Geez, I saw Coach Nick on-line and he’s got me doin’ the body saws to 30-40 degrees out. Again, Coach Nick T. Does these circuits at the end of the weight lifting in order not to go in tired to the heavier work.. Makes sense to me. Great blog, Fitcast. Much appreciated. thanks

I haaate cardio work, so I have to keep it interesting. My gym’s cardio equipment all have TVs, so I’ll play games where I’ll blast it out during a commercial break, race to get my heartrate up to a certain level before Iron Chef comes back on, or hop machines each time a show segment is over.

Nice post Kevin. I like doing these types of things at the START of my lifting workout. Yeah, I then need to rest a while before getting into the lifting, but I think they make great warm-ups.

Hi Kevin, I’m currently doing a barbell complex for 5 circuits and 10 reps per exercise. I’m using a 15kg weight.

A) RDL
b) bent over row
c) hang clean
d) front squat
e) push press
f) alternating lunge with bar on back

do you have any comments on how I might improve my condition progressively (adding weight vs adding reps vs adding circuits) and my current standard of fitness?

Kevin,

Here’s one I using the Val slides:

a1. Val slide prone knee tuck 3 x 12
a2. Val slide mountain climber 3 x 6/side
a3. Val slide pike 3 x 12
a4. Val slide body saw 3 x 12
a4. Val slide prone hip abduction 3 x 12

make it harder ..use one leg.., or add an alligator walk.

Really nice post here, Kev. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only person who would have exercise ADD if I went and did the same thing at the gym day in & day out. I recently posted some alternated forms of cardio on my blog…
