Sohan Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) Ran this morning for about 4 miles by starting at 6 mph and increasing by .5 mph per 5 minutes until I got to 30 mins, topping out at 8.5 mph. 1 percent grade. Took a nap after client sessions, then got ready to train this afternoon.--General warmup--Shadow boxed 3 x 3 min rounds boxing only, then 3 x 3 mins with elbows and knees (not the KF poster!). Emphasis on footwork and quick combos. 30 sec rest between.--Burpees 3 x 10 reps with ten lb med ball. Focus on quality and explosiveness.--Medicine Ball Overhead Toss/Catch with 50 lb ball. 3 x 10 reps.--Medicine Ball Straight Out Holds (5 count) 3 x 6 reps with 30 lb ball.--Weighted Situps (25 lb plate) 2 x 50 reps.--Russian Twists with 25 lb plate. 3 x 25 reps.--Speed Situps. 2 x 25 as fast as possible with good form.--Walking Lunges 3 sets without straightening legs during.--Forearm Dumbbell Twists. Dumbbell handle with 10 weight at one end. 3 x 10-12 reps.--Ab Wheel. 2 x 10 reps with 20 lb weight vest. From knees first set, from toes last two sets.--Cooldown and Stretching.About 60 mins total. Not too bad for a old guy who just turned 40 yesterday. With respect,Sohan Edited October 12, 2006 by Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

Akaratechick Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I'm impressed. I work out on Mon and Thur at the dojo and Tues. and Fri I do Pilates, there are times I would like to work out twice in one day but am afraid that it will affect my class performance. Happy Belated Birthday!!! I'm 42 and don't really feel much different than when I was younger except I seem to take a lot of vitamins and supplements and occasionly fall asleep in the recliner and I thought only old people did that.

bushido_man96 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Happy birthday, Sohan!! The workouts you do give me inspiration to work harder, and try to push myself more. Keep up the good work!! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Sohan Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks y'all....It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm 40. I think I'll probably be in denial for at least another decade.

Empty_Hand Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I am rapidly approaching the big 40 myself, this Jan in fact. I'm looking at it all with this motto "40, it's the new 20!" Seriously though, your workout is an inspiration! "Without Ki, without Kime, there is no true Karate"
mustbnuts Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Happy birthday!I turned 40 this summer and actually started training after my birthday. I wish I would have started at an earlier age ofcourse, but I do feel better than I have in 15 years. When your on your back, it doesn't matter what put you there.

GMac Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Happy belated birthday, I just recently started karate and i will turn 40 next March. I hope to be half that active at that time
Sohan Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 Happy belated birthday, I just recently started karate and i will turn 40 next March. I hope to be half that active at that timeThanks, GMac. Nice to hear you've joined the ranks. Just keep at it and never give up, and a few years from now you'll wonder why you didn't start earlier!..........If anyone is interested, here is another workout I did yesterday at the track before evening karate. I got the idea from another trainer, and modified it slightly:400m Sandbag carry (100 lb sandbag)400m runSandbag clean and press x 8 reps5 Burpees(No rest between exercises)Three repetitions of this cycle in total. I'm not supposed to rest between cycles, but I gave myself a minute anyway. Tough workout, and then we worked kata for an hour and a half last night. I am indeed wiped today.
