You mean that Mr. Murphy doesn't take you out walking enough?

The mind is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Excuse me? Where did you get this information from? If it shrinks the heart and lungs, I guess I should be dead now (I'm 61) but I do agree that it definitely doesn't build muscle tissue due to the buildup of cortisol. But it does lower bodyfat. I know this both from my personal experience and the anecdotal experiences of others.

Why do walkers have your respect but runners don't? Incidentally I still lift wts. like you do. Why do you do deadlifts with dumbbells? I'm a big believer in doing "deads" myself. I routinely do 3 X 10 w/225 lbs. and sometimes go as heavy as 405. By the way, do you do squats? I see you do lunges but I would suggest you use lighter wts. and utilize better form. That also goes for your rows. Don't jerk the wt. but rather use a slower more controlled movement.

Do you do any separate cardio at all or do you get it from your wt. training? You need to work your legs more from what I've seen in the video. Heavy squats should do the trick and if you really want to get a good combined endurance/strength workout, try 20-rep sets of squats.

Lastly, when you do your "push presses" , drive with your legs more and lock the bar above your head. Have you thought of using a lifting belt?

I hope you take this criticisms in a positive way since we are brothers in Christ. I've done both - bodybuilding ( see my pic in an above post and here)
and have done 30+ years of competitive long distance running. You can ask "pkrause" who has seen me run in the Boston Marathon and other races in New England.At one time (when I was 59) I was the global leader in my age group on the Nikeplus web site and at 60 did the GoreTex TransRockies Run, running 110 miles in 6 days at high altitude (9,000ft. - 14,000ft.)

Stay strong, Mark. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for posting this Tallmark. For sure ... I won't do anymore long distance running.

WHO'S mind are we talking about here????

Ran a short 3 miles this morning. Later I'll do my 100 pushups, 200 situps, 200 squats and 20 pullups program. It's good to try to mix cardio/aerobic work (besides, the most important muscle we have is our heart) and anaerobic (without oxygen) work to strengthen our core muscle groups.

As someone famous once said, "Temperance in all things"

Hoping all of you reading this will try to do a little something to keep your bodies worthy to be temples of the Holy Spirit. Let Jesus be your workout partner. Listen to some inspirational music on your mp3 players. Pray while you run. Write sermons in your head. But sometimes you'll have to focus really hard as you push through that hard interval workout, running 400 meter repeats on the track or concentrating while doing heavy squats and deadlifts with 300+ lbs.

Have a joyful day folks.

Alex
