I am interested in finding other athletes who lift free weight, use cable machines, weighted machines, etc. and can share the lifting routines, exercise tips, etc. with other diabetic athletes, new, old and young.
I train different body parts each day of the week but in a systematic manner. For example I perform 1. Chest/Back/Calves , 2 Biceps/Triceps/Midsection, 3 Rotors/Shoulders/Trapezius, 4 Legs/Forearms, 1-2 days cardio then repeat the next week.
I usually try and schedule my cardio workouts, skip rope, exercycle, treadmill, cardio glyde, stair climber, x-cross country skiing, in-line skating, jog/walk/run, etc. 10-12 hrs. opposite my weight lifting routines. This usually helps reduce the lactic acid buildup between and after workouts.
I have to use a lot of supplements to get trhough each workout successfully or else it's crash and burn time, LOL. No glucose, no muscle glycogen, no can continue, ooops. I use a lot of caffeine based on mg/kg. of body weight to help me recover cognitively if I have a low blood glucose and to help with my respiratory sucking wind, needs.
If there are others out there who have valuable input, please free to give hints, tips, and techniques that have proven results. I'll try and post a list of resources I am using, FYI if this is ok.
I try to maintain my physical body based on scripture. The lesson and advice is not new. I also combine my biblical studies with my workouts using mp3 players so I can share the meat and potatoes of scripture.
