Any fitness freak frens wanna give some advice?
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
I've been looking to lose some weight and get in better shape lately, but don't really have ready access to a gym because of life circumstances. Figured I'd throw this out there and ask for some advice about working out at home to lose weight with no equipment. I mean there's the obvious push ups, situps, etc. But I'm more looking for advice on how many sets/repetitions, how many days a week, etc. Obviously I plan on dieting a bit as well, but any advice or some kind of link/graphic showing a few basic workout plans would be appreciated.
I figure this post can help some others in the same situation as well given a lot of us want to get in better shape to prepare, but don't have access to the best facilities, and whatnot.
I made a similar "contract" ....an agreement I made with my body to take care of it as long as I can. I joke at the gym, 'Living forever is hard damned work!"
Life experiences taught me years ago (34 years now clean and sober in AA) that life is more than just existing. I developed a philosophy of life, which to me is divided into 4 parts.... the physical, the intellectual, the emotional, and the spiritual. If you ignore any one of those parts, you suffer in some way. So my spiritual self is fed by my prayer and meditation life and work in AA; my physical being is fed by proper diet and going to the gym as much as I do, 5 days a week; the intellectual is fed by constant reading quality books; and the emotional support I get from my wife and my AA friends.
And today I am a happy person because of this way of living. It's something I wish everyone could adopt, but I know human nature and that won't happen for very many people.
I'm seriously impressed! Thank you for sharing. You have done (and continue to do) a very difficulty thing.
