Exercising without a gym

[Ender]

Does chasing a bus consider exercising ?

Depends. If you chased til you reach your destination, then can consider it's exercising.

Mike Craven has an amazing book in amazon which contain mostly body weight exercises. He is a SEAL instructor and I seriously didn;t know that there are so many variants of bodyweight exercises that you can do without a gym.

 

So now I kind of cycle like 2 days of bodyweight exercises and then 1 day of gym to give the body some variety and muscle confusion.

 

Check out this book. Wonderful for exercising without gym

There are many exercises you can find on youtube for your abs without having any equipment.include some running in the morning to that.,

abs will show when ur body fat is low.

 

just do alot of running to melt the fat then once u get that, start focusing on gym and abs workout to purge them out more.

 

i often wonder whats the point of doing abs crunches when i see a person who is not even low in body fat...they r wasting their time.

Hospitals got gym for physio-therapy. So many people thought themselves to be patients in need of such gym? If none, just do regular running, or fast walking

 

Agreed.

If can't do running, at least try fast walking... be fast walk to market, or to bus stop / MRT station....

else, just tahan your bowels movement until you have to fast walk back to home toilet

 

A little bit of exercise, will definitely help us, ourselves, and in turn, everyone else :)

The best options I would say is to rely on ground exercises like pushups, sit ups, pull ups and if you can get into cycling and swimming which are really nice and mostly injury free too.

[Feliss]

Running and swimming is good enough imo.

my personal experience ...

 

I enjoy outdoor exercise like jogging and swimming and go gym for resistance, but too much jogging does cause some pain in my joints and feet every now and then.

 

So now I am more vigilant on my diet, cos if I eat sensibly means I can enjoy my jog better.

 

Still enjoy my steak, chicken rice with skin, kuay chap, roti prata etc ... but cut down in portion and/or frequency ...

 

Gradually replace my mee goreng + egg supper with cereal + milk / soya milk (non Yeo's ).

 

So now instead of jogging to work out what I have eaten, I eat with more diligence so that when I jog, its less stress on my mind and body and a more enjoyable experience.

[Blueray]

Can observe what cause the pain in joints and feet. Footwear? method of jogging? pavement jogging route? body weight? frequency og practice sessions? recovery time?

 

my weight ... ... controlling my food intake so now think I have lost some weight and enjoying my jogs even more.

 

for me, I would use jogging shoes for 9 - 12 months then start using a new pair as I need the support, old pair I just continue as walking shoes.

 

I jog around 40 - 45 mins 2 - 3 times a week, the route is mainly pavement and up and down slope.

 

I sweat a lot so after jogging drink cold coconut water or pocari ...

[Blueray]

You may want to jog along rubberised running track or over grass. The pavement is too hard for our joints and lead to damaged knees and/or heels injuries. Something is not right if there is pain felt.

If die-die have to jog/run over hard surface, use those shoes with air-cushioned soles. Either the ground absorb the impact during our jogging/running, or our joints get damaged and worn out eventually.

Many young people thought they could run Marathon with various training programmes. Only to be told to give up by doctors. Many/most training programmes for running/jogging are incorrect, resulting in pain, injuries, and chronic damages.

We need to take care our ourselves. Exercise to keep fit, not injured or crippled.

Do not under-estimate our protein requirement for exercising to keep fit. Do not neglect resting for recovery.

So lucky, I happen to had attended running clinic conducted by our Mok Yin Ren, and learned all these precautions not found online or otherwise.

I do not like some canned coconut water with a little too much sugar added like some isotonic drinks. Those tetra-packed type seems alright although cost more.

 

Thanks, tried running at stadium before but its really boring running in circles, and because I sweat heaps, have to bring along spare t shirt, towel etc ... a bit of logistics.

 

So rather run around my place and invest in shoes with good support and change every year. I used to run with Nike Air Pegasus but found the recent models lacking in support and cushioning, so switched to Asics.

 

Still watching my diet and moderating my eating to shed a bit more weight so that I can continue enjoying my runs for many more years.

Both golfer Phil Mickelson and Jason Dufner are on this diet.

I started 3 weeks ago. Progress is slow mainly due to always eating out. The results is expected but lets see if I can control my gout over the long run.
