    Bet most of the “lift heavy”s here grab 45lb dumbbells and swing their whole body

  • Y’all sleeping on body weight exercises. But the poll should allow multiple responses. Do a combo of body weight + cardio and you’re set. Too much heavy lifting is terrible for the joints. But maybe it depends on what you’re trying to maximize. Personally, I want a long life at an optimal health for as long as possible.

    • I follow a few calisthenics accounts on insta (like hybrid.calisthenics) and get most of my exercises from there. Blogilates on YouTube is good too. Push ups, pull ups, crunches, all good, just avoid doing any one thing too much, you can still run into repetitive use injuries with bw exercise. Also, seriously consider rock climbing. It can be an expensive hobby but great.

      Get into yoga. I was a “manly man” at one point until a new friend of mine absolutely schooled me with his flexibility and strength, and all he did for work outs was yoga. I have a Core Yoga membership. If you don’t want to go into the studio, they have an app with tons of videos, easy to do at home.

      Get some light weights, like 10-15lbs. There’s a ton of mobility and range of motion exercises for shoulders, knees, hips, etc that you can find online.

      Get a bike. A stationary bike is good, but I think having road bike and biking in real world conditions is better. Might depend on the air quality where you live though.

      And diet is the last important part. I mostly do 80/20 as a rule, so weekends are usually the 20. But I eat whatever makes me feel good physically, not emotionally, and that was a hard thing to change. I’ve been listening to Hubermans podcast lately, which relates to that topic. Science based approach to understanding motivation, changing habits, etc.

      Anyway, find something that works for you. The above works for me.

      My weeks are usually
      M,W - rock climbing
      T,Th,Su - biking, yoga, bw exercise alternating muscle groups
      Everyday - get outside, go on a walk, you’ll feel better

    • I’ll add that T,Th biking is indoors, Sunday I get outside. These exercises are almost always in the morning before work, rare exceptions. I used to think I was a night owl, but that was honestly just me stagnating. I feel way better working out first thing in the morning, better way to get out of bed than doomscrolling or sleeping in.

      But again, find whatever honestly works for you.

    90 mins 5 times a week with weights and at least 2 big outings on the bike a week.

    Mid 40’s and I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in.

    Here’s a plug, of which I get no benefits: get an app that works for you. I use FitBod and in 1 year, it has changed my life!!

    • How did the app change your life? Did it motivate you?

      Made me workout better. Focus on the right muscles at the right time with the right progression.

      I see my legs and core much stronger, which means I burn more fat and now I’m simply in much better shape.

      And it also means no “slow days” where I don’t know what to do. I always do what the app tells me to do. A.l.w.a.y.s
