You should train hard at least for 1 hour, at least 3x/week. Find a sport that you like and that trains the whole body (swimming, kickboxing, weight lifting etc). I've done all 3 in different periods and currently do weight-lifting (might resume kickoxing too).
Walking and counting steps is not training, is kinda like crawling or barely surviving. You should talk about walking & steps only when you're 80 or something.
- simon_000666 4y agox3 hours a week + travel time is infeasible given other commitments. I have approx 50 mins per day available.
- ddorian43 4y agoCome on man, you can't have such a busy life. You have to cut somewhere for your own sanity. What about weekend? Use Saturday & Sunday and Wednesday? > I have approx 50 mins per day available. Build a minimal home gym and train hard? It's important to train hard for 1 hour or more, not just do 10K steps.
- simon_000666 4y agokids, literally make your life that busy. Home gym would be ideal - unfortunately space is the issue there, I have about 1.5m2 available.
- imdsm 4y agoLots of people don't realise just how much time kids take up, especially as single parents, and in the UK, how much space is at a premium. Cupboards are a luxury, let alone space for home gyms.
- barry-cotter 4y agoI have kids. I don’t eat lunch and use the lunch hour for exercise during the week. Even 20 minutes a day pays dividends if you run or lift weights.
- chrisseaton 4y agoYou said yourself - it’s starting to impact your health. And it will get worse not better. You have to make time for it. You’d make time to get a cancer treated - make time to exercise to preserve your health while you can, or there’s no point in those other commitments.
