So, I moved recently..basically to the middle of NO WHERE. Closes gym to me is about 40min...which would be visable if I didnt have to commute 75min to work everyday as well as...get this..I accepted the swing shift schedule for a massive pay raise. Hours tho are killer when you add in my 2+ hour commute tho perday..every week my schedule changes. From 5am to 1pm one week to 1pm to 9pm the next then 9pm to 5am...every week a new shift.
So heres where my head is.. Never was big on lifting/health, Ive been kind of compfy at 6'1 155lbs, but over the last 6 months with the stress of work, commuting, personal problems I feel a need to find focus in my health routine, lifting, etc..
So knowing I was gonna be far from any available gyms to fit my time frame I ordered and set up (what I hope) is a viable option. Have a standard bench with barbell +100lbs of free weights to stick on it. Have 10, 15, 20lb dumbbells. Have a squat rack. Well, its basically 2 post that stand about 6ft high allowing me to place my barbell on them. Have a "Power Tower" which is basically for pullup/chinup as well as crunches. Have an elastic band to help with pullups (I can wreck chin ups but suck at pullups..weak bitch I know) Have foam mat I can use your core stuff as well as pushups. Have this push up thing with handles you place in color coded slots, supposedly to target different muscle groups while doing the pushups. Have an AB roller (buddy suggested this) And lastly a bench/adjustable seat to do incline/decline dumbell workouts.
Also set up a little area off to the side to do Yoga. Just a mat and a screen so I can pop on a Youtube vid to do it along too. I took Yoga for a little while but that too is way to continue and looks like I will be doing it at home.
The craziest thing also..I'm in the middle of no where no but oddly enough directly across the street from me is a Martial Arts/Kickboxing/Aerobic studio. Been debating on if I should join up with that also. $200 bucks for 6 weeks. Not sure if thats good plus Ive never even been in a fight and dont wanna get destroyed by little kids lol
So guide me brothers. What do my RP brethren recommend. What and how should I get started? Anything I need or suggestions? Any tips on working the crazy schedule I do and incorporating a healthy lifestyle (sleep/exercise/diet/etc..) from home?
Last 6 months everything has become kinda grey. I can feel myself kind of shriveling up..I see myself become for some reason insecure and "bitchy" with people...
