Default What is your favorite workout?

For me, it depends on the workout.

For cycling, a great, hard workout is the ride from Parowan to Brianhead ski resort, and there is also a ride from Redlands to Lake Arrowhead which is brutal.

Any century with climbing is also a great workout.

In martial arts, any sparring workout is great fun.

My worst and most hated workout, speed work in running. It is brutal, but you get a workout. Try this workout. Warm up with six laps of a four hundred meter track. Next run 1600 at 10 K pace. Next run 1200 at 10 K pace less two to three seconds per quarter, continue the digression down to the 400s, with one lap of jogging in between and then reverse the pyramid back. Warm down with four laps. You will notice a workout.

Best weight workout is bench coupled with dead lift.

Worst are squat days.

My lifting days are over if I want to preserve my joints.

We love to hear about your workouts.

What's the longest workout you've ever had? For about seven hours, a 140 mile bike ride. Legs were tired.
