I'm definitely no fitness expert, but this is what I do. I don't have a strict workout schedule, because I feel like that is demotivating for me. - Under desk treadmill with standing desk - I spend a lot of time at the computer, so I have a standing desk and a treadmill that goes under it. I find that if I use it for about a half hour, 3 times a day, that gets me about 8,000-9,000 steps. Then I can get to the recommended 10,000 steps by the rest of the walking I do throughout the day. - Adjustable Dumbbells and Bench - I own a pair of adjustable dumbbells that go up to 50 pounds in increments of 2.5 pounds. I use them to do strength training 1 to 3 times a week. This year, I had ChatGPT generate my upper body workout routine for me, and so far it's going really well. My goal is to do 100 strength training workouts this year. - Ab routine, yoga and Maxiclimber - About once or twice a week, I try to do an ab routine, "Ab Ripper X" from the original P90X at 1.25 speed to get it over with faster. Yoga (from YogaDownload.com) to help with recovery from the strength training. Also, I picked up a Maxiclimber XL on the local classifieds for about $40. - Other recreational fitness activities - I also try to make sure I participate in alternative fitness activities that are recreational and not just part of the workout grind. These include, biking, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, basketball, pickleball, hiking, frisbee, etc. This was not my routine before I started working from home. Working from home has enabled this and I'm now probably in the best physical health I've ever been. |
