Get some tabata sets going man.

16kg should do you as a start. Takes fuck all time, is effective.

Thanks [MENTION=12409]Stiffy[/MENTION] yer I was thinking some sort of bodyweight circuit and maybe some sprints

Sprints are good.
Hill sprints (I found addictive)
Skipping
Burpees

As you get older be careful combining Running on flat surfaces and doing Weights if knees aren't good. That's why I do Hill Sprints etc

Yeah ive had alot of trouble whenever ive built up any kind of consistency with running.

Sand running seems ok though. Never had an issue with that.

Bear crawls, both forward and reverse. Doing em in reverse really hits your medial delts, triceps and traps. Though people will think your weird. I used to do em in the dark lol.

As mentioned Callesthenics are great, i also love Giants sets and Super Sets to really get the cardiovascular system working hard. Try keep your heart rate as high as possible throughout the workout, this will increase the intensity of each exercise and burn more fat a well.

Stairs
Hills
Sand dunes

After seeing some suggestions on here I have remembered how horrible you all are, either that or how much I dread doing conditioning!!

Conditioning is one of those things that at first is dreadful. But once you get into it, it becomes addictive due to the endorphins. Hill Sprints boost your sex drive a lot I found lol.

If the above fails to motivate you, think about this. Brad Thorn dual international, now Coach of the QLD Reds used to do shuttle run conditioning by himself in addition to the Team training at the Broncos. When asked why he said "because I hate em!". There's a lesson there for all of us.

Be careful adding it to your regime your workouts are meant to build strength the byproducts of this should be increased flexibility, bone density, metabolism and for an older trainee (which you think you are) tendons actually become stronger and thicker for which explains (old man strength).
Your recovery at your age is paramount my suggestion for you is to incorporate the aerobic component into you workout or alternatively get in the treadmill or stepper directly after a workout, hill-sprints would be better

Thanks Goosey. This sounds like a reasonable approach

Bas Rutten All Round Workout. Would have to probably bootleg it somewhere but can be the worst or best 30mins you'll do.

Thanks man I'll look it up
