Toast Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 So yesterday I decided to do a cardio workout since I'm planning on lifting Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and doing cardio and core stuff Tuesday and Thursday. When I went yesterday, I ran on and off for a mile on a treadmill but was lost as to what to do after that. So I just migrated over to the machines and did some strength work outs. Squats, Shoulder Press, Chest Press, and Back Extension. Then I ended with sit ups and leg ups. (By the way, I'm not sure if I'm doing leg ups properly. Is there a video somewhere I can reference to?) I'm pretty sure there's running guides on NF, but I can't find them at the moment. Anyone know any guides for beginners? Link to comment
Burizado Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 There are some running articles marked here in the Free Resources. Just my experience. I started doing Strong Lifts 5x5 M,W,F and cardio type workouts Tu,TH as well. My go-to was biking, because I destested running. I would do intervals to get a good cardio workout. For example:10 min. warm up4 rounds: 60 sec. RPE 5 ; 120 sec. recover5 min. easy pedaling10 rounds: 30 sec. RPE 9 ; 30 sec. recover10 min. cool down47 min. total Then as your stamina goes up add more rounds to the RPE 9 section, up to 20 rounds. Not sure of your level of fitness, but this would always kick my butt and make me feel I got a great cardio workout. I am starting to get into running more now that I am trying Crossfit type workouts, so in the future I might try translating that formula to running. Link to comment

Toast Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Alright thanks a lot guys. I'm not too keen on cycling because I personally don't feel as satisfied cycling than I do running. Link to comment
