ITT, your workout routine.

As for me, I do some short exercise every evening right before or after brushing my teeth. It helps me to make a habit of it.
I only do bodyweight exercises, mainly because those are the most convenient. I do 30 push-ups on the knuckles first, in one go. And then I do 15 leg lifts, working from 5 down (so first five lifts, a few seconds of rest, then four, then three, then two, and so on).
I used to do more leg lifts, but then I got massive stomach aches for the next few days, so I'm being a bit more careful about that now. Still trying to find out what would be best.

Feel free to criticise my schedule (in fact I encourage you to do so), but know that I have no pretence of being an internet tuff guy.

how do you do leg lifts w/o equipment?

I just lay on my back, hold the legs of a chair with my hands ("above" my head), and then lift my legs up to a quasi-90 degree angle. Then I lower them to a point where they just don't touch the ground, and repeat.

I'm pretty sure the chair isn't indispensable either, in fact.

i do calisthenics only after years of doing powerlifting because i find it easier on the joints and better for propreoception and joint stability.

I do all of my exercises on a bosu ball

I do one set of the exercises and cycle 2-3 times and focus on balance and stability rather than reps. I only do resistence training twice a week and split it up between upper body/core and lower body/core

-Pushups
-bicep curls
-YTWL (for shoulder stability, look them up, they are great for non rehab shoulder work)
-overhead press with resistance band tucked underneath bosu ball
- crunches
- oblique twists
- leg raises


-body weight squats
- lunges
- hip raises
- calf raises
- squat with resistance band
- deadlift with resistance band
- sit ups
- supermans
- bicycle crunches

i try to keep reps down to 12 and use weighted vests/25 pounds plates/ankle weights/resistence bands to add resistance.
