Fitness Check In

Day 41
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Tried some home workout videos but I didn't really like them. I should watch them before trying them because they became a waste of time since I had to do the low impact versions so I didn't bother my downstairs neighbors. I think I'm going to stick with my specific set of exercises.

Day 42
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Rest day

Day 43
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Most abs and lower body today. Can almost do a body weight squat with good form but my ankle mobility is bad so my lower body curves at the bottom of the squat. Going to work on that. If anyone got recommendation for low impact lower abs that would be great. Try to focus on strengthen lower abs and lower back since those are my biggest weak points right now.
 
Days 41-43
Workout/Rest Day Summary: core - upper-body - lower-body focuses on each respective day.

Days 44-45
Workout/Rest Day Summary: rest day. Walked around the neighbourhood.
 
Day 46
Workout/Rest Day Summary: full-body push exercises. Working out was the only time I started to feel awake today. Gotta commit to sleeping on schedule (lights out by 11 PM).
 
Day #26-29:
Workout Summary: Walking, dancing, and push-ups.

Day #30
Workout Summary: Push-ups, walking, jumping jacks, and i'm going to use the exercise bike later. Trying to find something that will actually help me :, )

Aww, hehe, dance is a really fun form of cardio that doesn't feel like you're doing cardio. I haven't done dance cardio in a long time because I lived in apartments for university, so I didn't want to disturb neighbours. You've inspired me to give it another go this weekend! ^^
 
Day 46
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Rest day

Day 47
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Light workout today. Mostly just planks and other core workouts. Need to go to bed more consistently and not take naps during the weekdays.
 
Day #1 of posting
Workout/Rest Day Summary: I worked out yesterday on the treadmill and lifting light weights because I haven't done it in months
Short term goal: Make time to workout often
Long term goal: Get more fit and lose weight off my face and waist mostly
 
just started a new exercise regiment that will hopefully allow me to burn belly fat. I do have set times for these so that the whole thing lasts about 10 min but for now I just do each one as long as possible.

heres what I'm doing:
Plank
Side Plank
Knee-to-Elbow
Russian Twists
Alt. Oblique Crunch
Heel Touches
Toe Taps
Flutter Kicks
Reverse Cruches
Double Leg Lifts
Plank

just tried it today and I'm definitely feeling the burn. my lower abdomen feels like it's on fire lol. I can do each one of these for about 20-30 seconds right now. I can hold a plank for 20 seconds but no longer. I'm gonna do this 4 days a week, alternating on and off days (both days on the weekend), and hopefully I start to feel better soon!

I'm also doing some stretches/yoga to loosen up before I exercise. plus im just so tired of my muscles being tight all the time.

If anyone has a good stretch/yoga regiment let me know, I'm interested in doing a sort of "full body" stretch.
 
Day 51-52
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Rest day. Didn't do anything Saturday and had intentions of working out on Sunday but I also forgot to do laundry.

Day 53
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Full body to make up the last 3 days of rests. Lots of core stuff. I lost some progress but that's to be expected since I'm not that strong to begin with but I was able to do reverse crunches a little easier than before.

There's a flexibilty subreddit that has a beginner full body stretching routine with progressions in their FAQ and a video to follow along. From what I remember it's like 30 minutes long and it's more of a rest day routine and not something to combine with an hour workout. It's a very static stretching routine and not something you want to do for a warm up and not something you want to do when you are tired cause your form will suffer.

Find some dynamtic warm up routines to get your heart pumping. I tried Chloe Ting warm up for the 2020 2-week shread and I think it's fine as a warm up. It's about 6 minutes long.

For the muscles being tight all of the time it's something you have to address throughout the day and not just during workout time. If you sit all day, having a reminder to get up every 1-2 hours and walk around your home and drink some water is good if you don't do that already. There's some very low impact excerises/stretches you can do during your break. I have a desk job so I try to walk around and focus on standing straight to keep good posture.
