I am trying two things. The first is no walking. If I slow to a walk, then I am done for the day. This will keep my lazy brain from doing anything but - run.

The second is something I have always avoided - speedework*. The literature says that 30 second bursts uphill are the very best training practice for improving speed, which for me, right now, is the speed of a solid,

I accidentally typed "spadework." For the sake of the thread, I corrected it, but let it be known that I avoid spadework, too. .

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Hello you two. Nice to see you back.

Things are opening up here too, and while standard training sessions now have to be booked at least the gyms are opening. Since time is restricted to an hour now I'm going 4 times a week and in another couple of weeks I'll up it to 5 times a week. I won't go higher than that though as a couple of rest days are always a good thing. With the walking involved getting to the gym entailing a 3 mile trip that's not too bad. I certainly feel happier working some stress out.

I have to smile at the young people (and I know a few) who go to the gym regularly but their houses are a mess and could do with a good clean. I suppose cleaning isn't so glamorous as the gym even if you wear a leotard .

When I have cleaned the windows or dug the garden I feel I have had a good workout.

I recently dug all the soil out of my raised beds /put it on the lawn/tipped horse muck in the bottom/then put the soil back.
Who need weight lifting
As long as you stay active, that's a positive! Gardening is good exercise and fun too!

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Ok, I am new here. As in, brand new! Thought I would go to a thread I have some background in.

My workout earlier:

Ran 1 mile
50 pull ups
100 push ups
150 air squats
Finished with another mile

I enjoy exercising and staying healthy. Try to get a min of 4 days a week in.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Good suggestion Floydy. You seem to have a solid workout routine. Assuming someone can exercise regularly, 4 days a week is a good amount. What do you do for exercise?

Floydy doesn't post here any more. It's a shame as I miss him because he is a great guy and always very supportive.

Welcome to the thread by the way!

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Welcome from me also Silverathlete, good avatar by the way..

Yes, I miss Flydy too, he kept us all in hand and motivated, and added a new dimension to all the fitness threads.
I just run 20 miles per week with some pressups (push ups) every day. I only do the push ups because if I don't it will be another thing that I can't do anymore....

I've just turned seventy, and will keep going as long as I'm able to get out of bed in a morning. I think this phrase sums it up rather nicely:-

Don't stop running because you get old;
You get old because you stop running:.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Nearly back at my pre lockdown daily pace target of 30000 paces a day. I fast walk at 2100 paces per mile so, 30000 is 14.25 miles per day or 100 miles a week, the equivalent of walking from central Birmingham to Central London every week.
