For the longest while, I used to work out out and about my neighborhood, doing push-ups, sit-ups and what-have-you at playgrounds and parks.
Recently, I’ve acquired a gym membership and now work-out every other day. I exercise chest, triceps, and calves one day, and back, biceps, and forearms the other. For each region, I do 5 sets of 12 reps, and sometimes more depending on how fatigued I am.
As for any suggestions, I find that locking my entire body in flex yields the best results while doing triceps, as it facilitates a situation wherein only they’re being exercised.
Aside from that, I’m not quite sure what I’d have to say that hasn’t already been said a million times over. Do your exercises slowly and attentively to feel your muscles flex and contract, as doing so provides a better quality workout.
And most important of all: never skip a day.
I do a nifty little routine I found online called the Daredevil workout. Twenty climbers, ten push ups, twenty punches, twenty squats, ten shoulder taps, another twenty punches, twenty side kicks, ten wide grip push ups and round it off with another twenty punches. I do three sets right now, though I will do more in the future. I’d only recommend it if you have access to a punching bag.
Unfortunately, due to this weird shoulder issue I have, wherein it pops in and out of it’s socket under certain conditions, I can hardly do any pushups.
Strange, I know. It’s a real pain in the ■■■. Sometimes when I’m doing bench-presses it will either lock in or pop out of its socket, which can be pretty troublesome.
Though yeah, my main source of workouts is power walking. At the moment its mostly doing a lot of that in order to get thinner before i join a gym or start trying to get more muscly/toned again.
