I do a little bit of treadmill before or between sets, but often get tendon ache in my ankles.
Will be moving to the beach in either March 2018 or 2019 and planning to take the kid to school and go straight to the beach for a morning swim every morning, then do the normal gym work after lunch as normal.
IMO dont need to do abs that much. Abs are all about diet and body fat.
They require rest periods just like every other muscle too.
Once, maybe twice a week if youre feeling frisky. But if they are still sore then no need to work them out. They are still healing/recovering. You have to break the fibers down (sore) for them to "grow" back stronger & bigger. If they are sore, that means they are still healing. Id say if you can workout abs 4+ times a week then you aren't working them out hard enough when you do them. Im usually sore for quite a few days when I workout a muscle group.
I dont really do abs anymore TBH, maybe once a week if I have some extra time. They get worked out pretty well from being secondary, stabilizing muscle groups used in other lifts throughout the week. Squats, deadlifts, etc...

The op said he swims. I do too. I don't need to do to much working out, but not a old farang. Theres some old codgers teaching English with me at the school and their close to death they are so out of shape.

Full English breakfast almost every day followed by routine home maintenance and improvements until lunchtime. Into town for a few supplies and a lazy lunch followed by a bit of work on the internet just to pay the bills.Then ,tinkering with the car and the motorcycle . Towards 4.30 we are both out working in the gardens. In the evening, a full litre of wine between both of us.
This is followed by chill out time watching cowboy films until midnight and occasionally a bit of procreation if we are not too tired.
Both pretty fit and I can recommend this regime to anyone who wants perfect contentment without a 6 pack and rippling biceps.
Fish oil
NAC
Zinc
Vits D
Vit A every other day
B-complex
Magnesium

No cardio at all at the moment.
Diet & meals: about 130 grams of protein per day.
Vegetables every day and a salad
Kimchee and at least 2 boiled eggs everday
an apple every other day w/ cinnamon
I'm avoiding fried foods, oils, and flour.
Complex carbs (Basmati rice) for post workout (sometimes Pre) on lifting days.
Supplements:
None, for lifting and/or exercising.
I just stopped taking Creatine, Beta Alanine and Citrulline Malate (latter only as a pre-workout).
I gained 10 kilos of almost all muscle due to muscle memory in 8 weeks.
Now I'm for the most part maxed out and will continue lifting and stay lean and be healthy as a whole.

little less thn 1/3 cup of Quinoa and 1/4 cup of Basmati rice

little salad, tomatoes, onions
I go to the gym 4 x's a week. Currently doing intervals on the treadmill for 30 mins. Vary between slow jogging and walking fast. I also do a weight/toning hour class for all muscle groups to music twice a week. It is a good way to do weights without doing it on your own. You follow the instructor and there are barely any breaks. We do planks/situps/side planks, and dumbell moves for every body part using the medicine ball and stepper to lie on.
I eat very well, lost 20 pounds since Jan. I eat only protein and veggies. No other carbs/sugars (not even fruit). I just drink water and also take high quality vitamins. No dairy either.
