Feel free to share more links or vids

We have mini gym at our home in the basement. So i do everything. Push ups, Pull ups, running, Abs, Back and legs. I have a person trainer so she sent me a video workouts that i follow.

I exercised maybe 3 or 4 times in the past couple of weeks. I don’t feel like exercising.
I’d done yoga, boxing and strengthning exercises. My coach friend keeps pushing me to exercise daily and keeps sending videos and stuff suitable for me and yesterday I sort of told her off for wanting me to exercise :bummer:

No I can only hold the PLANK for 45 seconds…:bummer: so I combine my Workouts with Outdoor Walks and Swimming 20 minutes Each… much easier that way!..:smiley:

Isolation mai kaunsi swimming? Indoor pool?

I like to follow routines by fitness trainers rather than using our mini home gym. During the last couple days though, I ended up using the treadmill just to switch things up.

Not exercising at home. Today I was feeling some pain in legs. Usually I have to walk on the way to work and back, also take stairs often but at home no exercise.

**OK! Miss 4 minute Plank me Impressed…but your comment on Isolation reminds me of a Sardar Ji Joke!

You see this very well to Do Sardar Ji liked to swim…When He built a Mansion for himself he Put Three swimming Pools in it!

Well his Freinds Asked What is Going ON here Three Pools for What???

He replied Hey this one is with Hot Water for Cold Weather swimming!

And this one is with Cold Water to swimm in Hot Summer Days!

The Third Pool was totally Empty! they asked what is this for has NO WATER???

He replied Kaday Nahin vi dil karda Nahaan nu! This is for when I do NOT WANT TO SWIM**…:biggthumb:

Yo Obama!..i can only plank for 5 mins max..i literally started with 30 seconds..haha..but now i can hold on to it for 5 mins straight. Some of the other excersie that i do is Burpees. About 3 sets..15reps each time.
Boy o boy..gets ya sweating like crazy. Then i do abs and oblique workout at home.

Wow! 5 minutes:hayaa:

haha..ya..but like i said..i started with 30 seconds. My coach used to put 10lb weight on my back while doing plank..honestly it is tough. I couldn't hold that more than 3 minutes..lol.

Beautiful place!! I’ll sit on the side and watch you all :stuck_out_tongue:

This link has a unique tip that I havent read anywhere else yet

Gyms are closed nationwide — and may not reopen for months — as the coronavirus pandemic steamrolls into towns. Amazon’s shipment dates on free weights are a month long, not to mention the prices are astronomical as demand surges with people working out from home.

Don’t be discouraged though, there are still great ways to stay healthy. And keeping your immune system in tip top shape is more critical than ever before if one wants to ward off the deadly coronavirus (though nothing could truly contain in). The CEO of privately held health club Life Time Fitness, Bahram Akradi, tells Yahoo Finance health must be one of your key focuses right now — as important as finding a camera to make Zoom video calls for work from a home office.

https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/UX75z6XWj.orAtoZab8wwg--~A/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjtzbT0xO3c9ODAw/https://media-mbst-pub-ue1.s3.amazonaws.com/creatr-images/2020-03/e633e890-6ebc-11ea-9e5f-f6222f4579e6

“As for advice I have right now, it’s to do at least 20 to 30 minutes of moderate exercise. That helps your immune system. Also eat healthy and stay away from packaged foods, and** stay away from anything that causes inflammation. Inflammation is the enemy**,” Akradi said on Yahoo Finance’s The First Trade.

So that means no cans of Coca-Cola and Hershey chocolate — rather more water and salads. Sucks, but it has to be done amidst this pandemic.

I dont have any kinda gym equip so when this whole isolation thingy began I started with the basic routine:

I set my baseline as :

10x pushups
10x situps
10x squat

2 reps of each activity both morning and evening so that makes 4 rep in a day.

and then few days I threw 25x (2 reps) jumping jack and 1 min (2 rep) plank both morn & eve so that makes 4 reps each again.

The good part is that in between I had rozas of sha'ban and I stick with this rouitne.

As of today my stretching workout is:

30 Jumping jacks (2 reps)
18 pushups (2 reps)
12x forward lunge each leg
12x backward lunge each leg
20 squat (2 rep)
25 situps (2 rep)
1 min 40 sec plank (2 rep)
12 sideways squat (each side)

I repeat same set both morn and eve. Hoping to stick with it

I've been struggling to keep up with the same amount of stretch exercises during Roza. I do get all the morning reps done but in evening when I've to do it twice, I do it once in the eve and then run out of energy to do the 2nd rep.

So overall, I'm doing 3 reps instead of 4 of the routine I posted earlier.

But on the flip side I'm going out to run outside on alternate days, roughly 4 miles in evening before Iftar

I used to do breathing exercises for stress relief. Perhaps I should start doing them again!
