Workout Routine
This post outlines my weekly workout routine. I've decided to share it for two main reasons:
- I always loose the printed note of my routine
- It might help you to create your own
Each week I complete four training sessions. On Mondays and Fridays, I do the workouts at the local playground. To make it a bit more difficult, I carry a backpack with 3 bottles of water which adds ~ 5kg.
Wednesdays and Sundays are gym days, where I can use the full range of equipment.
For all workouts, I follow the following rest structure:
- 1 minute between sets
- 5-8 minutes between exercises
