Use the machines. Like the leg press and hamstring curl

That might put too much pressure on my foot, but I could do the rest of the machines I guess.

Anybody recommend any good running trainers? Need to have good support. Doing the Birmingham half marathon in October, despite possibly being the worst distance runner in history.

I've always used Asics various Gel models, but I'm open to other recommendations.

 

[Raz]

Go classic, that's never wrong.

 

[JuveJay]

I just finished watching Spartacus on Netflix, and they never seemed to have any trouble running around.

Thanks.

 

[Raz]

Anytime, I'm here to help.

I use those and Saucony. I like their fits. Either way, can't go wrong.

Honestly I always use Nike Free or New Balance Minimus. Love them both. I imagine neither is what you are looking for, though the Nike Frees give more support than you'd expect.

 

[JuveJay]

Yeah I need support because my ankles kick in a little, especially my spazzy left leg. Cheers for the suggestions. I can give them a spin in the store anyway.

I thought I'd post a basic fat loss program template I wrote for myself ages ago. I also put clients through variations of it every now and then and it works a treat. Doing it 1-2 times a week in conjunction with 1-2 strength sessions (I have a great whole body strength program as well) is a necessary change to the chest day, leg day, back day, cardio day routine. Whole body workouts are convenient if you can't go to the gym 5-6 times a week.

**Pump out as many controlled reps as you can in 45 secs

Squats (45 sec) -> Barbell curls (45 sec) -> chest press (45 sec) x 3 trisets (1 minute rest in between sets)

rest 1 minute

neutral grip pull ups -> tricep extensions -> Farmers walks

rest 1 minute

Walking lunges -> squat thrusts/mt climbers -> db push press

rest 1 minute

kettlebell swings -> renegade rows -> barbell rows


Alternate day -

Hex bar dead lifts -> Hammer curls -> Incline chest press

rest 1 minute

Wide grip pull ups (lat pull down for beginners) -> Plank with feet elevated -> dumbell skull crushers on the bench

rest 1 minute

Jump squats -> burpee ball slams -> dips

rest 1 minute

Close grip cable rows -> renegade rows -> Skipping

Really tough program that will make you chunder for sure. Hopefully someone finds it useful.

 

[Ford Prefect]

That sounds overly complicated.
