I run incline and flat intervals at about 8mph to get the heart rate up. Then I do the arc trainer for about 35 minutes, finishing up with spinning at about 85-90 rpm.
I'm also starting to incorporate a lot more weight training into my program, and I'm taking the body pump class at goodlife almost religiously.
As for diet, I almost can't get enough calories... so I have to make sure I'm at least getting all my needed nutrients/vitamins on a daily basis. I'm also trying to eat a bit more red meat for that added iron intake.
On other days, the bf and I are at the climbing gym, and we're there for a few hours each time.

Good luck to all of you on your health resolutions for the year!!

sweet.. which adventure race you looking to do?

I did a Raid The North race up in Elliot Lake a few years back... tonnes of fun, if exhausting (for a fat guy like me). -- we came in a spot before a team consisting of canadian armed forces.. they passed us about 6 times and kept getting lost. So remember, orienteering skills > outright physical fitness.
