And you didn't even mention that weight training is so much more preferable to the boring tediousness of running. HA! Johns last blog post..July 31st, Run: Frustration, Sadness, and Hope (To Be Continued…)

The squats are the main reason I didn’t start the stronglifts workout. I am not a big fan of squats especially without a squat rack. I need to work on hip flexibility and balance before I try that workout regiment.

I’m planning of doing stronglifts.com’s 5×5 program as soon as my half marathon is done.

I’m waiting till then as Stronglifts requires a lot of squat work and I don’t want to overdo it on the legs!

I am doing a 3 day a week weights workout (or plan to start I should say) that takes about 45 minutes or so every time you do it. Yes, it does take time, but if you can’t find 45 minutes in your day to do a little exercise, y ou’ve got igger problems!

Great comments on weight training. I specifically like and recommend High Intensity Interval Weight Training, because of the value in both weight training and cardiovascular improvements. In other words, you get the benefit of cardio without the long time required for cardio. One also gets the benefit of weight training too all in the same workout.

I started with the weight training exercises in the 8 minute workout by Jorge Cruise. It was a great first step. I had weight lifted before, but never on a consistent basis. I was able to commit to the 8 to 15 minutes it required for the Jorge Cruise book 6 days a week.

After a few months of doing that workout, I felt like I was bored. I moved to the abs diet workout. I loved it. The workout is excellent for home dumbbell use, and very easy to adapt to your level. The negative is it takes longer (3o to 45) each workout. The positive is you only do it 3 days a week.

Now here is where I get caught up. Since, my workout is longer, Its much more difficult to block the time, and I often skip workout days when sluggish or unmotivated. Additionally, without the rigid everyday schedule it is much more difficult for me to build momentum of not wanting to get off track.

It’s kind of like the sign you see at construction sites. Injury free for 638 days. Well, when on the 8 minute workout, I’d build my own sign. Worked-out 18 days/weeks straight. The momentum was motivating.

Everyone has to find what’s right for themselves.
