What's Your One Indispensable Exercise

[tjhunt2]

Now that I'm retired and a total wreck in terms of being in any kind of shape I'm heading for a nearby gym tomorrow morning. My Medicare says I have a Silversneaker plan benefit where it will pay for a membership. If I am to continue to do the things I love I better get my fat butt in gear or my hunting and fishing days are about over. Thanks for motivating me Mr. Healy.

I bought a used gym quality elliptical treadmill a few years ago. It is nice because I can program it to simulate climbing up and down mountains. Cardio and leg muscle.

mountain biking! I have done it for years and still continue to. Great cardio and endurance training

[AzPlumber]

Golf (without a cart)

Silly one word answer, but it truly is indispensable. Nothing has made my heart beat like a tough hunt, and all of what goes into it is one of my forms of exercise when I talk to the Doc.

Toss up between lap swimming and hiking with weighted pack. More than likely hiking with pack then swim then running. I have committed to doing a triathlon in late July so I have been doing a tri workout each week, 30 min swim, 30 min bike, 30 min run all at the gym.

I always wanted to do a tri but dont like to run.

I lifted for 18 years straight. I haven't lifted in 22 months, I just fish and place cameras and hunt now lol

HIIT workouts in general...

Pull-ups or Power Cleans

Jump rope. Less stress on your body than running, keeps your core strong, works on coordination, cheap, and portable.

 

In my teens and early 20s I couldn't get a cheater six pack even when I was running a 4:32 mile and a 2:02 800. Within 4 months of jumping rope in my late 20's the six pack is coming in and my cardio is killer.

12 miles, 3 hours 55lbs pack.
