Action--Weight Training

Rather than last year, when I worked on CArdiovascular fitness, this year I focused on improving my strength and general shape. I do a lot of weight lifting and routine exercises rather than runs now. My daily routine goes as every morning, 20 push ups and 40 crunches, and every night 20 push ups and 60 crunches. Though this has creatly improved my shape, it is primarily oriented at maintaing a good body. I am no longer improving from this, but I am maintaining my body shape and muscle. I am not too interested in building extra muscle, but this keeps me in good shape. Every Saturday, a personal trainer, Pius, comes to my house. First of all I do 5 minutes of stretching, followed by a 5 minute sprint around my garden. Then I do about 10 minutes of push ups of crunches. After that I work on my muscles, using weights I do chest presses, arm raises, and arm lifts. I do scissors for about 5 minutes after that, which greatly helps my abs. After that I stretch to cool down and thats it. So along with my daily routine, I have a saturday of vigarous excersize. In total, all of this means I am in much better shape than the beginning of the year. I have much more energy throughout the day, and generally feel a lot more self confident day to day.
