Drink plenty water throughout the day.
Here's my physical routine that I go through.
Jump rope every night for about 10-15 minutes with a weighted speed rope. Jumping rope is really great and I highly recommend it, its easy on the knees and a fast way to get a good cardio workout.
Boxing on weekends, I own a heavy bag on a stand so its easy for me to do.
I have a hangboard located in my kitchen that whenever I pass under it I do a pullup or hold. I recommend Metolius hangboards.
Walk my dog 1 mile every other day or whenever she feels fit.
Mow the lawn, rake leaves, grow a garden, just make sure you break a sweat.
Yoga whenever I feel tight or knots.
Surfing in the mornings when I can for about an hour. If surfing isn't for you then swim, try to make your goal to swim 1 mile or 1600 meters in 30 or 45 minutes. Like jumping rope, swimming really easy on the body and great cardio.
The important thing is to keep moving, and keep changing it up.
This mish-mash of physically activity works for me because I can alter it around my programming time and free time with my family.

- deskamess 11y agoJumping rope is easy on the knees? I guess we don't get/need much elevation but I have been avoiding it thinking it could hurt knees (if on the heavy side).
- andredublin 11y agoThe best way is to do it how a boxer would on the toes one foot at a time. Eventually you build up your muscles and your bones become dense fast enough to perform more intense moves; high knees, double up etc.
- rada 11y agoI jump rope on two yoga mats, one on top of the other. I've done it without a couple times and noticed the very next day. FYI I am just over a 100 lbs but I also jump for 30-40 minutes, depending on the show I am watching.
