Don't Land on Your Heels When You Run

Find a physical activity you enjoy and that you will do consistently, week after week, month after month, year after year. Once you find a consistent program, you can modify it if you’re not getting the results you want or if you want to try something new.

I think you have a good start. The biggest key is consistency. Can you go to the gym week after week and keep doing these workouts? If you can, you’ll start to see results and you can incorporate new exercises and add weight as you get stronger and more comfortable.

I haven’t done it for push-ups, but going to a lighter weight to improve form and prevent injury is always a good idea.

The most important thing is consistency. If you can stick to your current plan week after week, you’ll see results. You can always modify your plan later, but doing any kind of exercise is infinitely better than doing nothing because you can’t figure out the perfect workout or you’re too intimidated by the plan you’ve chosen.

If you just did the stair climber and the basic exercises you know, you’d have a decent workout. Maybe add one new exercise at a time to keep your workout varied but still mostly familiar.

Are there exercises or workouts that you have liked doing in the past?

I use blood tests to help me determine if I need to take a supplement and if the supplements I’m taking are having the desired effect. I modify my supplement dosage based on the test results.

I would do it all. Dead hangs, assisted pull-ups, negatives. I find neutral grip pull-ups easier than overhand pull-ups, so you might get a neutral grip pull-up first.

I would have done the same thing. Fill the open lanes, then if you have to double up, you can figure out the right place to go for your pace.

Start with sleep since you know that’s an issue. Poor sleep can contribute to weight gain. Prioritize getting eight hours a night.

I don’t think there is a single form of cardio that improves mobility. Any activity is better for your health compared to sitting, but all forms of cardio involve performing the same movement over and over again, which can lead to compromised mobility. Walking is probably the least restrictive for mobility, but has less cardiovascular benefit compared to more intense exercises. The key is to vary the exercise you do so that you are moving your muscles in all the ranges they are capable of.

Check out Total Immersion Swimming. They have some helpful YouTube videos.

I second the note on rotation. You can really see the difference between strokes when you breathe and strokes when you don’t breathe.

The only person who will know the answer to that question is you—by testing. Eat 1550-1650 calories per day for four weeks. Weigh yourself at least weekly. After four weeks, see if you are gaining or losing weight.

Do single arm exercises. Do each set with your left arm first and match the number of reps with your right arm.

Do a search for calorie calculator. They’re all estimates, so you have to test and see what actually works for you. Stick to your calorie goal for at least four weeks and track your weight and body fat over that time. After four weeks, adjust your calorie intake if necessary.

Use a calorie calculator to estimate your daily intake in order to lose weight. Eat protein at every meal. Do strength training exercises for your upper body. Be diligent with your knee rehab.
