Hello All,
Im going to make it plain and simple. I need to get in shape for the police academy.I worked out religously for about 2 or 3 months then went away then stopped for about 2 weeks.I am a big guy, 5,10 215. My biggest concern is running. When i went to the gym the other day, i was jogging for my usual mile, and it felt like my heart was about to burst out my chest. I was running on the gyms treadmill and my heart rate was 178. Which is really unusual for me. So what do you guys suggest I do for conditioning myself for the academy. Weight lifting wise i start with 50 push ups. Then a shoulder press machine. On to bench press, Bicep Curls, back squat and leg press. Any suggestions?
Thanks Guys!
