I think I have heard everything now with the texting to find out what workout to do...

You guys are getting entirely too wrapped around the axle with this CF/Gym Jones stuff. Do you need so much supervision in your workouts that you cant do it without someone else telling you what to do? I am all for regimented routines, but you guys are taking it a bit far. Just freaking do something for God's sake.

Frostfire,

If you are having trouble finding a gym, try the website listed below. It has a variety of exercises and videos showing how to perform each. I dont believe there are many machine exercises, but they make good use of free weights, swiss balls, bands, chains, and medicine balls. Might give you some further ideas for your program. Glad its going well.

If for some reason the web address doesnt work, you should be able to find it with a google search.

Milon has much knowledge of exercise and conditioning. I have discussed this with many Exercise physiologist, ATCs, PTs etc, who have all the same qualifications. I will say for those of you seeking some advice, the "Blitz" system is NOT based on HDT or anything else you can think of. Totally different. Blitzzz

I've looked at the Blitz system & like what I see for the most part. The only problem I see with it is that it doesn't list any or certain exercises to perform or even categorized exercises. Someone new to working out could pick the wrong exercises, perform the system perfectly and miss certain muscle groups that would need worked.

Basically seems like a good system for people who have a good understanding of working out/muscle groups needing worked but not for someone new & on their own.

Let me know if I'm missing something or there is more information that I haven't read (I've only seen the 'Blitz Power Workout.pdf') or you have a list of suggested exercises.

Scheduling workouts so they don't overlap takes some thought but working myself to the point of vomiting is always a great feeling.

3 days on, 1 day off is my schedule as well as taking a 3 day break every third week. Running is done at night as part of my evening workouts, mostly sprint workouts (400M repeats, ladders, fartlek, etc). I save my long runs for Sundays, 7 miler.

Fartleks are something else. Griffs, too. I never would have though running backwards for a quarter of a mile at a time would do anything for me, but it put the lactic acid where it needed to go.
