    Wed - boxing class for 1 hour and then swimming for about 1/2 to 1 hour
    Thurs - circuits for 1.5 hours
    Friday - studio cycling (killler on the legs!)
    Saturday - nothing normally, possibly a run round the block if ur lucky!

    If you're looking to build muscle then you wouldn't want to be working the same areas everyday, your body needs time to recover. Alternatively work lower body one day, upper the next.

    Mists schedule looks about right.

    Obviously the next week it gets switched around to two sets of chest/back and one of arms/shoulders.

    Seems to be working ok so far, might have to mix the exercises up a bit soon.

    People always seem to be using the erg completely incorrectly when I see them. It's ridiculous, some of the technique I see.
    Incidentally I was at my home gym and some bloke had a go at me because he said I was going to damage my back using body-swing on an erg - erm, I think not!

    I'm a racing kayaker but the lack of canoe club at uni has forced me into the gym.
    Whenever I go I do the following, which is pretty similar to the weight training we do at the canoe club:

    4x 40 reps vertical boxing with 1.5kg in each hand
    5 minutes hard 'sprinting' on a cross trainer with a medium resistance setting
    4 x 20 reps at 90lbs on the leg press
    4 x 12 reps at 30lbs on the overhead arm press
    4 x 12 reps at 30lbs on the leg lifty thing
    4 x 12 reps at 50lbs hip adduction
    4 x 12 reps at 50lbs hib abduction
    4 x 12 reps at 30lbs overhead arm lift
    4 x 40 reps vertical boxing with 1.5kg in each hand

    I'm supposed to do more on the cross trainer, eg 10 mins on, 2 mins off in intervals but I'm lazy and it's boring, so I mainly do the resistance training.
