I need to get out of my desk chair more, but lately I’ve been trying to walk my neighborhood since the weather’s nice. What kinds of things do you do to stay active? I’d love some suggestions for good stretches and simple/effective exercises. Thanks!
Climbing! I’ve never been fond of weightlifting, but lifting myself up on the wall is way more fun! It’s incredibly physical, and there’s an equally important mental problem solving aspect to it. Most cities have a climbing gym these days and it’s a lot more approachable than most people think. Bouldering especially only needs shoes and maybe a chalk bag. Just short but hard climbs that are usually only a few challenging moves. No ropes or harnesses, just big squishy mats to land on. It can also be pretty social with most gyms having a good community, and if you really take to it there’s always room to grow into actual outdoor rock climbing.
Biking for commuting and errands is great as others have mentioned.
Running too. Just needs shoes and some comfy clothes. Even starting at a one km run doesn’t seem like much, but you’ll be surprised how much further you can go if you stick with it.
