Do you employ weights in the morning exercise or do pure calisthenthics?

Hey! For my early morning workouts I stick to straight calisthenics, just to get my blood flowing! I wait until my late morning/afternoon workout to use weights 🙂

I’m an older lady, and I have not kept a good habit of exercising through my life. I’m not overweight so a good dance before and after the 1 min workout is what I have worked up to in the past 2 weeks. Hopefully soon I will include a little weight training. I’ve also started to adjust the 7 min workout with exercises that I am capable of doing.

My walking goal daily is 15,000 steps. To accomplish this, I walk 3 miles to the train station instead of taking a closer bus to work. I sometimes carry 2 lb hand weights with me (if my hands aren’t already full carrying other things) 🙂

I typically do cardio and do high INTENSITY exercises in the morning. I go for a walk in the evening but use it as a way to clear my mind rather than a workout

I do strength training three times a week for an hour each session and then a spin class three times a week for an hour session. The 7th is devoted to yoga.

Morning exercise I usually enjoy going for a run or swim, plus sometimes a core workout. Not a huge fan of weights, so not especially keen in the morning.

I use weights every other day with a goal of about 15-20 total sets of about 8-12 reps. Using weight that gets me close to failure (should be hard). Do this at least 2-3 times per week. Calisthenics are fine, especially if you don’t have access to weights, but depending on the exercise may require more reps than you would otherwise have to do. And I don’t like having to count to 50+. 🙂

Every morning I start with streching exercises at home. After that some push ups and planking. 3 times a week I go to the gym. 20 min cardio, 60 min excercises with weights

No. In the mornings I do simple exercises that get the body moving. I will have a proper workout later during the day anyway.

I’ve been doing calisthenics, but I know I ought to incorporate weights. I was thinking maybe rocks in my backpack would work. I have to go collect them, & weigh them.
