in case anyone wants to know what an anorexic like me does for exercise: 1-3 mile walks daily + strength train 4-5x/ week (details below)

i’m generally getting through this about 3x times per month and just go in order—sometimes that’s many days in a row and sometimes i take a few days off in a row

usually doing sets in the 8 to 12 range depending how i'm feeling and going close but not to failure

i think this plan is great because you are never doing the same muscles on consecutive days so you can round robin the soreness

the first 3 days take about 30 minutes to get through and the last 2 days take a little less time—highly recommend

day 1—legs
3x hack squat
2x hamstring curl (single leg or double depending on feels)
2x seated hip abduction
2x standing calf raise
2x decline situps
2x oblique twisty machine thing (my fav!)

day 2—upper
3x cable chest press
2x lat pull down
2x machine shoulder press
2x row
2x tricep pushdown
2x cable curls

day 3—lower
3x leg press
2x seated hip adductor
2x leg extension
2x seated calf raise
2x hanging leg raise
2x incline reverse crunches

day 4—pull
10 pull ups (this usually takes 3 or 4 sets)
2x reverse fly
2x single arm cable pull down
2x chest-supported t-bar row

day 5—push // starting to play with free weights a bit
3x shoulder press
2x bench press
2x assisted dips
2x close-grip pushups

this is all loosely based on @JeffNippard's minimalist workout program 🤌🏼
