Woke-up this morning with zero motivation, but knew I needed to do "something" physical, if for no other reason to keep myself sane. Ended up doing one clean, one press, one squat (alternating sides)with my 24kg, resting as needed. I like this because you can basically just keep doing "one more" set and, before you know it, you've done a ton of work in a short amount of time without noticing.

I felt a lot better after finishing and it made me curious - what are some of the workouts everyone else does when they don't feel like workout out?

Great session.


I try and make sure that I do a few things everyday....

Walk - (I live near woods, have a dog and a 6 year old haha).

More gait pattern work - prone flutters ie lying on stomach with arms out - lift right arm and left leg, lower to floor and switch. Easy to knock out 100 or so reps.

Some kind of rotational pattern - ground based rolling, side plank clams etc.

Upper back movement - prone T's, Y's.

Given life just now, if that was all I did then I feel ok. I try and 'lift' twice a week.

30-minute walk and/or a 15-minute OS routine and/or 10 pullups.

That session sounds familiar
https://www.strongfirst.com/strength-aerobics/

For me:
DMPM
C+P+FSQ as a BB complex
KB swings + loaded carry

On the endurance side, a 40-50’ run or 60-75’ bike.

What I like to call “momentum” workouts. Enough to keep the training momentum going but without causing much fatigue.

I really like cleans and snatches on a timer. For example: 8 clean doubles or triples on a 2 minute timer. So every time the timer hits 0:00, 2:00, 4:00 6:00 etc you do a double or triple (or single or whatever).

I also like Heavy Hands sessions just now. In, 100 reps of one of the movements and thats it.

Drag a sled for twenty minutes while doing chest presses, overhead tri extensions, rows, curls, and/or face pulls.

Be strong. Be in shape. Be a man among men, regardless of your age or circumstances.

32kg A&A snatches

Other days are double kettlebell clean and jerk. Also double KB swings, farmers walks, and pushups. Any combination of those movements.

I've found that quality time day in and day out on the park bench has me a lot closer to the bus bench when I'm ready to spend some time there.

Just my 2¢

A+A snatches for 20-25 mins. I was using the 24 and recently started on the 32 but tweaked my trap.

OR


Slow circuit on the minute:

Min 1: 10 swings
Min 2: 5 goblet squats
Min 3: 10 pushups

Repeat for 6-10 rounds


OR

5-8km easy run

If I really don't feel like working out, I take it as a sign that I need a day off! That said, some days I feel funky and not quite up to it so I just start...my warm up is easy, circular joint mobility stuff, based off Scott Sonnen's Intu-Flow and a few active stretches (NOT passive stretches). By the time I finish that I usually feel "on" and if not, I just go for a walk or even like down for awhile.

Chop a tree, then light walk 20-30 min or just Netflix... :)
