How do you stay fit these days? ๐ŸฅŠ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธโ›น๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฅ‹๐Ÿ’ฏ

For developers, staying fit is as important as learning new skills in the market. Because most of our days we spend sitting at a table, staring at a screen. Though I tried my best to work out regularly sometimes life throws things at you that you can never predict and have to stop. But you can always start again. These days are good, as I'm back to my routine and working out, so I thought why not ask you all, how do you folks stay fit?

I'm personally into weight lifting and do running occasionally.

So How do you stay fit I'm curious. Tell me your fitness mantra in the comment section below.

and and and ...

If you don't, check this article to keep your eyes healthy, this for your brain or check out this Open Source app we created to Workout while working "Brogrammers". Trust me you will ๐Ÿ’œ it.

Thanks, see you next week.

If my dog didn't have to walk around the neighborhood twice a day I'd barely leave my desk chair. ๐Ÿ˜„ He's the only reason I haven't gained 20 pounds this past year.

I was a gym person in past, but due to coronavirus, I had to find out the different ways how to stay fit and release some steam. For me, walking around works great. I have advantage of a great area 100m from my house where I can walk on fields, woods and be alone for a while

I do exercise in the morning every day.
5 rep of push up and 100 for sit up at.
and at least 30 min for cardio (sometimes I run, sometimes I cycling and do body project youtube.com/results?search_query=b...)
I have been doing this for more than 3 years.
Due to the first year, I'm working as a developer I had never do the workout until I got influenza.
That situation teaches me, working out is an important task to do.

As a developer, I like to work out in the morning not after work.
After work, I personally keep continiue doing a long task and I don't want to stop it (Deep work).

Shadow boxing workouts (YT Sean Fagan) and when I warmed up enough body weight exercises (YT Mark Lauren) or resistant bands (YT Undersun Fitness). About three times a week. The YT Channels are good starting points but you better get good literature.

Iโ€™ve never been super athletic, so this is something that has always been difficult for me (luckily I have a rather crazy metabolism that means Iโ€™m super skinny instead of overweight, but thatโ€™s not much consolation).

My current routine consists of two 1km power walks (Iโ€™m building up to jogging the loop I usually do instead, but not quite there yet) and some basic aerobics (squats/push-ups/sit-ups, etc). Iโ€™ve considered starting tai chi again (the various taolu sequences are actually a remarkably good workout if you do them right, even though you are moving rather slowly), though I still have to convince myself as I would have to make the space to do it.
