Wow i had a couple of days away from this cause i thought nobody was biting.
In terms of fitness i agree with what most people have been saying, you have to be fit to do higher type fitness. And what i outlined wasn't just something i jumped into. I was mega unfit 1 year ago and i started with jogging 200 metres and walking 1k to what i out lined in my first post.
As for the cardio i was up to 10ks - 15ks with a 21k run just before i slowed it down for the summer (too hot in queensland) and replaced it with swimming. I also knocked it right back cause i found it was great for getting my fitness up but after a while i could just keep running for 1-2 hours and not really feel like it was doing anything extra fitness wise.
My goals is just fitness, this is the fitest ive ever been but i can feel in my body i can achieve more and with every week i try and notch it up a little more. But i allow my body do dictate if i can add an extra set or if i need the extra break.
How i made this routine was by pinching a bit here and a bit there from a heap of post on this forums and from just other research on the net. It just evolved this way.
My question is there bits i should replace or do different or are there bits i can change or are there things i should think about doing in the future and replace this altogether.
From the answers i see should i be doing more reps and less sets and dropping the runs/sprints? and dropping the 8 exerices and move to just 3?
