Strength Training

It's been two months now since I devised and started my last gym/cardio program - Tabata Time - and I think it's time for a change.

I've not really followed my previous program too closely, but rather used it as a guide. I found I was often too busy or couldn't be bothered to go to the gym twice a week, and I've been adding a lot more running into the mix instead of being a slave to the cardio equipment in the gym. I have however stuck to the weights part quite well, except for dropping the lunges every now and then as they were having too much of an impact on my running on the first few days that followed.

This new program is once again, deemed as a guide for myself, but this time with a concentration on strength.
