So used to be in super good shape long ago; lifting, running, mma, jap ju-jitsu, and hiking.

Working on getting back into shape now (31 y/o) thinking I want to trim down and focus mainly cardio and two days of lifting. No money for MMA type training at moment.

Looking to be in shape in event of civil war, shit hit the fan scenario, getting jumped, etc (serious). Just looking to see if anyone has tips, motivational videos, books, etc.

Also what do you do? I think fitness is really important especially in these crazy times.

In the morning after my cup of coffee I stretch, do 3 sets of push ups, one set of crunches, then I hop on the treadmill for thirty minutes while carrying 8lb dumbbells while watching videos or listening to music. In the afternoon I stretch, do one long set of push-ups, a set of sit-ups then I do weight lifting for 30 minutes. I have a little chalk board to update my progress. Every three days I add one push-up to my three sets. I add one rep to my weight lifting going from 8-8-8 to 12-12-12. When I hit twelves I drop back to eight but increase all my weights by 5lbs. It’s slow progress but pleasant and I enjoy it. I only walk on the treadmill, I injured my knee and the Sports Doc said only walk from now on, no daily running or will permanently damage my knee. My treadmill has a heart rate monitor and increases the incline to keep my heart rate elevated. Also, I increase my walking dumbbell 2lbs when I notice it getting to easy to carry.

Yeah, I see that. I love a routine. I gave a lot of detail like a “psycho” but it keeps me from being fat. Being fat is way worse than being a psycho
