Is there anything I can do as a replacement of a workout?

[echoflowerrr]

I workout every day except for one every week for like, 2 hours. Sometimes I only do 1 hour depending on if I'm not very motivated or if there's something stopping me from doing the 2 hours. I also don't like taking break days if I haven't worked out for at least 5 or 6 days, unless it's because I'm having bad cramps or something like that. Today, I started having small back pain, not cramps, but it just came out of nowhere. My sister wouldn't leave me alone until I let her crack my back bc she wanted to help but she just made it worse when I let her do it lol and now my back hurts when I bend over, it hurts when i turn my upper body, when I stretch in like the way that you arch your back or something like that, or pretty much when I do anything. Whenever I don't workout, I just do stretches, like yoga, for at least 20 minutes, but right now I don't want to just do that if I'm actually able to do something else that replaces working out. Obviously if there's nothing I can do that's similar to working out, I'll just stretch and go on with my day, but I just wanted to know if there is something similar that I can do.

Honestly you don’t need to workout that much. I’d say workout 3 times a week and then do cardio 2 times a week. With the last 2 days being rest day. You should be ok

[echoflowerrr]

Okayy, thank you

You can try turning your bedroom into a makeshift workout area. Find a wall that can support your legs, then do some sit ups off of that as a support!

Walking, cleaning the entire house (it is actually good exercise), carrying the groceries.

It really depends on what your goals are but you should be able to get in and out every day in less than an hour. Want to look at restructuring your workout plans

[smurfwrangler]

depends on what you're trying to achieve by working out

[echoflowerrr]

Mostly lose body fat

[smurfwrangler]

in that case just eat less. try fasting for a week.

[echoflowerrr]

I don't eat very much but I definitely can't fast lmao, my family wouldn't let me

[smurfwrangler]

even though you're overweight? I would let my daughter fast...

[echoflowerrr]

I'm not overweight? 😭 I don't think you have to be overweight to want to lose weight

[smurfwrangler]

that's true
