The Raja wants to hear what others have been doing...
Being, poor, I have had to kludge together my own workout programs without a gym or equipment or someone telling me what to do...
yesterday I chose 5 exercises from the TM website. I did each for one minute with 15ish seconds in between. Then, I repeated that 3 times (easing my way into it - normally will do 5 times I think). The exercises I did were:
1) TM pushup -- this is where after every push-up you rotate one arm into the air so your arms are in a straight line. The website said to do them with dumbelss. I don't have any so I did them without. And, it was tough. Got around 20-25 pushups in each 60secs.
2) Scissors kick -- this is where you go down into a lunge position and kick up and switch legs. And, continue doing this for 60secs.
3) Planks -- fairly self explanatory
4) quick feet -- go into a pushup position and then bring your knees to your chest in succession like running.
5) side planks -- basically planks but on your sides. 60secs for each side.
All in all, I was able to do everything fine. The push-ups and scissors kicks were definitely the most brutal with the side planks being the least. The quick feet was more taxing on my lungs than my legs, though they were still sore from the scissors kicks.
I am pretty sore today. But, the good, i just kicked my ass, kind of sore. I look forward to doing more. I think I may be a bit too deliberate with my movements and not
I am still waiting on my shoes to arrive in the mail so I can do some proper running. And, with the weather, it's been tough to get out and bike like I want to. But, I still hit up the gym and do some cardio in the mornings. I also have some weights coming my way. So, I will be able to add a bit more resistance to my workouts.
My biggest concern is energy levels. I have tired legs right now. And, I don't think I eat enough yet to keep up with my workouts. It's only been a few days. I will figure this out.
I like working out.
