An exercise plan from the Nike Training Club fitness app. It’s free and tailors the workouts to your ability and how often you do them.
I use the Fabulous workouts here - either the 7 minute one, or a combo of the ab workout and the 1 minute one, and lately I have been trying to wrap up either with some basic yoga poses (downward dog, cat/cow, suptapatagustasana, etc.)
Two days a week I go to Silver Sneakers Yoga. I’ve started trying to do 10 minutes a Day with planks and barbells. (I’m only up to 30 seconds with the plank)! It’s HARD! Plus, I try to get at least 2 to 3K steps a day.
I alternate between running and vinyasa style yoga (it combines strength and flexibility). I find that this combination helps reduce stress and anxiety, helps me breathe easier, and gives me more energy.
I have been jumping on a mini trampoline and doing some free weights. When the weather gets better I want to add a walk outside.
I’ve done all different exercise this week. On Saturday I went to yoga class, on Sunday I tried Twerk class, on Monday I danced around the house, and on Tuesday I walked on the beach.
I just stretch my legs and arms. I start either from my head and neck, or from my feet and then I go upwards with the stretching exercises. I just do... Like four repetitions and I’m done.
Alternate between a 15min yoga (yin or hatha), a 5min ab workout app, and just stretching, depending on how much time I have before leaving for work. The more time I have, the longer the routine. At worst, I “just stretch”.
Either laps on the stairs, yoga/stretching or body weight and kettle bell exercises - it is pretty free form but whatever gets my heart rate up. It might be nice to do 30 min of cardio in the morning and weight training in the afternoon though.
I focus on yoga every morning. I’ve found the more intense the sweating, the harder it is for me to make the change. I want to focus on ways to be healthy that are attainable for me, and I’m just not the weight-lifting, running, crazy intense workout kind of person. I tried to make that work for years and it just didn’t stick. Now I am focusing on yoga and walking, things I already like to do, and then maybe once I gain some traction I will up the intensity. For now, yoga in the mornings makes me feel prepared for the day. It sneaks in a little meditation time at the end, so I’ve moved my muscles and gotten blood flow going, as well as mentally giving myself time to prepare for what’s important to me that day.
