I am a 63 years old grandpa, 80kg, 1.73m (176 lb, 5′ 9″). Years ago, I enjoyrf jogging for some 10 minutes a day.

I don’t mind if the exercises are very intense and almost “painful”, but I **** gyms and expensive, sophisticated machines, and I don’t persevere if the daily exercise routine takes more than 20 or, at most, 30 minutes.

I was thinking on 20 min very intense isometrics (or elastic bands, or simple drumbells) on odds days, and 15 min jogging (followed by three 1 minutes sprints) (sometimes barefoot, at the beach close by) on even days.

I have no patience on stretching, therefore I preffer exercising just after coming home from my workdayb (I am a teacher), when the muscles are already warmed up.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Mrs. Edward Cullen asked:

I have been riding horses for 7.5 years, and was improving greatly two years ago, but then my dad wasn’t able to drive me to the stables as often, and my riding skills have deteriorated because of this. So, I’m picking up yoga to increase my flexibility, but are there any exercises I can do at home to help my riding. All suggestions are welcome, I’m desperate to improve!!

Besides walking, I live in East Dallas and really don’t wanna be walking outside!
So are there any at home exercises I could do in my own living room?
