I try to do exercises 4-5 times a week for half an hour. I started doing this recently, 2 weeks ago. I am more interested not in losing weight, but in improving my health. At work, I sit at the computer. Because of this, my back always hurts. So I want to strengthen the muscles of the whole body. If I exercise regularly, I feel more energetic, active and enduring. I hope that I will not stop doing exercises, because sometimes I am very lazy, especially after a hard day's work.
I’ve had a WO routine for a few years that involves deadlifts and squats. I’ve found that I never have back pain from sitting in a chair (like you I’m usually in front of a computer all day). I also find that I have better posture while walking or standing.
For the past few years the WO routine “in theory” involved 4 WO per week. But the reality was that I traveled a lot, so in a given month I was lucky to get in the full 4 WO twice. Then COVID hit and I was working from home. Now I had time to do 4 WO per week. But I am 56 and after about 5 months I was starting to wear down because 5 hours/week of weight training was a bit much. Now I’m trying to keep it at 4 hours - if I can get to 4 WO in a week, I try to do a short run for one of them. Seems to be working a bit better.
Long walk with LOTH!!And since the thread is ”What was your workout today?”
Well yesterday it was
Back squats
Bench Press pyramid (trying out a pyramid for really one of the first times, usually I do all sets at the same weight)
Bent Over Row
Inverse Row
Upright Row
Weighted Crunch
Skull Crushers
Standing DB curls
For about 2 years now I’ve been running a Full Body WO - that way if I miss a WO its no big deal, I’m still going to hit those muscles 2 days later.
Today, if I get my butt off the couch
Hip Thrusters
Bulgarian Split Squats
DB overhead press
pull ups
DB declined Bench Press
a few lower body ab exercises
Overhead triceps extensions and tricep kickbacks
inclined DB curls and preacher curls
Sunday is my trash day - WO most likely to be skipped. All the top tier exercises are on other days.

Pickle ball. Just started playing, fun, fast, hand eye and the old folks are competitive.
2.3 mile run. It was my second run in idk how many years. I ran a similar route on 7/12.
Feels good to be moving!

Wow, over a year since my last post. Back at the gym, resistance training and upping the cardio with strenuous mountain hikes weekly. More fit than last year, a slow process, still playing pickle ball.
I aim to get in a half hour of exercise at least four to five days a week. I only started doing this about two weeks ago. Improving my health is a higher priority for me than reducing my body fat at this point. At work, I do most of my work on the computer. As a result of this, my back aches all the time. Therefore, one of my goals is to build up the strength in all of my muscles. When I exercise on a regular basis, I have increased vigor, activity, and stamina. I really hope that I won't get to the point where I quit working out since there are times when I am really lethargic, particularly after a long day at work.
I trained back, biceps and triceps today. My today's workout was as follows: Pull-ups. Bent over rows. Close grip lat pulldown. Seated row. Skull crushers. with ranboo music.
I appreciate you for it.
I have kept at it since my last post.
Those 2.3 mile runs felt like accomplishments back in July, and they were a good start.
Today (I guess Yesterday now!), I ran a little over 5 miles at a 7:50/mile pace. Sunday was a run just over 10 miles.
I had scheduled my first half marathon for April 2nd, but I trained too well and ran it February 19th.
I have lost a lot of extra fat from my neck and face. Don't worry though, I still have it on my belly and love handles! That wasn't the reason I started running, but it's a lovely side effect!
As of now, I don't plan on running a full marathon. However, I never thought I would run that 13.1 miles, so I guess we'll see where the road takes me.
