Much different than the rowing machine, elliptical and free weights that I’m used to, but did 2km non-stop first time, little knee pain afterwards, but going for third run today, slow and steady to build up and learn the technique of running.

I’m hoping soon to have the image of Forest Gump leave my mind....:-)

Running it tough for me too. It just hurts all over. And with prior back problems I avoid it.

I am going to try though and do some light running.

Did a 4 mile run followed by 500 push ups (sets of 50) and 800 crunches (different angles and inclines).

Take it slow at first, real slow, increase and decrease your pace as you feel, there's no rush, sounds like we'll all have plenty of time to develop our running technique.

Just did 3 km non-stop for my second run, then a 1 km cool down walk.

Did my dynamic warm-up routine prior, and finished with some push-ups and inverted sit-ups.

I have to get my hands on some free weights - two 3 litre Diet Pepsi bottles just aren't doing the trick....

Main thing for me, burning that mental energy, if I don't, my head turns into a bad neighbourhood, and my parents always taught me to stay out of places like that....

Good luck, take it slow, and let us know how you did, make sure you stretch your back before and after.

I can see how this running thing can turn you into a machine, really feel it over the entire body, feels good.

Great, just what I need, to become obsessed with running now....

This looks cool, think I'll try this once I get better at jogging in a week or two, when my distance is around 5 km.

Thanks!

Years ago I found a book called "Chi Running." It taught me how to reposition my body for pain and stress-free running.

I think I recall that name.

great reminder. thank you,

I will look for it. I would love to. run again.

[PeqFB]

I’ve got some much equipment that there aren’t many things I can’t do. The only thing I don’t have is a treadmill so I have to actually run outside.

You're welcome. It stopped shin splints and lower back pain for me.

I'm going to miss swimming, though.

Gotta keep the blood moving!

Usually my go to is lifting—check out the Body Beast workouts. Builds a nice physique over time. Couple this with daily walks of ~3miles with the wife and dog and I’m a happy camper.
These days with so much on my mind , I find myself doing my ‘normal walk’ 2 and sometimes 3 times per day. Usually I bring my willing pup. That means I’m getting 2-3 hours per day (~9mi) and has helped in reducing overall stress/anxiety. It’s a great time to talk with the wife. And, if it’s just me and the boy, an uplifting podcast, something educational, or inspirational has been helpful...
Don’t underestimate the power of frequent, long walks, everyone. Great way to clear the mind and meditate.
Stay healthy!

Forgot to mention, today's exercise was a hike with the dog. Well, actually, I went for ride in the truck with the dog and then a walk in the woods. The dog practiced social distancing: he took off around half way, and met me back at the truck when I finally caught up.

Get out and get some air!

I do not have much equipment at home and it cramped with the wife and I both in there sharing equipment. We are making do with some simple workouts.

Quick burner yesterday. I did not have a lot of time.

20 reps each:
Air Squats
Sit ups
Walking Lunge Steps
Pushups
Med-Ball Crunches

5 Rounds
(100 total reps of each movement)
(try to rest as little as possible)




Tonight:

10 Minutes of Burpess
10 Minutes on the treadmill
Then, I will take a little Ruck around the neighborhood. Probably ruck with 25# tonight for 1.5 - 2 miles.

[Beo3]

No workout, but work today. Climbed twenty stories twice at my latest project and according to my IPhone I walked a total of 28,918 steps.

I think this counts as my cardio for the day.

[Wesley Crusher]

I did crossfit for 2 years before switching strictly to olympic lifting. My gym officially closed down today and I am losing my f'king mind lmao.

I don't have a home gym, but now I'm seriously thinking of building one in my garage.

For the time being, I guess I'll have to do some CrossFit WODs from home.

[rmlovett1]

No change in the routine, same as last 20 years...(last 10yrs at home)....
Lifting-body part split, 1-2 body parts per day, every day
Cardio-hit the machines (treadmill, elliptical, stair master) for 70-80 minutes, steady state, then outside for 20-30 min, medium to fast tempo run or bike....every day
FL / GA home gyms

I was able to knock out my 3k run this morning. It was raining, but not pouring!

[Brew]

Run got rained out here.

[superdog]

Nothing yet today.

But later for sure. I slept in a bit again today.

Oddly enough, I’m sleeping a little better during the last two days.

[uscmatt99]

Dang everyone is in better shape than me! Here was my row today. Next goal is 12k meters in an hour, while keeping average heart rate under 155.

I need to get myself a new Trek mountain beast and get back on trail...

[zorinindustries]

I alternate days between 7-10 mile run and a calisthenics workout. Sunday off.

Great thread and so necessary right now.

I used to run 3k at my condo gym 4 times a week. Since space is limited for me my workout has been body weight focused with burpees, push-ups, pull-ups and planks.

Hoping to do some running outside when it gets a bit warmer.

Adding burpees into anything is a great workout!!! They are so hard. I love them, but they are hard on my back. I used to love doing 100 for time. I started out over 10 minutes. Got it down to nearly 5. I would love to try this again.

I have been having weird workouts.

Every room has some kind of equipment. So I did the elliptical this am, but I am going pushups, air squats, planks and all sorts of things depending on where I am.

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER when I workout. It is uncanny at how much of a different there as to how the day goes.
