I find it ridiculously hard to stick to various exercise regimes I create for myself, I don’t mean I am lazy, I am always doing exercise, just some times at the gym, sometimes at home, sometimes with weights sometimes just bodyweight, etc always chopping and changing, I am yet to find something that fits with my work (postgraduate research) and social life, so I am always trying out new ideas.
What I wanted to ask was, I went through a phase of trying to put on some weight, and I am now at a weight I feel happy and am comfortable with (bout 5’11/6ft and 12-12.4 stone). So I am not worried about “bulking up” what I am after is not loosing weight, but improving muscle tone and general strength.
I am starting to think about going for an a little and often attempt, rather than less frequent heavy workouts, as I find the latter really hard to keep consistent. At the base of my routine will be press ups, pull ups, and sit ups. Sometimes if I have time I might supplement this triad with dumbbells.
If I do this everyday, say in the morning for 20mins, and sleep well, keep up the calories and the odd the protein shake, do think this will help me achieve my goals? ( improving muscle tone and general strength)
After two or three years of trying to get big, I am now realizing that I want to devote more time to kung fu rather than lengthy workouts.
Any comments will be much appreciated,
