Matumba Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Dear friends A few weeks ago I started doing wall pushups (Im not fat by any means, but really weak for 1.9m) and planks (because I can't do sit ups yet) and also an exercise for the neck where you lay on a bench with your head hanging in the air and you move your head up and down. I'm beginning to see progress, I can do 'girl pushups' now (haha, what a success ^^), I'm feeling much better overall and I can't wait to work out again when I'm on a rest day. But as you see my workout is rather small, Internet is full with workout stuff, but much of it is only 'hey, look at this exercise. If you want more, pay 50 bucks for the whole course', or just painful if you've not reached a certain level of fitness . I therefore come to ask you for help, where do I find a good workout plan that does not involve dumbbells or other tools (I have them, but I found that I hurt myself even with the 3kg ones. Maybe later when I've levelled up) and is easy on the joints? I don't need to burn fat, im very skinny, just want to get fit. Thank you very much and greetings from Zimbabwe Matumba 1 Quote Link to comment
Nomad Jay Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Our illustrious leader, Steve, has a good beginner bodyweight program that scales nicely. Go to the main NerdFitness page and scroll down to the Angry Birds work-out. 1 Quote "If you would improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." - Epictetus "You just gotta listen to your body, unless it's saying anything about stopping, pain, your joints, or needing water."

Anim07734 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Seconding the NF blog for workouts. If you're interested in bodyweight stuff, StartBodyweight also has a good progression. 1 Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option.

Mander Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 When I first started training I followed SL5x5 and found the simplicity and rather short sessions to be easy to learn and stick to. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 DareBee has some good programs and workouts, and it's all free. Their Foundation Light program might be a good place to start. Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
Ghost Chant X Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 The beginner bodyweight circuit Steve posted on the blog was a good starting place for me many moons ago. 1 Quote Link to comment
Wobbegong Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I saw this posted on the forum in another thread somewhere... I forgot who shared it. (Thank you and my apologies! I would credit you if I had better memory!) You should be able to google "[exercise name] progression" for just about anything and find some tools for that. If you can't do a movement or an exercise yet, don't force it. There are always other things you can do. Quote Link to comment
