There's a really cool fitness trend that's been getting really popular lately called
Crossfit. If you think about goals and what type of body you'd like, most people would settle on something like some of the Crossfit gurus (see Libby and Tom here). They post a workout of the day (WOD) everyday on their site. The focus of the training is a nice mix of weights and cardio. For example they'll have you do three rounds (!) of 50 pushups followed by 15 benchpresses then 20
burpees. I don't know about you but that kicks my butt. They have a lot of neat stuff that you should think about and a lot of exercises that you'll have to look up--you won't get bored with this. The only problem that I have with Crossfit is that the equipment needed for a lot of the exercises are a bit prohibitive, for example the use of 3 barbells of different weights at the same time--at the gym I go to people would get pretty upset if I took up 3 bars at the same time. Other things like the use of kettlebells and olympic rings which most gyms don't have. Suffice it to say these guys have a lot great ideas, but you might have to get creative. I hope to do some of this next week. I'll let you know how it goes.
