Re: Your favorite workout regimen/routine
Yeh I like to do heavy cardio -- mostly treadmill and epliptical (SP) sometimes I switch it up to bike --
Re: Your favorite workout regimen/routine
I workout 3/4 days a week and my routine mainly consists of all body parts. For pec muscles, i go for flat bench press, incline bench press,dumbbell flies, pec deck fly. For back, I go for cable seated row, dumbbell lying row,cable close grip pulldown. For biceps i do dumbbell and barbell curls. For triceps i do tricep dips, cable incline pushdown and dumbbell kickback... well...it'll be a lot of writing if i start telling u about the lower body now.. but basically i do calf raises , deadlifts and squats for lower body. The best exercise i like to do as cardio exercise is swimming.

There is nothing like a good jog in the late evening.
Re: Your favorite workout regimen/routine
i followed DC training for a couple of months when i was weight lifting. That was awesome... The routine that i loved the most was a swim in the morning and circuit training at night. But i dont have the will or the time to do that anymore .. hehe

Re: Your favorite workout regimen/routine
running+uphill
bag punching
chinups
wow you guys have admirable routines!
I used to run like crazy in short bursts, like 7.0 mph alternating with 5.0 mph for 15 minutes but I read an article about how hard running can compress your spinal discs, and make you lose a half inch in height. since i'm vain, what i do now is just walk on the treadmill at a leisurely pace (like 3.0 mph) but at a very high incline, between 8 and 15%. This will give you really toned legs and butt and you'll still break a sweat.
