Continueing My Exercise Journey!!!

I tried some of the things I talked about before and a few new ones that worked well for me. Let me say again you should consult a doctor before starting a new exercise program. I would also like to say I am developing my own program that I hope will not only help me, but others. I am studying personal training concepts put fourth by NASM, but have not completed it yet. (http://www.nasm.com/). The program I am sharing with you is my own design! I have done numerous programs over the years and the best ones for me were Body For Life http://bodyforlife.com and the power half hour, p90, and p90x which can all be found at http://www.beachbody.com,and the www.gaiam.com yoga series I still use BUT none were quite perfect. Especially for riding, I need something that is even better so I am going to make it. All of the ones I have mentioned are good. But I must say there nutrional porgams were good and bad. The good are the portions and regularity and all natural organic menu. The bad for me was the nutritional supplements and bars,  they gave me all kinds of problems with digestion, sleep, and emotions. Remember I said me. I can only speak for myself, but remember this does not mean they won't work for someone else! We are all different.
Onto what I learned today. I want to take as few a breaks as possible, but as many as necessary, because I want to be as cardio fit as possible, and have my workouts take as little of my time as they can while getting the best results.  Its very important to be able to be able to keep going as long as you need with ease.With all that in mind I came up with three things that can be used in an unlimited number of ways. One use one arm or leg at a time and go form a set on the left than the right doing the same exercise and back again without any breaks. Number Two do three or four exercises for the same muscle group-one set doing max reps each-with no breaks. Number Three go back and fourth between two complimentary muscle groups with no breaks-a set of curls for your biceps and Triceps extensions for your triceps . Important Note I am always using fairly light weights doing high reps of every exercise never less then 11, while focus on good form. I want my program to work while keeping it as pain free as possible.
  My workout went FANTASTIC! I hope sharing this journey of mine searching for the best program I can creat helps you in some small way.
