I walk 30 minutes on the treadmill every morning

(5 MPH, 2.5 miles, at level grade). Upper body

Bowflex routine 2-3x/week. Used to do lots of yoga

in college, but sadly, it's dropped from my schedule.

Bill,

First the caveat that I am one of those silly endurance athletes,

then the routine:

WEEKLY RUNNING

2-3x 40-60 minutes plus speedwork

1x 75 minutes

1x 100 minutes

WEIGHTS

2-3x 15min full-body quick routine to failure (want to increase this

to 30 minutes per session)

OTHER

not enough yoga

I'd like to increase the amount of yoga to make it regular, but have

not been successful, yet. But the running won't change, not in the

near future, because my identity is more rooted in ATHLETE than it is

in CRONie - for the time being.

All

I do ashtanga yoga 6 days a week, an hour and a half early in the morning.

It's one of the energetic, acrobatic types of yoga. Then I walk to and from

work, including going home to lunch. Depending on whether I take the bus

or walk, the average daily walk is around 2.5 miles. I aim to keep my

caloric intake at 1800 to 1900. On good days that is about 20% caloric

restriction.

Cheers

Arturo
