          On the 3 days I'm not running, I do 2 calisthenics and 1 lift. Rotating among:

           

          Lifts

          Bench

          Squat

          Deadlift

           

          Calis

          Situps

          Pushups

          Chinups

          RSX


            3 days a week I do 90 minutes of machines that get my core more than once. I do 3 sets of15 each 20 -30 seconds max in between. If there is a machine such as a torso turn I switch sides immediately. No set is too heavy as I don't need bigger arms, and I want to tone my legs.I run 6 days a week, and also do 1 day of elliptical. I was never this aggressive before at the gym and it is helping a lot.

              If I go to the gym I usually do 30 mins easy running to get warmed up, then usually I do squats, overhead presses, chinups, dips, calf raises and then a couple of other things depending on what I feel like. At home I do press ups, crunches and planks every couple of days.
