My personal trainer revamped my upper body strength training program - I warm up with two sets of 12 push ups, caterpillars, stretching and air punches with light weights -- then work chest, back and biceps with varying weights. It feels great to be doing total body work outs now!

On Monday, I started doing the following workout. I did it again today (Wednesday) and will do it on Friday too. That will be the plan going forward: Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Set 1 (No breaks between exercises)
12 Push-ups, 20 Sit-ups, 10 Squats, 12 Push-ups, 20 Sit-ups, 10 Squats
90 second break

Set 2 (No breaks between exercises)
12 Push-ups, 20 Sit-ups, 10 Squats, 12 Push-ups, 20 Sit-ups, 10 Squats
90 second break

Set 3 (No breaks between exercises)
12 Push-ups, 20 Sit-ups, 10 Squats, 12 Push-ups, 20 Sit-ups, 10 Squats

I'll increase the reps on a regular basis. Also, I may do 4 sets on Fridays with the goal of getting up to 4-5 sets each day (M, W, F).

Yes! Monday and Friday I do a full body workout -- different everytime. Today it was crunches, side bends, knee rolls, pushups, step ups, pulls ups, leg lifts, single leg press, interspersed with cardio intervals. We often do jump rope, walking lunges, tricep dips, kick boxing, lots of plyometrics. A lot of my friends claim that working out in the gym does not help their running, but I swear by it.
