5 exercises for eternity

[pkafka]

Per our member, "Get Primal's" suggestion, I want to pose a great question to the community:

If you could only do five exercises for the rest of eternity, what would those five exercises be?

Here are mine:

1. Pull-ups
2. Squats
3. Dead Lifts
4. Swimming Sprints
5. ISO Pushups (will add a video of how I do them soon)

Thanks "Get Primal" for the question. Looking forward to hearing some answers.

O wow... My kind of thread

1. Pull-ups
2. Pick-Up Basketball
3. Walking Lunges
4. Burpees
5. Bench press (just makes me feel like a man!)

Surprised no-one has said "sex." haha, that is a primal activity, and can certainly be a workout!

Some of you may have heard of, or even read the New Rules of Lifting (which I would recommend if you have not read it). The authors concentrate on the six natural movements:

Squat
Bend
Lunge
Push
Pull
Twist

I happen to think the first 5 are the most important, and if I had to pick five specific exercises, I would pick 5 that incorporate those 5 movements.

[Theriomorphos]

1 Rock/mountain climbing

2 Rowing ( boat or a canoe )

3 Sprinting

4 Lifting big rocks from the ground overhead and tossing it as far as possible

5 Chopping wood

6 Humping ;-)

Oooh, good topic!

1. Snowboarding
2. Climbing rocks or hiking to jump into a lake over and over (I don't know what to call this, but it should be a sport)
3. Swimming in a lake to explore and look at rocks underwater (I don't know what else to call this either)
4. Box Jumps
5. Barefoot sprints

[NoCarbsForMe]

Not sure what my top five is but boxing workouts -hitting the bag is definitely my number one. no question. As well as yoga.

For me, at this point in my life, here's how I'd roll if I could only take 5 movements with me:
1. Deadlift
2. Thruster (Front Squat into Push Press)
3. Pullup
4. Club swinging
5. Rowing

We should workout together sometime! These all sound awesome, KL.

- The Living Room Boogie (aerobic dancing to loud music)
- Cycling
- Ice skating
- push-ups
- lunges/squats (I know, I'm cheating by adding a 6th, but I usually do them both together.)

This makes me sound more fit than I am. :) I'm into random activity as my so-called fitness plan. I have zero discipline. If it's not fun (or at least very brief), I'm not doing it.
