It's a one-time payment. You can spend it on anything fitness or health related.

Edit: I'm not looking for recommendations, I'm curious what YOU would spend it on.

I'd get an indoor spinning bike (if I didn't already have one). It's a really fun exercise option for any weather!

How do you make peddling fun?

I recently got a plyo box from REC thats about that price. I'm really enjoying it so far

Shoes/hikers

Kind of a boring answer, but I think the most logical answer for most people would be to use it on their gym membership. I know I would.

A nice pair of running shoes, to get me motivated to stay jogging again. I need to do cardio.

Lol. Yes it does.

Bruh I spend more to work with a personal trainer twice a week.

Your trainer makes bank.

Right now I’d probably snag some mack clamps and blow the rest on chicken.

Socks from Feetures to avoid blistering when running (they're really good, so much so I've been slowly replacing all my socks with Feetures) and compression underwear and tops. Then do your working out at home or outside, depending what's practical for your situation.

Day 1: Sets

  • 20 pushups
  • 20 lunges
  • 25 calf raises
  • 60 seconds plank
  • 20 squats
  • 25 calf raises
  • 10 chinups
  • 20 lunges
  • 25 calf raises
  • 10 side planks (5 each side, the ones where you curl your shoulder down to the ground and then back up, buggered if I can remember the proper name)

Consider these one unit, and when you're not dying after doing one, add another one, and then another. My record was 6 in one day.

Day 2: Cardio

  • 15 minutes of intervals, on a treadmill or outside at your preference. The speed depends on you but jogging should use your calves more and running should use your thighs more - do not heel strike, land on the balls of your feet to avoid shocks to the knee joints. Nobody needs arthritis at 40.

Alternate and watch the gains roll in.

My arms are now too big for my favorite shirt so I'd say my current routine is working well for the gains ;) Still, I appreciate the effort you put into writing this.

Ah shit, I thought this was an "I'm starting to work out" post. I'll leave it for anyone else who might find it helpful; it's slower than weights but it builds strength and stamina in lockstep and gets all the major muscle groups.

I'll still highly recommend compression gear generally if you don't have any (though it sounds like you probably do!) and Feetures socks for running 😊

I would put it in the bank and just go be active ..pickup a heavy thing and walk. Jog..hike...just do stuff.

Money is useless for fitness.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Need money for shoes though. And to travel to hiking spots.
