I do execute the same exercise throughout my journey here because I have read an article saying that when you do a certain things you want to make a habit, do it for 21-days. Because of that, I was determined that I will do it and reach my goal. Doing the same exercise everyday made me realize that I have to be at ease in doing an exercise, that I should not be lazy and hopeless in achieving my goals. If I do the same thing over and over again, it may become a habit of me to do it everyday, making me a better person for my health.
Not really, I usually run in the mornings as I don’t feel too strong and I like to get some light on my face, I often wake up with morning anxiety so its a good way to quash this; the natural breathing obtained from a run seems to really help. I also like to do strength training as this really wakes me up, however its sometimes difficult first thing!
No I don’t, I change it up a bit so that I don’t get unmotivated along the way. I have a tendency to not follow through something when it’s routinely so I always change up the order of my routines. On Monday’s and Friday’s I’d do a full body workout of 20-30min. Usually I’ll workout both mornings and afternoons. Then on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s I will most likely do a full body workout of 15 minutes and run on the treadmill in the afternoon for 30 minutes, it differs. As for Wednesday, I use it as an active rest day. I will either do yoga or just stretch. I have a question actually, if you’re a beginner would you alternate between cardio and strength training or am I doing good by just taking it easy and doing some full body cardio workouts?! I plan on only doing full body cardio for 4 weeks. After the 4 weeks are up I will include strength training on my 5th week. That was my initial plan, does it sound like a good habit to go off of?
Yes, I work from home so I do 8 minutes each day; 20 reps of each: push ups, crunches, squats, pull ups (for my arms on the side of my bed)and the plank... I also do more but this is my basic
I don’t know yet. I just started today. I had intended on doing 30 min of walking a day, as that’s what I tell my patients to do, but am open to switching it up once I get into the routine.
No, I walk alot so thats part of my exercise - walk children to and from school 20 mins each way. Roughly 6000 steps. Then I try to do body strength exercises around 10 mins a day - squats, plank push ups etc
I somewhat do. I try me best to do stretches the most because I stand long periods of time each day. I either hike, or walk/jog intervals on my incline treadmill. When I get a chance I do go mountain climbing or bike riding. My chances are rare though given I work 2 jobs for the most part.
Yes! Have used the same exercise throughout my journey so far. I complete the 7-minute workout. It’s only 7 minutes! 7! And yet it makes me feel alive and strong and is so short I really can’t justify missing it. A few times I’ve done other 7 to 10 minute exercises (like yoga stretching), but this 7 minutes is my keeper.
I downloaded a great free workout app FitOn and do different exercises on there. I plan to vary my exercises with running and yoga further on.
My journey has just begun, I am currently doing light jogging on the spot, lifting the dining room furniture over my head, odd painful squats, flailing around on a pull up bar and pushups (on my knees of course) Along with lots of stretching to help the 8 minutes pass. I do believe my strength will grow every day and soon I will be doing all these exercises and more correctly and with ease. I don’t know where your at but I do hope it’s going well for you. Love and respect.
