon your site. I'm working on a site about San Diego & Tijuana dentists and looking for any good facts that I might be able to incorporate into my site to really provide an in-depth information source. After reading your Blog, I found it interesting, but, it wasn't what I was looking for. Well I'm off again in search for some good info.
