I have not taken my bike out the garage for ages, will have to do that. 20 minutes 3-4 times a week plus walking the dog should meet my exercise needs. I will NEVER be an exercise fiend. Might walk the Torrens Linear Park once more (in 6-7Km stages, 12–14Km walks out and back) assuming the bitch (my terrier bitch
) is up for it, getting on for 12 now.
Heh, I remember after my hip replacement operation, being told I need to exercise, took dog to TLP starting at Henley Beach, did 6Km each way and felt good. Some days later intending to do the second stage—didn’t get very far at all, 1Km I think or even less
but after that I was good, 6-7Km each way again.
Hmmm need to get some more Caltrate+VitD tablets, will do the 2Km walk to Chemist Warehouse and back today. (I was diagnosed with a slight osteoporosis problem. Were it not for walking it would be a much more serious problem I reckon!)
I find free weights very good.
Very light ones, move them slowly with focus on form.
Dumbells about 3 kgs in total. Light gloves are good. You will not do any injury with moving 3kgs slowly.
I studied body building a while ago. Free weights are very good, light ones with a focus on form are the beginning stages.
With poor form injuries will come. With a heavy weight you cannot maintain good form.
If you can do 8 actions with good form, slowly, breathing, squeeze muscle at the contraction, you'll be mentally focused.
The endorphins are all yours.
