I’m one to look for the most bang for buck with what I do.
So for fitness I’m looking for the best things I can do in the least amount of time to get the best results.
What I have found for myself without a gym or desire to join one is the below
Sprint training - cardio and anaerobic Burpees for muscles seems to work all body is quick and very effective
Thoughts comments concerns?
And more importantly what’s your picks
Jumping rope is up there for sure
It is full on!
Don’t underestimate walking. If you have time getting 10k to 20k steps a day and watching your caloric intake will have you burning fat but keeping lean muscle mass.
I found this has failed me I have been keeping my steps up over 10k not abusing my diet and yet have found I have fatty liver. I think the lack of some harder exercise is what I may be missing
I've been doing the carnivore diet for more than a year now. Outstanding health benefits and I'm never giving it up. I didn't have fatty liver disease, but a lot of people who do report that the carnivore diet fixes that fairly quickly.
It's also a lot easier and more enjoyable than counting calories (which I did for a while as well, with decent results, but damn, it's is not fun).
The carnivore diet is not popular with mainstream media and medicine (which is a good sign, in my opinion), but if you search on youtube for fatty liver and carnivore, you'll find lots of information.
Thank you I’ll check it out
You really got to track your calories and macros. If you can go get a DEXA scan and find out what your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Then track every single calorie you eat. The random snack or overeating during a single meal is very easy to do and can throw off your progress
It sure can! I haven’t been tracking down to the calorie but I’m around 1500 calories a day
That around 1500 could be 1800 very easily. Plus if you have a metabolic issue then you might need to do more than calorie check. Maybe track your blood sugars as well
Deadlifts.
What if you have no equipment?
I don’t know pick up something heavy? Haha
Like the weight of the accountability of putting my targets on SN healthandfitness
Haha that does sound heavy.
It would be at least 1.5x body weight on the bar so it’s recommended you wear a lifting belt
Yep
Pushups? Pull-ups (if you can do them)
I thought they would be covered in a burpee except the pull up I guess
That's why you put a bar above you and add a pull-up to it. Oooh-wee!
For home cardio, so kind of TABATA or sprints in the garden , pick up a weights vest maybe.
Pull-ups and push ups
Yoga , maybe something like DDP yoga with more emphasis on strength
Pushups if you don’t have any equipment
Push ups are part of a burpee ? Do you find they are better by themselves?
No
Squats
Squats are part of a burpee ? Do you find they are better by themselves?
When training -I prefer to do a variety of movements because I find burpies boring. That and I enjoy doing them thought the day.
I thought I'd say squats because it is one of the best possible exercises you can do for your physical health.
Leg strength will be huge into old age as a big issue can be falls so having solid legs and balance is crucial
Swimming or walking
I mean deadlifts. Obviously deadlifts. Whole posterior chain!
pushups pull-ups
kettlebell swings and goblin squats ab roller
Yes
then do some reading to exercise the mind
I think a long 8 mile run is one of the best workouts one can do. I also think it is about what you are trying to do with your body and what your goals are.
Currently I’m trying to drop some weight as per my post for the next three months #845781
Running 100%
how much do you run?
Me ? I do sprints three times a week
not you but question for random who said running, not sprinting, 100%
impressive that you sprint 3 x per week
I am shocked that someone effeminate and overweight like random runs or does any exercise
I kind of do it as I get more value out of my time. Apparently gets me the same as twice as long jogging
again the question was for the guy or girl who said Running 100%
If we are talking literally a single exercise then yes I would say burpees. If we are talking workouts then I would say HIIT work outs, which I will say more about in a post that i will make later this week…
Suspense!
Honestly there isn't 1 workout that's going to effectively hit your whole body, especially from home. If I wanted to work out, from home, and effectively train my entire body I would do something like this.
view on youtu.beIt's bodyweight and it's scalable depending on your fitness level.
This is pretty good!
Here is how to construct the perfect home total body workout A:
COMPLETE 1-2 MORE ROUNDS (TOTAL WORKOUT TIME: 35-50 MINUTES)
Here is how to construct the perfect home workout B:
HINGE / POSTERIOR x 3 ROUNDS Slick Floor Bridge Curl (Single Leg) OR Slick Floor Bridge Curl (Dual Leg) Long Leg March High Hip Bucks
LUNGE / ANTERIOR x 3 ROUNDS Alt. Crossover Step Ups Alt. Reverse Lunges Split Squat Jumps
UPPER PUSH x 3 ROUNDS Variable Wall Pushups OR Knee Decline Pushups to Knee Flat Pushups Alt. BW Side Lateral Raises (from knees for beginners) Tricep BW Extensions (long head stretch)
UPPER PULL x 3 ROUNDS Chin Ups OR Seated Chin Ups Inverted Rows Back Widows
ABS x 2 ROUNDS Ab Halos V-Up Tucks Sit-Up Elbow Thrusts
CORRECTIVE x 2 ROUNDS Reverse Hypers
COMPLETE 1-2 MORE ROUNDS (TOTAL WORKOUT TIME: 35-50 MINUTES)
Best workout is any in the sun. I do simple routines. Mostly stretches of the kind. But, pushups (diamond) ab work and thats really it. Eat well (mean, local, seasonal), get light and have a good life.
Love that . Grounding sun exposure love it
100 pushups a day! And 2/3 min plank.
Is there much point in doing a plank if you are pumping out push ups aren’t they just a harder variant of a plank essentially
Whatever you decide to do, do it a little bit without straining yourself, but do it every single day.
That’s good advice
I think deadlifts 100%
if you have zero equipment and don't want to get bar and plates etc, I would say kettlebell workouts. Don't take up much space and you can get a lot done.
If you are still super hardcore on not getting any equipment, then I would say weighted pushups. just pop on a backpack with some stuff in it and start going.
sprints or skipping for cardio
Great suggestions
Lol depends on your goal if you just want to be lean just eat well and do cardio, if you want to be jacked you'll have to do a bunch of excercises to work on each muscle group
Cardio without and strength training is not optimal as they each have different benefits
I agree, but OP is talking about least complex/effort you adding more variables now, personally I do a mix, my cardio comes from soccer and I do strength training inbetween, and none of that matters if you eat like shit
Yeah I want best results for minimum time and equipment. Go hard and go home
Swimming
If I can only pick one, I'm going Yoga.
squats with a barebell
Nothing compares to running 🏃♂️
Running is great but alone not so good in my opinion people that only run seem to lack some muscle
