For many of you, gyms are still closed or opening and closing intermittently as our governments both federal and state tackle how to solve the COVID enigma. For us, it’s about choosing systems and processes that compensate for this chaos and introduce stability in our lives. Exercise is no different.

I adopted the use of exercise bands, so I could duplicate what I do in the gym to the home. Cardio is a no-brainer. Walk up your stairs a few times and your heart rate will jump up quite nicely. You can also take walks outside to get out of your house for a bit.

My workout this week, will duplicate last week’s, but add another set. So this week, I’ll be hitting all the big muscle groups (legs, back, chest, and abs) and smaller groups (arms, shoulders, and calves). So each day I’ll be doing two sets of each exercise for a full-body workout Monday – Saturday. I always take Sunday off from exercise, other than chores and walking around while shopping or running errands.

Have a great week, folks!

Until next time…

Monday – Thursday, Saturday-Sunday:

I’ll continue the current routine this week, with full body circuits (3) using my exercise bands. I’ve also decided on building my own home gym. The gyms opening and closures are not conducive to a consistent workout routine and I don’t want to be in this position again. Another challenge is my folks are both in their late 70s and early 80s, both with underlying conditions, which puts them both in a very susceptible position. I don’t want to risk getting them sick, so I’ll continue to workout at home, and begin putting together a decent gym at my place.

Initially, I’ll start with a basic flat bench and some dumbbells. Then, I’ll move onto some bigger equipment like a squat rack, etc. Wish me luck.

In the comments, put down what you’ll be doing this week, to stay healthy and strong. I’d like to hear from you.

See you at the finish line!

Happy Monday, peeps!

This week’s routine will again be at home, because of the gym closures in our area. It appears we in the U.S. jumped the gun a little too quickly and are not facing some pretty big numbers of people getting the nasty bug running around. So now, many states are re-instituting lock downs in areas that are most affected.

This is the beauty of planning ahead. I developed a pretty decent workout routine with exercise bans and I am glad I 1) purchased them when I did and 2) use them on my workout days. It’s cool how a little bit of improvisation can eliminate the annoyance of not having a gym to go to right now.

On with the show!

Monday – Saturday – Full body circuits (3)

Full body circuit: Squats, Bridges, Ab crunches, Incline Chest Press, Triceps extensions, Bicep curls, Bent-over rows, Shoulder presses, and Calf presses. I try to do a set of 10 for each body part with no rest for the entire circuit, then rest and kick into the next circuit after about 2 minutes of hydration and resting.

I hope each of you are working out ways to continue your exercise routines, despite outside, uncontrollable circumstances.

See you at the finish line!
