For my prototype I made a list of workouts that I’m gonna do every day of the week. It’s hard without a gym, but there’s plenty to do without one, and I also have a pullup bar in my back yard which is huge for working out at home. One thing I’m going to keep doing is the armstrong pullup challenge (with some variation) which is 3 max sets of pushups when you wake up and then a pullup excercise later. This was developed for the Marine Corps physical fitness test to increase pullups, and I’ve been doing it for a while and gotten up to 23 pullups, which is tough when you run as many miles as I run in a week. I also wrote the strength workout I’ll be doing every day which is usually just generic stuff done with a band or light weights that I have here. Even though I don’t have access to a gym, I can still work every muscle group with the light dumbells I have or a stretch band or body weight excercises, even if I have to do a ridiculous number of sets. Usually I will do my running after working out and I wrote down what I’m gonna be doing for runs every day. Hopefully the weather is nicer this week than last week. This is a challenging workout routine but it is great for building mental toughness. If I can get through this, then I can come out on the other side of the week fitter and tougher.
