My gym routine may not be the best for building muscle, but it\u2019s helped me build a habit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a big weight room guy. In high school, I got called \u201cBird Legs,\u201d and in college, I picked up the nickname \u201cStretch.\u201d I tried to bulk up, but every time I tried, say, bench press, it just felt like too much work and not much fun.<\/p>\n

But as I\u2019ve gotten older, I\u2019ve realized that lifting weights is probably the only way I can keep doing the things I love. In my 20s, I stayed in shape by having fun \u2014 hiking, rock climbing<\/a> and kayaking. Now, in my 40s, I work out every day so I can occasionally have fun without injuring myself.<\/p>\n

So, over the past few years I\u2019ve come up with a strength routine that I actually enjoy. And the secret is obvious, now that I know it: I do what I like to do, and I prioritize showing up over following a specific routine.<\/p>\n

No professional trainer in her right mind would recommend this program as an efficient way to build strength or muscle mass. But nevertheless, a few experts I spoke to said I might be onto something.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
