Today was an odd day for the lifting crew, as the gym was opened an hour after our arrival. While this was not ideal for us, it gave me more time for a dynamic warmup and stretching. I didn't lift today as the muscles and body felt pretty fatigued as I destroyed my legs yesterday. Today was a focus on stamina and endurance. I hammered the bike for 1.5 hours then finished with 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes of an ab routine. The focus is to keep my cardio up to snuff in the offseason as it is easy to get attached to the lifting, eating, no cardio lifestyle. That lifestyle results in the addition of bodyweight and that is not my goal. My philosophy is to train hard, lift heavy, eat smartly, and keep my cardio up to snuff. There's nothing worse than as an athlete going for a jog and ending up winded and tired. That's why I always try to keep my cardio up to snuff.
Bike Circuit: 10 rounds
jog 10 resistance- 1 minute
sprint 15 resistance- 1 minute
1 hour cooldown jog/ride 1-10 resistance- focus on flushing the legs out
Treadmill-10 rounds
jog- 6 speed- 1 minute
sprint-10 speed-1 minute
Abs: 10-35 minutes
The workout resulted in 725 active calories being burned, and a total of 880 calories being burned. On the day, I burned 3,335 total calories and 1,345 active calories.
