Just body weight training to build muscles and strength

Yoga and some meditation

Running/ Jogging/ Walking only

I simply do nothing apart from mindful eating

[desidoll]

4 times of weight training (X 2 arms +X2legs) and 2 days of cardio (rowing machine, treadmill).

[lastlyfound]

Wow!! How heavy are the weights that you generally lift?

[lastlyfound]

And it's in gym or home?

[desidoll]

Yes! It is a home gym. We actually bought different set of weight (kettlebell, dumbbells, barbell) together with the rowing machine, pull up bar and treadmill. Gym is not necessary needed to get fit. I don’t go heavy for arms. You know girls focus on legs more lol. I usually use 30lbs (pair) for arms and legs 50lbs kettlebell- 7 workouts, 10 reps and 3 sets. For deadlift at the moment I am only able to do twice of my weight. I just gave birth in Dec last year so I lost some strength. Looking forward to get stronger in a few months.

Ok!! Nice work done to set up a gym at home itself.
And yeah why is it that girls focus a lot more on lower body /legs than arma or upper body?

[desidoll]

Because our clothes fit better when we are more toned on the lower part considering 70% of our whole body starts from the abdominal. I don’t focus much on middle section because I learn that for this, your diet is basically contributing like 90% of it so no point doing abs workout when your bodyfat is still high. Another reason is to get the round peachy butt!

[lastlyfound]

I get!! Also is it that, in general, a woman's lower body/ legs etc are more stronger and powerful than a man's?

[desidoll]

Yes, that’s what I read too and it is the other way around for arms lol.

[Sim890]

Can you lift 30 ibs in biceps curl with dumbbells?

[mandyfire98]

Yoga, dancing, working out in a gym to stay in shape

[lastlyfound]

You mean some days yoga and some days gym weight training?

[mandyfire98]

Yeah. I don't do a whole lot of weight training honestly. Just more reps less weight to keep me toned.

I wrestle angels all night long and eventually pin them down until they bless me. ﾠ

Just like Jacob of Israel

I go to the gym. I hired a personal trainer to help me get back in shape recently. I pay her $150 a month. For that, she checks in with me at least twice a week (often daily), structures workouts for my goals and provides me with a suggested grocery list.

$150 sounds like a lot, but I was spending more than that eating out and drinking alcohol. When I cut that out (which I had to in order to make time for the gym), I actually SAVED money hiring her. Her grocery recommendations are cheaper than when I was buying groceries myself as well.

I marked "yoga and some meditation"... but the Yoga, is not the standard of what many believe it to be... I started with a Hard Yoga' studio and stayed with it... yet my conditioning is NOT what it should be.

I have no health problems at all, with some minor "low back', like many. Confessing that I have not been running or running stairs as I should be at this point, but do get some 'Cardio" with "mountain Climbing, during Yoga.

I am in far better shape (body shape wise compared to my male peers in the class) but still NOT nearly what I feel I should be, and plan changing that in the near term

Neither. I use a Synapse CCR that uses a 4:1 pulley and it allows eccentric overload. After training with that, often I am done in 3 reps and have to rest from 4-5 days. This is because unlike other training, it provides constant time under tension isometrically, concentrically and eccentrically. There is a bit of a learning curve concerning where to position your body though. After this workout, I noticed all tension in my back and shoulders vanished and I felt really relaxed and more flexible. You get very strong and build muscle too. Due to how it looks, people don't really give it a chance so miss out!

In the following video, skip to 23:55 to see the big guy struggling to do a few reps of bicep curls:

I think at my age its vital that its a Combination of Cardio and seriously trying to build muscle , and anyone over 45 should follow this , muscle mass needs to be worked on as you age , and the older you get the more important it is , I'm actually 63 , which freaks me out to even think about , but when you are in 20s , you are never going to be 63 , but I'm in much better shape than I was at say 45 years.

[lastlyfound]

What's MJ?

mary jane

[curiousmandy]

I typically do yoga two times a week and then resistance training 3-4 other days a week. I am starting to use some weights for things like squats as I am focusing on my glutes now more than other areas

[pascal_climbs]

Because of my two main sports (climbing and obstacle runs), Being able to play with body weight and have a high fitness level is very important. especially upper body strength to lift my body with my arms is extremely important

[HawkPerception]

I just do body weight training. I only do pushups, situps, handstand pushups, muscle ups and for legs and cardio, I do soccer training. It has me looking pretty damn good in my opinion. I get a lot of compliments when I go to the beach 😏

[Levin]

Strength training with weighted calisthenics.

Although I have some mild tendonitis that needs a few more days to heal.

Fortunately I have some obscure kung fu strength training exercises I can use.

[Chazmatazz269]

I swim for now. Once i’ve lost a bit of weight, i’ll add running back into the mix. I may start bicycling again soon too, but i keep putting off buying a new bike.
