[quote=Anonymous]After 40ish years, I’ve learned that for my own success (meaning, keep doing it) I need to 1) keep it simple and 2) not go to a gym.

For cardio:

Mid spring through whatever temp I can stand it in the fall I walk briskly for an hour, 4 - 5 times a week, in the morning.  I usually listen to audiobooks during this time, or a podcast.  Sometimes, maybe 1-2 times a week I use my kickbike instead of walking.

The rest of the year I use an elliptical at home.  I probably get more cardio workout with the elliptical, but I feel like walking is probably also helpful because of the fresh air.

For strength:

After the cardio, every other day I have a routine of abs, back, butt, leg and arm workouts.  I bought weights at home.

For flexibility and general stretching:

At night I do a few quick stretches before bed.  A few times a week I follow along with an instructor on Amazon or Netflix.  I get impatient though because it eats into a lot of time.

Sometimes I bike with the kids on the weekend, but that is really just for fun, to go get ice cream or to a favorite spot they like.  I also swim a little bit in the summer, but it’s sort of random and I don’t really consider it part of my routine.
