I go a to a local gym thats close to my office. I try to get in there 4 to 5 days a week. The gym I go to provides multiple classes throughout the day. I typically attend the noon class, but if that doesn't work out I go to the 5 PM class.

The workouts take an hour. There are typically three components to the workout (not including the warm up).

0. Warm up

  • We have a rotating warm up routine and then a section specific muscle stretching focused on muscles groups we used the previous day.

1. Movement

  • This is usually a combination of extended stretching or resistance work in order to active the muscles and joints that will be used later in the workout.

2. Strength

  • This section will be any of the following; Dead Lifts, Strict Press, Push Press, Back Squats, Front Squats

3. Cardio / Conditioning

  • This third section is usually a High Intensity workout that involves combinations of body weight, actual weights (kettle bells, dumb bells, straight bar, etc), jump ropes, bikes, runner or more.

Here is Today's Workout.

Today's Workout

My goals has been to lose weight, gain expanded movement of my body (bad knees), reduce chronic pain from hours of keyboard jockeying and to gain overall strength. I really like the gym I attend because they treat every member like they do their professional athletes they train and treat. Very personal and filled with encouragement.

Thanks for sharing! I liked how detailed it is - moreover the WOD is nice!! 👍 I (and hopefully others) can learn something from it.
