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.
Glad I’m not alone - I herniated my disc about 5 weeks ago & had the sciatic pain down my right leg- thankfully I can sit/stand now. I started going to a chiropractor- probably should’ve done it sooner- but I’m relatively pain free now. I was walking 1.5 miles a day and was trying to increase it only b/c I work from home and need to have some movement. Anyways I guess walking too much is one of the things not good for my back! Ugh - I can’t do anything high impact- have to be careful with lifting/pushing/pulling- I’m considering yoga or tai chi. So frustrating. Someone at church mentioned to me coral calcium by barefoot- a supplement he swears helped his back some 20 years ago. I might give it a whirl.
