Plans to move to the larger city of Waterford have been postponed. This leaves me in rural Ireland with no gym for 30 miles, probably for several months. I'm in ok shape for my age, but really want to try and improve. (5'7" 135lbs, 11% body fat)
I brought with me a pull up bar, kinetic stretch bands, and push up disks. Forcing myself to use them is not so easy. I am in the guest house on a 200 acre farm so I have room to jog, and I bought a used bike, though the roads are scary narrow (barely wide enough to pee across....) So cardio is not a problem. (5-10k jog every other day) But trying to keep up any muscular workout is proving difficult. (I did discover a nice corner where two cattle gates meet that I can do dips though.)
Does anyone have any suggestions for exercises with the equipment at my disposal or just an encouraging and motivating comment?
Thanks in advance.
