Carlos
Many athletes train similarily. I do this type routine and even more 
intense abot two times a week. On the other days I do 2 x a week 
teacking martial arts, I ride the bike 10 mins fast 2 min sprint for 
between 70 and 100 minutes, 2 x week or more, I rollerblade 2 xweek or 
more same way except for 60 minutes. I also try and get in a little 
swimming with my dogs, and I lift weights 2 to 4 x a week.When I'm 
diving everyday I usually skip the intense workouts and do a 20 min 
routine on the healthrider, or stairmaster or whatever is available, 
including swimming and freediving when on trips everyother day. I think 
it is unsafe to do hard dives combined with intense workouts thus do 
not combine the two on the same days. 

I have been traing like this for many years I first started working out 
around 1950 and I have only layed off completely during injuries (from 
sports, airplane crask, boat racing etc) and the year of 1981 . 

Carlos NO heart Attacks my pulse used to be around 40 as I have gotten 
older it has increased to 50 to 54. 

I do not recommend everyone train the way I do, but the survival 
routines I think are excellent if you are going to do activities that 
may place you in life threatening situtations such as can happen is 
some forms of technical diving.
Safer diving to you
