Exercise Routine

[Raymond]

I've dropped 20lbs since March 1st. Lots of cardio (varied: eliptical; treadmill; spinning; jogging), lite weight-lifting, once-a-week pick-up basketball. Also, though not on a diet, I've improved my diet greatly.

I'm now down over 50 lbs. since last November. Consistent working out for the first time in over 10 years has made a world of difference for me - camp season was incredibly easy physically, relative to the season and last year.

Up through the spring I was focused on a lot of interval training and weight lifting with my longest runs being 3-4 miles. This summer I've started triathlon training and now swim, bike and run a lot. 40-50 mile bike rides once a week, a long run (8-10 miles), and then shorter rides, runs, and a bit of pool time in between. It's all made a huge difference in my cardiovascular fitness.

I'm planning to get back to some speed training and in the weight room more consistently again after I complete my last triathlon in early fall so I can be ready for the season.

I will never go back to not working out, as long as I am physically able. I feel so much better (and lighter!) than before.
