It’s been a while since I decided to invest in my body.

Usually I focus my workout where I think I am lacking some strength.

For abs and core strength, I have done somewhat this workout and I think I will stick to it, every two-three days I will do:

  • 7 leg raises

  • 20 sit ups

  • 20 russian twists

  • 40 s plank

  • cobra stretch

I run at weekends so I will skip leg day and as I skate quite a bit as well will try to manage the previous workout with it.

The problem is the arms workout as my wirsts are weak AF since I broke them ( yeah… guys wear your wrists guards ), so I usually crumble doing push ups, what would you guys propose as workout not only to build my arms, but too slowly build up my wrists.

Other problem that I want to work on is flexibility overall I am good but as I get older the more and more I notice my joints are getting quite rusty.

    Haha I think a side effect of watching action movies and Dragon Ball Z as a kid just made me want to understand training and physical improvement early on, seeing capable characters survive dangerous situations that I knew I wouldn’t be able to as a gangly kid. I was constantly absorbing what I could, from high school sports, free year of personal trainer at the gym, college weight lifting and nutrition electives, martial arts instructors, military, etc., and all the constantly emerging studies that suggest new information or disprove old ideas.

    I know what it’s like to fight for a comeback after dealing with medical issues and injuries and had to do a lot of research and consulting with experts to do so. It’s the kind of thing I need to pay forward since I’ve been there and wouldn’t be improving again without help!

    One note is I realized I accidentally listed Congdon Curls as potentially dangerous in my response, but I meant to list Crouching Cohen Curls. Congdon Curls are generally fine but pay close attention to your back on the hammer down motion – if it feels like it’s straining your back instead of your biceps then readjust your stance and lower the weight, or cut them out of your routine if that doesn’t work.
