| Posted: 05 May 2020 05:43 AM PDT So my grandpa is getting old and out of condition and he doesn't like that so he wants to get back in shape a little (as much as it's possible for a man of his age and health condicion). What are some exercises I could recommend him? Everything where he has to get on the ground are not really a fit because then he wouldn't get up on his own. Thanks a lot Edit: he isn't like extremly weak, he has always been very active (rowing competitively and golfing and walking 18 holes until like 5 years ago and then he started driving with a buggy or just walking 9 holes) and now he is taking a walk every morning with nordicwalking sticks. And he wants to get fitter because he notices how everything is getting harder and he is out of breath after a short walk and he doesn't like getting older. Thanks to everyone for the good suggestions! this is why I love Reddit [link] [comments] |
| Answer to the question of what are the best exercises for grandparents (for seniors) Posted: 05 May 2020 08:07 AM PDT I found a post here in r/bodyweightfitness a few hours ago with the question of what are the best exercises for grandparents (for seniors). My grandma is 73 and 2 weeks ago I found some good videos so my grandma now practices a lot. Here is a new video: https://youtu.be/dqJKKFXcJX8 It seems they deliver quite good content for 65+. They're from Australia I guess but have a small channel. I found it worth watching for seniors. At least my grandma is happy. p.s. Hi from Poland [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2020 09:18 AM PDT I've been doing workouts strictly using my body weight and dynamic movements, and I've got to say, I haven't ever looked this forward to working out every morning. And I'm already noticing more firmness around my waist and in my belly, as well as improved strength in my upper back, shoulders and arms. It's really refreshing to have moved past that mental block that I "can't work out because I don't have equipment or a home gym." Or that the only way I can see any changes in my body is through purchasing equipment. So excited to continue! And love having the motivation straight away in the morning. It's really helping my mind during this time. [link] [comments] |
| How do you stop itching during workouts? Posted: 05 May 2020 05:20 AM PDT It's seems that Everytime I have to do my workouts my hair itches uncontrollably and it's killing me because every couple of seconds I have to take breaks and ruin my burn. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2020 02:25 AM PDT For the last three weeks I'm having problems to fall asleep. I'm not sure what's the cause for it, because I'm doing exercises / workout and trying to keep being active even if I can't go out.This changed since Saturday though, now we are allowed to go out for some specific hours during the day and up till now I've been going out everyday for 30min to 1h to get some sun. I'm hoping this will fix my problem. In any case, for this last three weeks I'm mentioning, I've had a couple of nights of no sleep at all (48 hours awake, I didn't exercise these days for obvious reasons), a few nights of falling asleep at 6am (so sleeping 2 to 4 hours, depending if it was weekday or weekend) and a lot of nights of managing to fall asleep at about 3am (meaning sleeping 4 to 6 hours depending if it's weekdays or weekend). I think I managed to have a couple of nights of normal sleep (12.30 to 7.30). Now, I'm following the recommended routine (I started recently, before that I was doing weight lifting at home with dumbells and some bodyweight exercises, but I was getting bored and decided to give it a try to stick to only bodyweight exercises) and I'm following a diet to try to gain some weight (which seems to be working so far).But I'm wondering I've been wasting wasting my time for the last weeks due to the lack of proper sleep, or if I'm going to have any funny or nasty side effects (for example, because I'm eating a lot and I'm gainig weight, but not resting enough, my brain thinks that perhaps all I'm growing is fat instead of muscle). Should I have easier workouts or any adjustenments till I manage to recover my sleeping habits? Reduce food intake? Or keep doing as I'm doing? Any help, suggestions, etc are welcome. Thanks!!

| Posted: 05 May 2020 06:57 AM PDT Well Im coming here to ask you guys who have front lever or know about fl training. The thing is, i have recently unlocked fl after training for It for 3-4 months. I have 2-3 secs of fl aproximately, and i dont know how to focus my fl trainings now. I always include fl training with other kind of pull training, so i dont know if still including fl progressions like advanced stucked fl with fl or only train the fl (always with other pull exercises). Im in doubt since i dont feel like training only that 2 secs of fl series helps me improving It. What do you think about It? [link] [comments] |
| How can I deal with my post-injury weakness ? And how usefull is the pinky in grip strength ? Posted: 05 May 2020 02:43 AM PDT Hey reddit ! In december, I've had an accident that cost me half of my pinky and injured my fourth finger flexor on my right hand. I didn't workout for two month. I had physical therapy to regain all my range of motion on my fourth finger but it's still pretty stiff. Since march now I'm slowy coming back at it, but without my pull up bar or my rings, since I'm quarantined without them. I have some suspension band to practice my rows and I was quite hopefull to be able to do some pull ups when I'll have a pull up bar again. Back then I was started to feel good about my fitness level, I could do sets of 10 pull-ups on my good days. Yesterday, I stumbled accross a fitness park that wasn't closed and I tried to do some pull-ups... It was a huge fail, I did two but my fourth finger was killing me, and the scar of the amputation from my pinky were right on top of the bar so it was very unconfortable. After that even passive hangs seemed to much for me, I felt my left hand was supporting most of my weight. I felt so weak and so powerless because of my injury. And also a lot of guilt because I haven't been serious about my grip training. I guess I was in denial about the consequences of my injury on my fitness level, how serious my injury was and how permanently damaged my hand is. I now feel overwhelmed by the progress I'll have to do again to come back to normal - if that's even possible. So I'm coming here whoring some support and encouragements. And also advices : for the some of you who went through injuries, how did you manage being brought so far backward in your fitness level ? If the injury was permanent, how did you manage accepting being limited by your own body ? Plus another question : how important is the pinky in grip strengh ? I now lack a phalanx and I can't flex the second one. I'm wondering how that would limit / affect me in the longterm. Thanks everyone in advance for your answers and support and thanks in general for being an awesome source of fitness inspiration and motivation ! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2020 10:44 AM PDT How should I add reps? Whenever I feel I progressed with the movement or 1 rept per week/per 2 weeks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2020 09:16 AM PDT As the title says I want to install 2 gym rings on my garage. My garage has an open ceiling, you can see the joists and the structure holding the roof. The joists are 2x6 spaced at about a foot from each other. Reading online gave me mixed feelings about this as some people were suggesting this stuff is designed to support about 20psf of live and dead load combined and a person hanging on the joists might be too much. I'm a first year civil engineering student and i feel bad not being able to calculate and verify stuff like this on my own but i cannot find resistances for the 2x6 online so i figured i might ask here as I've seen plenty of knowledgeable answers in the past. I made a quick diagram of what the project is supposed to look like here: https://beamguru.com/beam/?save=e7bbd53ace8e04d9019e67533764ab46 The beam would be a 2x4 sitting perpendicularly on top of the joists, held in place by nails, spanning across 4 joists minimum, might go with a longer 2x4 to distribute over more joists if necessary. The supports are the joists and the load for a person weighing 100kg would be about 1kN distributed where the straps of the rings would be sitting. The joists are joined in the middle but a metal profile that has me worried so i would install the rings close to the wall with enough space from it to comfortably perform exercises. Thanks for the help in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Do I need rings (or other equipment) for Al Kavadlo's Universal Strength 30 Day program? Posted: 05 May 2020 11:59 AM PDT I kind of jumped into calisthenics a little while ago and immediately encountered pain, so I decided to go about it in a more guided fashion. I found Al Kavadlo's Universal Strength program and I was wondering if I need rings or any other equipment for it. I'm also open to suggestions for other regimented programs. [link] [comments] |
| Modified beginner routine for joint hypermobility Posted: 05 May 2020 11:16 AM PDT Long-time lurker here. I was wondering if we could put together a beginner routine for people with joint hypermobility. Some backstory. I ruptured my ACL last year during Karate training. Nothing too exotic, my ankle twisted and my whole body weight crashed onto my knee joint. During checkups, the doctor noted that I have hypermobile joints (ankles, knees, wrists, and shoulders). After the surgery, I was put on physio and after 6 months COVID 19 happened and I had to move my workouts home, which got me back to the beginner routine. I noticed that many of the exercises in the beginner routine are suboptimal for people with hypermobile joints (see 1 2 ) so I tried my best to keep the routine and replace the problematic parts. This is my current routine. The main exercises are practically omitted. Some without proper replacements (any suggestions?). Keep in mind that I am a novice when it comes to bodyweight exercises and I am looking forward to your feedback. I will update this post with your feedback with the hope to create a go-to place for all information about hypermobility. Dynamic Stretches
Bodyline Drills
Handstand training (bad idea?)
Squat Progression
Pushup Progression
Strength Exercises
Thanks in advance everyone! [link] [comments] |
| Scared of being upside down, in need of advice Posted: 05 May 2020 11:12 AM PDT So I've been working out for almost a year consistently, and a few years on and off. I've never really given much attention to skill work except for the muscle up which Im very close to doing clean. However I really wanna achieve the handstand, my only problem is that Im incredibly afraid of being upside down. Im 20yo, 6'2 and 180-185lbs. This has been a problem for as long as I've known. In highschool we had to do a lot of skills on rings and bars where we had to hang upside down. While I was more than physically capable to do most of the work, I always required help because I was scared to put myself into such a position. Even during my peak when I was training kickboxing and calisthenics 6 times a week I couldnt get myself to hold a simple headstand against the wall. Now this is like the 4th time Im trying to get to a handstand and Im very commited now. I was thinking of taking a week of 15mins everyday to just put my feet on the wall and try to be upside down to get more comfortable with the position. Anyone else have a similar problem? How did you deal with it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2020 10:45 AM PDT I'm 17 and weigh 137lbs . Since we are in quarantine & have this spare time. I wanna do workouts mainly to loss the stomach fat I have and build muscle. Only piece of equipment I really have are dumbbells(don't have access to any sort of pull-up bars). If someone can help me out with a workout routine and a diet I can get into that would be great.

| Posted: 05 May 2020 09:52 AM PDT Lately I have felt very bad, I have no motivation to continue exercising. Although I have lost 8 kilos and regained quite a bit of strength since my last episode of depression, I find no more motivation or desire to eat healthy. I have been with the RR for 1 month and a half and I feel it is very monotonous. Should I try another type of routine? Note: I keep practicing my English if there are errors, sorry.

| Pull-up progression without weight? Posted: 04 May 2020 05:15 PM PDT I'm about to start the Recommended Routine and was wondering if a modified one-arm pull-up using a resistance band would be a good replacement instead of weighted pull-ups. My current max is 20 pull-ups and I don't have a way (at the moment) to add weight to my pull-ups to keep progressing in strength. I'm planning to do an exercise where you hold a resistance band with one hand and the pull-up bar with the other. As you come up, the arm holding the resistance band extends down as you pull into the pull-up bar with the other arm. I can do 5 reps with good form on each side and once I reach 8 I'm going to move my grip farther down the resistance band and then follow the same progression until I no longer need the resistance band at all. I've seen this exercise used as a progression to achieving one arm pull-ups, and was wondering if it was suitable as a replacement for weighted pull-ups in terms of building general pulling strength. Any thoughts or suggestions for this exercise? [link] [comments] |
