Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Ever since I started getting back in shape about 6 years ago, I exercise 4 to 6x a week. The sessions are short but intense. I like short and simple. There are already too many fancy exercise regimes these days.
As an ex elite cross-country, I know what I need to do. My workout sessions are usually between 20 - 30 minutes. A bit longer when I do an Interval session. I mean, I have a life to enjoy and don't want to give more time for exercising than necessary.
So here is what I do:
1th day - an all body circuit workout, 30 min. without stopping
2nd day - an anaerobic Interval session, 30 min. = 1 on - 1 min off
3th day - off
4th day - strength workout - upper body 30 min. total
5th day - strength workout - lower body 30 min. total
6th day - running or roller skiing workout / 30 - 45 min. max
7th day - in the summer just walking fast uphill
in the winter, I may go cross-country skiing. This burns by far
the most calories when going at a decent pace
Do I have to motivate myself to do it. Not anymore, it has become routine like taking a shower every morning. And I know what is at stake / my health. Even so, I don't have any guarantee for that either.... but certainly worth it
