Any new workout plans for 2018?

I'm not one for making resolutions, but I remember Jack LaLanne said he would always revamp his workout program to keep it fresh.

In 2017, I decided to do pushups. Every day this year, I've done the date (e.g., today is 22+12). It's not a massive amount, but I've stuck to it and I'm thinking about what to add in for 2018. I'm leaning towards body weight squats.

Anyone else do something like this?

    Nice work on the pushups! I'm so horrible at those and after I broke my arm, it's even worse (even though the arm's healed now, it still hurts when I put a lot of weight on it).

    I've already started, but hope to continue my running regimen into 2018. I was in the best shape of my life in 2015 when I was running regularly, but it's been wayyyy too long since I've done that on any kind of routine. C25K is my friend right now!

    I'm switching out my lifting programme. Hoping a shorter 4 day will be less taxing than a 3 day. (I've been testing it out but because of the season haven't managed a full week yet)

    Squats would be a good add in. Have a look at the Runtastic squat app it gives you a progression to work through.

    Cheers, h.

    I find an upper/lower split to be a great progression from full body.

    I tried a 4-day upper/lower split and it was better than the 4-day 5/3/1 but not as good as 3-day whole body. I just feel too beat up if I lift 2 days in a row even if different body part.

    I do wish you luck and a bit jealous if it is good for you. The workouts being shorter would be nice.

    Well, you know, actually working out, for reals this time, maybe...

    I got invited to climb Rainier with a competent party. That'll be a change from riding my bike, skiing on groomed trails, and lifting at the gym.

    I am so excited for you. A Mt Rainier climb sounds right up your street.
    I want a photo post of your climb.
    Ooh the scenery, it will be magnificent.
    Is Ms Cascades going too?

    Cheers, h.

    Finishing my bulk through January, starting a cut in February, adding more speedwork into my running for some races in the spring and distance for some fall half marathons.

    I'm having surgery 1/15 and won't be able to exercise for 6 - 8 weeks but when I can resume, I'm going to try PiYo for the first time. It's different and why not?

    I really need to do more strength training, but I’m not done losing weight. I’m an avid runner but that’s it when it comes to regular exercise. I’m hoping to reach my goal weight by April, then I’m gonna start my recomp. So for me, HOPEFULLY most of 2018 will be getting my body toned up and strong!

    I started yesterday so it’s not quite 2018 specific, but I’m doing one of Fitness Blender’s four-week programs and am pretty excited about it. It definitely feels like a step up from what I had been doing, and I like the guided aspect (but still from the comfort of my own basement).

    I’m also planning on looking for some nice adjustable free weights come February. Hopefully someone’s failed resolution will save me some cash.

    I'm thinking of changing my lifting to alternating one week power/strength, one week hypertrophy/strength. We'll see how it goes...I mostly just make up my own program anyway. I do have a goal of at least maintaining my 115 bench, but would like to hopefully do 120 by spring break.
