I do a combo. CV which usually consists of 10min on the treadmill, 20 min on the cross trainer, then 10min on the rower. Then I do all me weights. Then to cool down I swim for 20.

Usually spend about 2 hours there, maybe this is my problem.

Thing is I use the cardio as the warm up. The run on the mill and all that gets me heart working and the blood going round so I'm ready to do me weights.

Or is that just shit
