... at minimum.

Feels good man.

Ask me anything.

Nice. No questions. I try to do something similar, but it involves more free weights, fewer push ups, more sit ups, fewer squats, way more pull ups, and slightly less running. Also, I take the weekends off. So...really not like that at all.

Sounds good my man. Stay swole.

If I may recommend, replace the sit-ups with crunches and maybe don’t run every day unless you have awesome joints. Would doing squats AND running every day just be a bit punishing on your legs?

You know what, I don’t know shit, so maybe don’t listen to me on stuff like exercise.

Running is definitely tough on the joints, and age is not helping...I have to wear a knee brace.

I've run almost every day for 24 years.

Running doesn't guarantee injury or long-term problems but they can strike. It's all determined by a whole cluster of factors. Mileage, shoewear, form, diet, cross-training, whatever.

Excluding the running, I've always been interested in body weight exercises and such. I'd like to get into it, but the problem is always with build up- how do you know when you are ready to move to higher rep counts? I can consistently get 45 sit-ups, around 30 push-ups (but then my elbows start popping and I get nervous), and I can do like... 5 pull ups. Squats are probably 60+, but I don't do them very often.

Seems to have worked for this dude in Singapore!

The only exercise I do is Dance Dance Revolution. I am perhaps not in great shape...

Not every morning but most week days, I do 75 push ups, 50 sit-ups, 100 bicycle crunches, 50 side leg lifts on each side, 50 side sit-ups on each side, 25 squats. I used to do a bunch of chin ups and pull ups but deemphasized them because the bar I used was damaging the door frame.

I've always hated cardio, so I am trying to incorporate shadow boxing as an offset.

But hell, even if you do nothing, doing some stretching can be highly beneficial. I stretch every morning, and it's a great way to wake up.

I usually do a mix of free weights and some lighter cardio. I'm just getting back into the routine after resting a minor back injury for almost three months.
