Struggle to create a plan
  • It sounds like you might be overwhelmed by all the options you have to reach your goals. I've been there. With so many exercises, plans, apps, etc it is easy to get a little lost.

    It looks like you already have an idea of the activities you want to focus on: running, martial arts, and bodyweight exercises.

    I would create a plan that includes 3 different days, one for running, one for martial arts, and one for bodyweight exercises.

    On each day, give yourself at least one specific goal. For example, if today is a running day, give yourself the goal of running for 5 minutes longer than your last run. If that seems like too much, make it 2 minutes. The point is to focus on incremental improvement, no matter how small the increment.

    As for bodyweight exercises, just pick a few and stick with them for a few months. Some common bodyweight exercises you could start with are pushups, squats, lunges, pull-ups, and chin-ups.

    Also, consider tracking your progress in a notebook. Apps are nice, but they can be a distraction / hindrance. Once you've created a plan that works for you on paper, you can search for an app that helps you track what you need.

    I hope this helps.
