I'm happy with my software career at the moment and I think I'm on a pretty good "auto-pilot" for progressing. I want to focus on my physical health this year.
I'm about six months in of consistent weight training and it's been fantastic. I look better and I'm noticeably stronger. I want to continue my 30-45 minute, 4 day per week workouts through this next year.
The big addition that I've struggled with the most is increased cardio. My family has a history of heart issues (although I think a lot of that can be attributed to diet), and I'm definitely not the most cardio proficient individual. I'm not looking to lose weight, so eating enough will also be part of the challenge.
I'd just like to have better stamina, so it seems like regular cardio (maybe 3-4 times per week for 20-30 minutes) at a moderate to high intensity will allow me to do that.
It'll suck, especially here in the North East winters, but I'm hoping my cheap exercise bike can do me some good.
Life is pretty good right now as a young and single guy. I just want to make sure I get to live it in a healthy way for as long as I can now and hopefully get to share it with friends and family.
- bilsbie 2y agoTry pickleball for cardio. So much fun you don’t even notice.
- clircle 2y agoI bought a rowing machine and just toss on some game of thrones and row for 35 mins. Good way to start the day.
- patrickhogan1 2y ago2 recommendations for cardio 1. Play a sport like basketball - join a league. You will run and not even notice 2. Workout outside if nice. Or in winter open a window to let fresh air in. A lot of people get stuffy and tired inside working out bc the carbon level in the room will build up.
