Nice thread.
I have done some fencing, swimming and martial arts long time ago. Now I try to do maintenance work. I like the philosophy in Crossfit. They encourage one to take a look at how we are with respect to different physical skills, and hope we deliberately plan to work on those areas we are not so good.
A well rounded level of adequate ability in each of the areas in theory should contribute to our health, and to be ok in general physical preparedness.
So although not perfect, I am trying to develop a bi weekly plan to work on different aspects.
Is not easy, because one has to program in a balanced way so there is no injuries.
So on a normal day, I may do 6 minutes of elliptical to warm up, then do 5 minutes of rowing (uses over 85% of muscles), then I would move to metabolic training for example 3 rounds of clean with push press, hanging knee to elbows for 20 seconds, burpees, and box jumps.
Then I can finish with a couple of rounds kickboxing the punch bag, and maybe walking on incline with a back pack (not too heavy).
In theory as one gets older, the first attribute lost is power, so I try to do a lot of the work with power and in less than 25 seconds to have it be alactic.
I noticed that crossfit high level practitioners are not that flexible as compared to martial artists, and is something that must be worked on.
I am trying to share ideas with other persons trying to develop a plan too.
To avoid overuse injuries, someone has suggested to do multi machine cardio workout as follows (one example):
5 min of elliptical
5 min of running (can be treadmill)
5 min of spinning (static bike)
5 min of slide board (like the reebok one)
5 min of backpack incline walk in treadmill (3.5 mph max)
5 min of rowing.
The order may vary, Supposedly the 30 min done in this way prevent damage to joints etc. from overuse (long continuous use). And provides synergy in the strength and endurance capacities because so many different muscles are used.
Anyone trying to share their workout routine with us is welcome. Also questions, just be aware that I am not an expert.
Kind regards.
