What Exercise Program are you Doing for the Fall?

I somehow ended up on Jump-Rope TikTok. So I picked up a new beaded jump-rope over the weekend. The woman I watch does an hour day. My first day = four minutes.

Why is this so much harder as an adult than when I was a kid? #WorkoutGoals

Ahhh...winter.
Well, i am 63 and heat with wood.
The wood is stored in a woodshed.
Each day, i have to bring in, through whatever snow has fallen, enough wood for the day. Sometimes, i burn more than others and two loads are needed.
For me, i find it to be more than enough excersize.

I have a 5K on thanksgiving to train for 😅

And I really want to add weights to my workouts but it’s kind of intimidating lol

@summersong I do several 5k charity races every year. Usually finish in like 31-32 minutes .

summersong · F

@AthrillatheHunt haha I’m slow af so I’m closer to 40 minutes. Could probably walk faster than I run lol

@summersong my town does a Turkey trot also on thanksgiving day .
I did it a few times but not this year .

Everything physical gets harder after a certain age 😕 I'm doing online yoga with my 11 yo niece and she's already better than me, damn her 😞

I used to jump rope and I would start with three sets of five minutes and then add a set each time until I reached ten sets and then I'd add two minutes until I reached ten sets until I could go thirty minutes without stopping and after that I would use the thirty minutes jump rope as a warm up before lifting heavy weights. But I haven't jumped roped in years either but it's probably one of the best ways to warm-up your whole body.

@Lostpoet Thanks! That's inspiring. I probably would have done more sets, but I had to start work. I will probably try another 5 minute set over break.

Splitting and stacking firewood.

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@redredred Nice. You have a fireplace?

redredred · M

@ShadowSister Woodstove. It almost heats the whole house

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@redredred Nice! I bet that's cozy in the wintertime.

@AbbySvenz Wow! Do you have formal training?

AbbySvenz · F

I guess you could call it that..? It’s at a local studio and my parents pay them, so…… 🤷‍♀️ @ShadowSister

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@AbbySvenz Very cool!

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

I did a mini triathlon last weekend I spent all summer training for .
It’s officially my off season.. lol
I’ll probably keep surfing till thanksgiving though

Weights in the gym, though I will row tomorrow as well since I am lacking cardio after I stopped playing futsal

TBone · M

I use my local gym year around. I enjoy my workouts. Plus, my medical plan pays my membership. Very cool!

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@TBone Can't beat that!

Not a boob friendly exercise for me ! I do my kick boxing work out along with my push-ups and sit ups

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@TexChik I was worried about too much boob bouncitation lol. But my bra seemed to do okay for me this morning. Otherwise I have a good sports bra that I know will keep the girls in line.

I have a friend who did a lot of kick boxing. Sounds fun but totally not my thing. Have fun!
