Back in the Saddle

I'm back. Heart rate is just about where it should be, lower back is still a little twingey, but I can manage.

So I upped my workout. New routine:

1) 1 hour of cardio on various machines
2) Grappling circuit
3) Stretch
4) Free weight training: split routine. Monday chest, Tuesday back, Wednesday core, Thursday shoulders & arms, Friday legs. I use machines for leg day because of my knee.
5) Sauna

I know you bodybuilders out there are saying "You can't mix heavy weight training with all that cardio and endurance training!" Yeah, I'm aware. But I'm not trying to bulk: I'm big enough.

I'm thinking about adding some yoga and tai-chi; my gym has free classes. With that, I could be moving about 4 or 5 hours every day.
