I normally work out six days a week. I'll do Pilates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and I'll do cardio on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Besides controlling my diet, I did functional training, weights, pilates and cardio everyday.
Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.
Generally, I'll have three training sessions a day.
Inactivity is death.
What is different is I am giving the kids a chance to train every day. Not only once a day, but sometimes when they do not have school, we will try to do something in the morning too.
As for swimming, I'm now in the pool 5 days a week from 8 to 10 a.m. And I'm in the gym for an hour and a half, 4 days a week. Two days upper body, two days lower.
I'm actually very active.
If you can get to the gym 4-5 days a week, that would be perfect. You can still do chest/tri's, back/bi's, legs, shoulders, and make the fifth day a cleanup day, meaning focus on body parts you may be weaker in.
I have a routine for a day I'm in the office and not really physically active. Or a day when I'm in the gym once or in the gym twice. Then I've got a road course routine and an oval routine because they're different physically.
Because I travel so much, I bring my workout clothes and shoes wherever I go. That way I can always do some exercise.
I don't ever take an extended period off between minicamp and the start of training camp.
I've gone on workout regimes, but I seem to have a system that is very resistant to changing.
Try to find a good gym, have a schedule or take a class every day, and make it a habit.
I wake up at 5am, by 6am I'm on the way to training. I come back and relax, have lunch, take a little nap, then train again at 4pm for an evening run. Then relax, dinner and bed at 9pm until the next day.
I follow a routine on a daily basis, which comprises dance class, gymnastics, and going to the gym. I also spend about half an hour on yoga, too.
I'm very disciplined in the approach I take for my training.
Each person's workout is really different. It's tailored to be what's most needed for them. Everybody's different.
I believe a training plan that involves MMA techniques is a sure way to being fit.
As far as working out, I know exactly what I'm doing.
I'd like to someday possibly come out with a workout video or even a manual just to teach people the things I know.
I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.
On Monday I come in and get in a full body workout, and then I come back in on Wednesday and do a quick six, which consists of bench press, biceps and triceps curls, pull downs, something for the back and the neck. And then you come back and hit it again on Friday with a 16-machine workout.
When I have a shoot or a big job coming up, I try my best to work out four or five times a week.
Definitely stick with a program for more than a week or too. You've got to ride the program out - a lot of people like to hop around on things, but to get a real good base you've got to stick to a good strength program.
