OUTDOOR WORKOUT 1

Tuesday July 23, 1 mile run and body-weight exercises: 2 sets to failure of push-ups, and leg lifts Tip for six-pack abs: Start with exercises that engage the lower abs first.  If you start with crunches first (that don't engage lower abs) the upper abs will reach failure before lower abs. Hence a very cut four-pack.  To avoid this, start with a lower abdominal exercise first such as the leg raise before crunches.  Then, progress to hanging leg raises.

WORKOUT 2 & 3

By
Saturday June 1st 6 mile run along bike/run path.  Made goal of running from El Cerrito to Downtown Berkeley today. The distance is a just under 6 miles total.   Though, today was not a full non-stop run.  I stopped for 11.48 minutes to complete some upper body exercises. 1 set to failure of: - pull-ups - chin-ups - push ups Nice day today.  Had a great workout. P.S. Later in the day I walked about 4-5 miles again. (el cerrito to berkeley)  Even though I was shopping for a power cord....I'm including this as a physical activity workout because walking is a form of exercise that benefits health.  How can you add more walking to your daily routine?
