When I went to college, I did a lot of physical activity. It was nothing extraordinary, but I easily cycled 12 km per day. None of this has been happening since March and my body is feeling it. I have tried all the videos that I came across on the internet but I'm not constant.
A few days ago I bought a jump rope in hopes of trying again. In the hope that my inner child remembers it and can sustain it in time.
Soon I will go to the thread of What is the dumbest way you've been injured? and I'll talk about the news. LOL

A bunch of thru-hiker stuff has been showing up on my youtube recommendations. Around the start of quarantine I bought a PCT poster to inspire me to keep fitand just pretending that my chronic health issues won't get in the way, but it's kind of blended into my surroundings since the apartment switch, so I'm glad to have the extra dose of something. Still struggling to get moving every day, lately. I haven't kept up with the yoga I started at all, hard to find myself in the right headspace. Been trying to start up some body-weighted strength training, but of course I chose the week that it's 80+ in my apartment so mostly I'm just flopping over.
My routine kind of varies for each day. So let me break it down for you. Here is what I do daily:
1) 30 minute walk
2) 1m20s plank twice in a row.
3) 40 pushups
Now for the part that changes. Everyday I alternate the exercise to change it up:
1) Weight lifting. I don't have very heavy weights at home. Just a really simple workout really. I grab some 15 lb dumbbells and do bicep curls, tricep extensions, and shoulder presses.
2) Jogging and high knees.
3) When getting sick of jogging and high knees and I want to combine cardio with strength, I practice some shadow boxing and kicks. I don't do MMA or amateur boxing. It is just something I decided on. Though, I do have an interest in combat sports. I do jabs, straights, hooks, and uppercuts. I am working on my left hook. It feels quite unnatural to throw right now. I can jab with both hands. Uppercuts feel more natural with the right, but that's not to saythat I can't throw with my left.
