I have maintained my discipline with both food consumption (daily caloric intake) and my work-outs...

This is my work-out schedule

Mon-Wed-Fri I do strength training, I am using the "StrongLifts" routine.
A progressive strength building regimen relying on compound lifts with the barbell.

Basically, I do a lot of squats, dead-lifts, bench press, overhead press and bent over rows...

the workout ends up being three exercises, 5 sets of 5 reps.
The weight has to remain the same for all five sets, you also have the correct form on the first rep of your first set and the last rep of your last set, other wise the weight is too heavy.

 The kicker is, each week you have to raise the weight up by a moderate amount, anywhere from 2.5 to 5 lbs...

On Tues-Thurs-Sat

I row like a sweaty, old, fat bastard!!!

 I try and mix it up with the rowing workouts during the week. One session I will row for 30 minutes, one session I will try a suggested work-out from the Concept2 rowing website and on Saturday I will row 10K or time.

Rowing will challenge both your cardio and the anaerobic fitness levels. I won't say that I love doing it...

but...

I love doing it!

I want to learn more about rowing technique and strategies...my current methodology is to row as fast as I can....but I suspect that there is more to it than that... :-)

As always, I couldn't be this far along if it wasn't for the support and partnership of my wife!!!
