Current Resistance Program Jun 09 - Present
This is my current resistance training program. It would seem very well structured, however it is exeptable to frequent and regular change. Mixing it up often helps jolt my body, thus stopping muscle complacency and allowing continuation of positive gains.
I always warm up with 10 minutes of aerobic cardio, I always implement a 'warm up' set of every exercise and stretch when finished.
Please note: Everyone has different goals and levels of fitness,
so please let me remind you, this program was developed by me, for me and it may not be beneficial to everyone.

Current Cardio Program Jun 09 - Present
My current cardio workouts are not as intense as previous when I was out to lose my initial body fat. I probably do about three to four sessions a week mostly consisting of pool training. I am learning to swim again basically.
Gym cardio includes aerobic and HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). My main weapon of choice is the cross trainer when doing aerobic, but I do tend to lean towards the bike and treadmill when doing HIIT.
Some examples would be as follows:
