New Routine - Day 1 and 2

Day 1 on my new routine is a 'Back and Biceps' routine. I find the bicep curls and isolation holds make my wrists ache, so I struggle a bit with them.

Warm-up - 3 minutes on bike + stretching

Bike - 3km @ Constant watts 170 (the faster you pedal the easier it is)

Group 1 - Repeated 3 times
Seated Row - 31.5kg, 25 reps
300m static row (that using the rowing machine but not using your legs)

Then:
2.5km on the Cross trainer (takes almost 5 minutes)
Boxing circuit

Group 2 - repeated 3 times
Bicep curls using Cable crossover machine, 6.5kg, 25 reps each arm
Isolation hold, 5kg for 1 minute (hold the weights with your arms at right angles)

Then:
Sit-up - 3 sets of 10 - 15
Sit-up pulses - 3 sets of as many a possible



Day 2 is a cardio day and this one really wears me out!

Bike - 6 minutes, 30secs @ lvl 12 then 30secs @ lvl 6
Stretching
Rower - 2km (takes a little over 9 minutes) 
Cross trainer - 9 minutes, Lvl 7, 1 min forwards, 30 secs backwards
Treadmill - 15% incline 500mts @ 5.5km/h  (about 6 minutes)
Treadmill - 10% incline 600mts @ 6.2 km/h (about 6 minutes)
Treadmill - 5% incline 700 mts @ 7.2 km/h (about 6 minutes)
Treadmill - 0% Incline 800 mts @ 9.0 km/h (about 5 minutes 30secs)

I can say that by the end of this I am completely flattened. I hope it gets easier the more I do it.
