Is my current running/strength combo correct?

Question
Hello Rick,

I am a 19 year old male, about 160 lbs, and a 5' 11" frame. I am in decent shape, mostly from football and volleyball in high school. I am at college now and play some recreational basketball, football, volleyball, tennis, etc. I have recently started running, about 2 months ago. Currently, I run about an hour, at about a 9:00 a mile every other day. The days that I am not running, I usually go to the gym, where I work out biceps/chest and triceps/shoulder/back; alternating the group with the gym day. also, i try to do a timed ab/olque work out; basically, i repeat 4 exercises for abs or obliques 2 times, each exercise being about 30 seconds long. there are no breaks in between so it is like a constant, non-stop work out. for example, a typical week could be: monday - run + obliques, tuesday - biceps/chest + abs, wednesday - run + obliques, thursday - triceps/back/shoulders + abs, friday- run + obliques,... etc.

My general goals are to get some what of a six pack [ I know that not everyone is genetically fit for this, but I hope that I am not one of such people :) ], get some body definition and get endurance for other sports.

My question to you, is if this is a decent workout plan, or is it a failure. I am seeing some results, but I do not know if this is a correct approach. please send any comments, critiques and improvements.


thank you,
Andri

Answer
Andri,
I really can't tell you if its worthwhile with just a small snapshot of the program.  I have no weights, sets or reps to go by, just body parts being worked. That being said, I really can't say much about it, other than it looks like you're getting mostly everything covered except your lower body.  The lower body is just as important as the upper body.

The 'six pack' goal is more about fat loss than anything else.  There is no magical number of crunches or gadgets or supplements to take.  Just good old diet & exercise strategies to follow.  Watch the fat intake, but don't restrict all of it (some fats are neccessary for body functions to occur at the cellular level, as they make up membranes and are needed for many other things to happen).  A good resource to use for diet is www.fitday.com.  

That's about all I can say for now.  Keep me posted if you have any other questions, and feel free to check out my website, http://speeddialcoach.com for more information.
