I need help creating an exercise routine (read more)?


Okay I want to get fit - I'm very energetic and love exorcise so that's not the problem but I need help on what i can do..
I can work out all day but all I can really do Is ride a bike and walk (there's no gyms near me)
I need some suggestions

I commute by bike and its great exercise and a great way to get around but I also do upper body workouts without any equipment and for free. I typically stop at a park or a school (after hours) and use the playground equipment for chin-ups (some areas have adult outdoor equipment) either on a high bar or rings.

To this I add a variety of push-up like exercises (there are many variations to work slightly different muscles and to make it more challenging), sit-ups (ditto) and a lot of stretching. I usually do my push-ups and sit-ups on a slope to make it more challenging.

Sometimes its nice to go to a gym and use the equipment there (I did that for twenty years) but I find that my outdoor workout without equipment covers the major muscle groups and provides a good all around workout.

Swimming is a good addition if there is any body of water near you.

I do enough cycling and other leg intensive work that I don't really need to train my legs much but if you do want to, you can climb a mountain with a backpack (or if there are no mountains do step-ups on a chair or bench). Lunges are also a very good all around leg exercise that doesn't need equipment. Start with just your body weight and then either hold heavy things in your hands or use a backpack (water bottles make good weights)

There are literally hundreds of things you can do without equipment. Its a fallacy (supported by the billion dollar exercise industry) that you need equipment to exercise.
