My Simple Street Workout to Keep My Body Fit

 My street workout is quite simple and short in time but it is enough for me and works pretty well. As a proof, here is my photo. 

In the past, I was a competitive bodybuilder and my workouts were very hard and heavy. Today my views on health and workouts differ from my views in the past, they changed drastically. Today I believe in the human body, I believe it is perfect and unparalleled. I trust my body. 

In regard to working out, I believe that one should not workout too hard or torture the body by pushing it to its limits to get in shape. And it's even easier if one just wants to keep the body fit without increasing muscle strength and mass. Although it is inevitable to happen because the human body reacts even to small changes in daily activity.

And by telling that it's not that difficult to get in shape I mean to get your muscle tone and even to increase your strength, but what concerns weight loss and burning fat - one should change the diet by adjusting it for weight loss. I have a blog section about my nutrition where I share examples of my meals and my diet strategy in general which allows me to eat a lot and stay in good shape.

Today I believe that it is enough to workout in a way that can just push the body a bit out of its comfort zone, so workouts should be just a little more intensive and heavier than your daily activity so to say but not too hard and exhausting.

Here is my simple street workout that helps me to keep my body fit.

I do 3 exercises, 5 sets for each:

1. Pull-ups
2. Chest deeps
3. Hanging leg hip raises

I rotate these exercises. I do 5 reps for each first set of every exercise, one after another. I rest between sets for 1 minute. The first round is like a warm-up.

Then I do 3 rounds(three sets) of the exercises for 10 reps each set. I rest between sets for 1-2 minutes.

Then I do the last, 5th, round of each exercise to muscle failure, so I do as many reps as I can.

Before the beginning of the last 5th round, I rest for about 5 minutes. After pull-ups until muscle failure, I rest as much as I need, usually not more than 5 min, then I do chest deeps until muscle failure, then rest for 1-2 min and I do hanging leg hip raises until my abs failure. That's it.

I workout no more than 3 times a week. But I do exercises until muscle failure not more than once a week, or even once in two weeks if I feel like I need more time to recover. For example, on Monday and Wednesday, I do no more than 10 reps for each set of every exercise, and on Friday I workout exactly as I described above, that is until muscle failure on the last round.

For some periods of time I workout only once a week but nevertheless my body shape stays fit and my muscle strength doesn't decrease at all. The only thing is when I workout 3 times a week my muscles look a bit bigger or more rounded I would say.

And in regard to leg training. I live on the fifth floor and I don't use the elevator. So walking up stairs is an exercise for my legs. Sometimes, to make it more intense, I walk upstairs fast or skip every second step and step up on every third one.

I hope someone may find my experience useful.
