Typical workout routine

Another thing Ms. Maddren suggested would be a good idea is posting here a typical workout day for me. I had thought about this and never got around to it, and I think it would be a good idea to show everyone what I do on a typical day. Although I'm starting to stray away from my trainers workouts, here is a typical day for me:

Warm up:
 Jacobs Ladder, 1-2 Minutes
It's deceiving, give it a try.


Essentially you climb on this like you're climbing a ladder, and it helps strengthen legs, especially for running.

Rope Trainer, 1-2 Minutes

The rest of my workouts vary day to day. The past couple days I have been doing one full hour of cardio on the elliptical, with some weight training at the end. Most of my weight training consists of:
-step ups with weights
-lunges with weights
-leg press
-lateral pulldowns
-chest press
-shoulder press
-TRX T-Raise
-Back Rows

I also try to do Plank regressions everyday, which helps me strengthen my core area, which supports my back because of my herniated disc.
These are all really great ways to get in shape and I always feel tired after these workouts, but the good kind of tired.
