How to Build A Sustainable Workout Routine

Written August 23, 2024

Hello Dear Readers,

My wife suggested that I create my new exercise schedule. She told me it was not a good idea to train my muscles on the same part daily since I already have problems repairing my muscles. So, I came up with a new exercise routine last night.  

Split up the muscle training routines on different days. For now, I do once a week per section, but I want to include multiple types of exercise for each session. One of my biggest problems was that I got tired so quickly. I could manage to break my muscle fibers, but they don’t seem to repair as soon as they used to. Due to the restriction, I cannot eat enough protein to accommodate my exercise.

M – Pullups

T – Dips/Leg lifts

W – Pushups

R – Arms

F – Pullovers

It is not so bad, though. With arm exercises, for example, I can target several muscles. I could work on the Biceps, Triceps, and Brachialis muscles. I could also add the Coracobrachialis, Brachioradialis, and forearm muscles. 

I tried the exercise today and discovered that I could spend more time on muscle training. I think I’ve designed it to continue even after the lawn mowing starts. Since I don’t train daily, my muscles have enough time to repair. For now, I will do each section only once a week. I may change around when I have more muscles, but I think I am all right with this schedule. 

I keep my regular 5km or 10km running. Running gives me more energy, and I gain a lot more endurance from it. My wife was surprised at how much I gained endurance when we hiked in the ground canyon. Our house is on the hill, so mowing on our lawn can be challenging. I have enough endurance to complete the whole lawn because I have enough endurance to do so. That’s a solid 3 hours of mowing on the hill, which is not easy. 

I am excited about my new exercise routine. So far, I can train more muscles per section. I plan to add more exercise types to improve my muscles.
