Working Out Without a Gym for 3 Months - Lessons Learned - 031
•
Paul Tomko
In episode 31 of the Anti-Aging Lifestyle I give a rundown of the 5 biggest takeaways I have had from working out at home over the last 3 months.
Some highlights from the episode:
Gym Scene Redefined: As gyms reopen, the scene is much different from what it was just a few months ago. Social distancing, face coverings, temp screenings, and sanitation practices are the new norm.
Unclear Danger: It’s been hard trying to figure out the real threat of the coronavirus. The news reports and coverage has not been helping. Learning about the CDC guidance for counting deaths has not been reassuring.
Top 5 Lessons I Learned Working out From Home
Muscle Maintenance: Your hard earned muscles won’t just disappear. As long as you’re consistent with your workouts, bodyweight and simple exercises do a great job of maintaining your muscle mass and conditioning.
Caloric Burn: I needed to cut my calories dramatically, 30-40% less than normal, to prevent excess body fat gain while staying at home. Shorter, less intense workouts, coupled with much less overall physical activity means much less calories being burned.
Shorter Workouts: My workouts went from 60-90 minutes down to 30-45 mins. A reminder than what I’m short on time in the future, I don’t always need a huge block of time to workout.
Gym Appreciation: I have a newfound appreciation for the convenience of a gym and all of the equipment we normally take for granted. It makes working out easier, more fun, and safer. It allows those with limited mobility to maintain their fitness.
Home Gyms: While going to the gym has many social benefits, working out at home with a home gym is also really nice. No commute, fresh air, no need for headphones. If you have proper equipment, working at from home can be a great option.
I finish the episode with Tomko Tip #31 where I discuss why it’s so important to be flexible with your approach to your goals. The ability to pivot to a new, better approach, can optimize your chances of achieving your goal.
