During the week, every two day's I'm gradient running, as i found this a lot more beneficial than traditional running, however i do occasionally gander off on a run for a change of scenery Everyone's got a pair of trainers, get out there and start running, apart from being ultra-rewarding, it's surprisingly enjoyable I started off on about 3miles *1.5 of that on a steep-ish gradient*. I was really gentle increasing my run length, don't push things too hard to start with.
When comfortable with a distance, and have your technique down, try and incorporate so pace changes into your run *cant ever remember the proper name*. ie. Sprint for 15 paces, then with minimal rest (being at your normal running pace) do another 15. I found this a lot easier to do on a "return", so you don't worry about conserving energy in order to complete your run. Doing these on a gradient is incredible, it doesn't take long for the positive effects to become visible.
Days when I'm not running, i incorporate excersises into my daily schedule, throughout the day i aim to do around 100ish press-ups, followed by 150ish reps on some 5K's to increase stamina *ie. when holding a gat throughout a game*. I'll also do a brief period of core-excersises, to continue the core-training i do with my team.
I've also started doing squats, only around 50 at the moment, but I'll hold a marker up, and switch hands every 5 reps, to try and mimic/encourage movement around a bunker, especially when snapping.
I don't work-out to bulk muscle, been there. not really my thang. There's loads of guys on here that are into it, and good at it too! might be worth adapting your work-out regime to both styles of excersise.
I was also a super lazy person, until not too long ago. Now i've started training a lot harder, my focus whilst working has dramatically increased *increased oxygen levels in blood-stream* and i generally feel a lot happier.
I hope i havn't babbled on too much. Enjoy your training
