does Anyone have any workout suggestions? Edit: at home
I hate working out @ home but you could never go wrong with push-ups / pull-ups/ sit-ups/ dips & jumprope
10,000 pushups in 30 days
Ill try my best with pushups lmfao with my noodle ass arms
What are your goals or what specifically are you looking to get out of your workouts? Any limitations? What equipment do you have available to use? And how experienced are you?
Below is a workout session my coworkers I typically do. I changed a few of the exercises in the event that you did not have access to dumbbells/kettlebells.
Immediately transition to circuit below
(90 secs each no rest in between) 1. Push-ups 2. Sit-ups 3. Rear Lunges 4. Jumping Jacks 5. Plank 6. Forward lunges 7. Squat
1 min rest
Repeat all 7 exercises, 60 secs each this time.
Then go for a 1 mile run.
One of my favorite workouts.
Squats, pushups, situps. Do 10 of each. No rest. Try doing as many sets as you can.
@Jascuddleboo32 i can dig it. Builds endurance.
Depends on how I feel but i have two different ones. One is calisthenics ( which is in the photo) and the other is a medium yoga. Afterwards I do a walk or a jog.
Good thread, some great suggestions. Personally I find it's very dependent on your body type (Ectomorph, Endomorph, Mesomorph), how much experience you have, what equipment you have available to you if any and your diet. What works for a Mesomorph usually won't work the same for an Ectomorph and vice versa. Determine your body type and start from there.
@AveryK84 @Jascuddleboo32 Circuit training is the bomb! @Sheena123 How many reps and set do you do of each? Is it circuit based or do you rest in between, and if so for how long?
what would be a good workout for someone who a little big flexible and never done much excursizing before?
@LovenLight thanks, and you’re absolutely right. It all depends.
@aurora_cuddler for a beginner, I’d say the mind and research is the best way to start. I started out just reading articles on bodybuilding.com and menshealth.com. Womenshealth.com has a wealth of knowledge and advice too.
Off the top of my head, I’d say focus on walks. Set realistic goals for yourself. 10,000 steps a day, which you can calculate using your smartphone. I used an app called map my run.
Diet is major when it comes to achieving typical goals with working out. Ensuring your eating the recommended serving sizes and watching the amount calories you take in.
Planks to develop core strength. Push-ups from your knees to develop upper body strength. Squats to develop strength in your legs. Lunges to develop strength and balance.
Then you can continue to build on your workouts from there.
Plank for 30 secs. When you can do that for 30 secs with no break. Change to 60 secs. And keep adding 30 secs as you get better.
Do the same time frames for push-ups, squats and lunges. You can add crunches as well.
Just my random thoughts.
Get an Oculus Quest 2. It's super fun and they have great exercise games. Pretty affordable.
It's how I have stayed active during pandemic times.
@LovenLight I do 10 second boxer jogs in between each move. Each move on the list I do for 20 seconds. The idea is to keep moving at all times.
Put on a mask and wash your hands. Walk up and down your street. Ring every doorbell, and stop every person you meet. Stand well back and say,
I know this sounds a bit weird, but do you happen to know anybody who is old or infirm or anything, and needs help with heavy lifting or digging the garden or carrying things upstairs or anything like that? I live here (wave vaguely at your house) and I'm not keen on lots of travelling, but I need to do some more exercise and if I can help somebody local at the same time ......
I think @AveryK84 hit the nail on the head. Walking is vastly underrated, and ticks loads of boxes compared with other low (or even high) intensity training. As well as the benefits of burning calories, you'll also be outdoors, getting some vitamin D, and maybe even having a little social contact as you say hi to other walkers from a safe distance. If you get bored of walking, cycling is arguably even better, and also low impact.
Other than that, find something that's sustainable for you. In other words, it needs to be fun or interesting enough for you to want to do at least 3 times week. There are loads of great suggestions here to get you started.
If you find yourself enjoying bodyweight exercises like push ups, pull ups and squats, there are some great calisthenics channels on YouTube. Fitness FAQs and Calisthenic Movement are my faves. Best of luck!
