Finding the balance
Posted: October 7th, 2008, 3:10 pm
I have been on the erg for 6 years. Since 2005, my cardio program has been rowing, brisk walking, cycling, some running on trails. I hope to add swimming next month. (2002 thru July 2005 was almost all focused on the erg.) In the past quarter, my workouts (including rest days which come once in nine days or so) are averaging 72 min/day. I rarely do the same exercise two days in a row. (Now that our weather is changing, I will probably be on the erg more than otherwise. Plus swimming.) My gaps are lack of specific training on upper body strength and, despite the cardio, I am carrying too much weight. The good side is my cardio fitness is good. My legs are strong.
The reason for my entry on the forum is to get feedback from people who also cross-train what their thought process is for choosing their weekly workout program. I am not very analytical which seems not quite right.
