So unlike the other guy I'm only naturally fit and don't go to the gym or have a gym in my garage. I also learned that I don't like racing, it started out with excuses to not sign up, but I eventually figured out that I really didn't want to do it. I find it stressful. But I do think there is great value in fitness. But fitness can come from many places. I have 2 young kids that love to run around and play, and I do that with them. But I'm starting to think that it isn't enough for what I want.
They are too young to challenge me, so I've started to add strength training to my schedule. Might need cardio as well, but for now it is winter and I won't be messing with that too much. Don't have much equipment, or a gym membership, nor do I want that stuff. So I've started a body weight routine. Grabbed beginner's body weight routine from http://nerdfitness.com Nice simply routine. Note: has dumbbells even though it is a body weight routine... I don't get it, but it doesn't matter, I have dumbbells.
10 min warm up (jump jacks, jog...)
20 body weight squats
10 push ups
20 walking lunges
10 dumbbell rows
15 second plank
30 Jumping Jacks
do circuit 3 times, then stretch
I was attempting to do this three times a week, but that gets boring, so I'll probably work on pull-ups and burpees or something else I think is fun. And yes, I think it is fun. Problem is all the other distractions in life that are fun, or needed.
Did this workout Monday after doing different things the week before, and it was hard for some reason. I thought things were supposed to get easier. All well, as long as it isn't boring.
