The New "Sort Of Detailed" Workout Plan

Alright, so I was asked what my new workout plan consisted of and I will try my best to lay it out for you. As we all know, sometimes these things can be flexible, but we are going to try our very best to make sure we get done what we set out to do every week.

M, Tu, W, Th, F- Wake up between 6am-7am to walk at least 1 mile at a decent pace to get all of the junk out that's been kicking it my airbags as I slept. We always will take Jezzabel on this morning adventure and it usually turns into closer to 2 miles. We will usually go for a walk on Saturday and Sunday also, just the waking up at 6am part doesn't hold true.

M, Tu, W, Th, F, Sat, Su- I will do AT LEAST 3 treatments a day and hopefully 4 barring in legit excuse. My treatments consist of Albuterol/Atrovent (3-4 x a day), Pulmozyme (2 x day), 7% (1-2 x a day), Cayston (3 x a day) and the Vest for 30 minutes a session. This is an absolute vital part of my workout plan. If I mess up on this, everything else goes down hill.

M, Tu, Th, Sat, Su- This is the tentative running schedule. We're still trying to figure out when leg day will be at the gym and we don't want to run that day plus we get one rest day. So the days could change, but the goal is to run five days a week. We'll start slow but then get back into a plan similar to the first running plan I ever tried.

Monday, Thursday- Bench Press, Incline Bench Press, Dumbbell Bench Press, Dumbbell Flys, Pinwheel Curls, Standing Barbell Curls, Cable Preacher Curl

Tuesday, Friday- Deadlift, Barbell Rows, Lat Pull Down, Seated Cable Row, Seated Calf Raise, 45 Degree Calf Raise

Wednesday, Saturday- Seated Barbell Press, Seated Arnold Press, Barbell Front Raise, Dumbbell Lateral Raise, Close Grip Bench Press, Seated French Press, EZ Bar Skull Crusher, Cable Tricep Extension

Friday Only- Squat, Leg Press, Front Squat, Leg Press, Leg Curl, Romanian Dead Lift

Sunday- Long Run, No Gym

We also ride our bikes to and from the gym and usually find an excuse to ride them around again at some point during the day. It's usually to get the mail, but then sometimes we just end up cruising around.

So there it is!! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

One thing I'm curious about is, what is your employment plan during the day? Your lung functions don't exactly put you in SSI disability since you're twice off better than me.

Are you sending Mandi to do all the work while you go to the gym and write blog posts? ;-) Sneaky man, if you are. You'd better be a good cook, ROFL.

Alright, enough about that, go get your butt to the weight bench.

My workday generally starts between 7 and 8 and I usually find myself working late at night as well (and most weekends). Both Mandi and I work from home and don't have much of a social life, so although it's tough, we just make sure our priorities are with taking care of ourselves over watching tv or hanging with friends.
Ditto here. I disconnect when she leaves work and then I get back on the computer when she goes to bed.
Oh! I always thought you were on disability... what do you do for work?

I've always been an entrepreneur, from a clothing line to a coffee shop and currently, I work for a non profit foundation.
Cystic Life?
Do you make any money doing it? I'm not trying to be a jerk... I honestly started asking b/c I did think you were collecting disability and when you said you weren't, I wanted to know what you are doing that allows such a flexible and at home schedule. I'm currently working full time out of the house and need to look into alternatives b/c I've recently begun having trouble juggling it all.
Actually, no I don't. I run CysticLife on a volunteer basis. I've been an entrepreneur and investor most of my adult life and that is how I've managed to pay the bills.
Have you tried kangoo jump? its a very good cardio workout. I am sure you will cough up a storm with it. I am looking into doing it in my area. Plus it looks like a lot of fun. I used to do Yoga, which is really good for the lungs too.

I haven't tried it but I sure like the sound of it!!! I may need to "jump" on that :)
Wow oh wow. That is a very impressive workout, Ronnie! The boyfriend and I are already making plans to hit the gym at school (the only gym we have access to) once it opens again in August. I'll take your workout list as a great starting place and reform it to fit his/my needs. Keep up the great work! Run run runnn!!

P.S. I'm still running now. Just not the other workout stuff.
