New Schedules & Workouts

I’ve bought a road bike recently and I’ve gotten back into biking across Singapore on Saturdays. It’s far easier on knees and my lungs feel it the next day.

So in light of this new conveyance, I’ve rescheduled my exercise routines around it. I’m not sure how it’ll work out for me, but I’m sure that I’ll be a whole lot fitter (at least my thighs will be).

PS: I know there’s no week 13.5. I was trying out different combinations and didn’t jot them down for the week.

My Schedule

  1. Monday: Back + 5kg run
  2. Tuesday: Front + 2.5km run
  3. Wednesday: Get de-warted and rest; I’m in too much pain to do anything
  4. Thursday: Legs (Deadlifts + Squats)
  5. Friday: Upper body (Presses + Pulls) + 5kg run
  6. Saturday: Cycling trip (68km)
  7. Sunday: Rest
