Just finished 3 month of circuits, 1 day rest a week, now split my routine between 2 days, and rotating them, still one day a week full rest. Will be going back to circuits in a few month time.
Never. I used to work out, and then I quit. And I don't feel any different, although I look a bit different since I'm not muscular like I used to be. Maybe it's just the pandemic and not leaving my property like I used to.
I do weight-bearing exercises like plank and pushups four times a week, and use my Fitness Boxing game for Nintendo Switch almost daily.
I have found solace through jogging... Doesn't it sound bizarre? I wouldn't have picked myself for a 'jogger' in a million years. But after gyms closed down, I started doing exercise differently... (Even a little before they closed down; I left pre-emptively...) I was doing 1,200 or so jumping jacks in my backyard for awhile, but eventually I ended up doing some jogging at the park down the street - it has a track! It was a pain in the ass at first. I had to figure out how fast to do it, and wasn't initially very comfortable with my pace at all... So, I went really slow for a long time. Another issue with this is my meds (pretty sure it's because of my meds/went to doctor's twice or something, but they say it might be vertigo... ). Believe it or not, I get motion sick if I jog for too long! OMG... It's sooo annoying. Literally vomiting-sick from jogging if I go for, say 2 miles instead of 1. (1 mile is 1.6 KM) I was trying to jog 2 miles twice daily, but I was getting sick sometimes. I couldn't figure it out, and stopped jogging for a bit. Then I made decision. I would jog 1 mile (the track is 3 laps to a mile; which for some reason makes it easier psychologically) instead of two, twice a day and just be satisfied with the end-result. Then, I began working and dropped down to 1 mile once daily. That's not enoguh... Recently, I resolved to jog after work as well as before. That's twice. And it feels good! That's what I've been doing for the last week. On weekends, sometimes I go to the park and jog 4 times per day! 4 miles is pretty good, and I even lose a little weight.
Ive just increased it to 7 now . Got more of an appetite now and a target before the pubs reopen from lockdown
I don't think your muscles would like a seven day training, especially if it's cardio. I always give myself a day off and it's almost always Monday. Don't know why I hate Mondays. I also enjoy healthy lifestyle but I have a cheat day for that, too. They say it is supposed to be a habit, but come on. Pizza and beer, or pasta and wine, strawberries and chocolate... got to go, I am hungry now
I don't really work out. I have injuries that prevent running and working with weights. I take long fast walks every day, do 50 pushups and abdominal exercises three times a week. That seems to keep me in shape for an old man.
Last post was on 4-3-21. Did everyone stop working out? I've worked out for 50 years - running, cycling, kayaking, lifting. Now in my 80s my knees gave out long ago, cycling likely poses balance problems. Can still kayak in warm weather but lifting remains a constant: three very intense sessions of about an hour consisting of 24 to 30 sets. No standing around, from one muscle group to another. This provides cardio maintenance. I'm the only guy breathing hard.
You have an awesome workout schedule. I lack the motivation from day to day. Actually, it more like I get distracted. Good job
