@nazkid I was doing a bunch of pull ups like that back in 2009/2010. Starting in 2011, I started letting myself go BIG TIME. Did things here and there to try to maintain, but the laziness, meeting & marrying my wife, becoming a father, changing jobs three times, changing my entire career path, a...

@nazkid I agree that, in some cases, those exercises you list can be very useful in daily life. I used to be able to do 15-20+ pull ups a few times a day. Now, I can’t do one. Any suggestions on developing those muscles? Any resources for general calisthenics routines?

@tonyangiano Thanks for the detailed advice. Would this be done as supersets or one exercise, then another, etc.? And, as for time between sets, would that be determined by my own comfort or would you recommend a specific amount of time?

@amn I’ll definitely look into that. Thank you!

@mph Haven’t ever heard of a Turkish get up. Sounds like fun. Is there a particular routine you follow?

@_%D7%A1%D7%AA Will do. Thanks for the tip!

@kowalski1 I like that plan you lay out at the end. Any suggestions on specific routines, etc. that can help with the three goals you mention?

@mojo487 Kettlebells seem like a great investment as you’re one of many to suggest those. Any particular routine(s) or site(s) you recommend?

@questioner1 Definitely interested. I’ll check it out. Last question - when you say “hard cardio,” are you referring to HIIT?

@questioner1 Any particular stretching or bodyweight routines? Are there mobility exercises you find work better than others?

@knofsinger1992 Any you’d recommend? I know strength training is important, but I’d like to be just as flexible and mobile as I am strong.

@doctoroliver83 Wow. Loads of good stuff. Dan John is on the Art of Manliness podcast quite a bit. He’s always an interesting listen. I can’t do a single pull up and tried his method of hanging and negatives. Didn’t really help with pull ups, but I did feel stronger.

@bryangonz GMB elements? Is that the name of the program? Those are the types of exercises I’d like to do on “off” days or active rest days.

@chrisfx Will do. Thanks!

@life84 I have, but haven’t done too much. Doing one of the 20 minute routines actually helped me get back into lifting weights.

@questioner1 This sounds like pretty much what I’m after. Mind sharing your routine/program?

@exabus2 One of my biggest problems is exactly what you’re talking about - I do nothing for a long time, then jump back in full bore and end up hurt or (usually) sick. This is great advice all around. Thank you!

@mandapanda I started this yesterday and I’ve already lost 20 pounds. The food in the county lock up isn’t great, but I think that’s only helping my cause. Thank you for helping me start this journey.

@rugrat Burpees are the devil. But, I know they’re a great workout. I feel like they’re a great exercise for the, “It gets easier, but you have to do it everyday” mindset. Thanks!

Like the title says, as. 41 year old, I want to make sure I’m strong and able for as long as possible. Up until about a year ago, I had let myself go, but I’ve gotten back into fitness since around 9-12 months ago. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about long term goals and my main goals are...
