| The data has started to come in. This first week was just my usual routine which looks like this.
Warm up for 5 minutes on the treadmill just to limber up. Then do 1 minute on, 1 minute off intervals for one mile. The low side of the interval is at 5 mph and the high side is at 8mph. Good and warmed up after that.
Jump rope in 1 minute sets for 4 minutes. The first 3 sets are two turns per second, the last minute is as fast as I can go and usually averages out to a bit over 200 turns in a minute.
starting to breath hard now.
pyramids of situps, pushups, weighted squats and medicine ball slams. 1 minute each to start, then 45s, 30s, 15s with no rest in between activities and a 45s rest between sets.
sweating good now.
4 to 5 minutes on the speed bag, then some light weight work to get the arms ready for about 4 minutes. Mostly focusing on traps and triceps.
15 minutes on the heavy bag doing 3 minute rounds with 30 second breaks.
walk for 2 minutes to cool down, go to work and have lunch.
I did variations of this routine for a week and so far, the numbers indicate that my blood sugar doesn't like this one bit. I increase my blood sugar by roughly 50 points by the time I leave the gym and eating afterwards runs me anywhere from an additional 50 to an additional 200. Roughly three hours later, things start to come back to normal. Keep in mind, I'm on no meds and have fairly lose control of my numbers (Dr agreed to letting me try things on my own for a bit first)
I would call this routine an aerobic and anaerobic mix. Next week I'm going to do pure anaerobic. |
