My work out at home(don't have access to a gym or weights)
10-15 push ups
Crunches as long as I can(usually about 3-4 minutes)
10-15 pull ups/chin ups (random pull up bar on our kitchen ceiling)
60-70 seconds on each arm of lifting up/puttig down milk jug i filled with water so roughly 7lbs?
Then another 10-15 push ups
Ans finish it with a 100-140 second plank
I know it isn't a lot, but it's a good 20 minute workout in the mornings
That's good. Keep the pull ups up, definitely. The push ups are great as well. What you can do is try to go slower up and slower down to help.
As far as the crunches go, how long have you been doing these? I can't even do proper form crunches for 3 mins straight. If you've been doing them for a while, awesome. If you're just beginning, I'd really double check my form.
I've done a mixture of situps/crunches. I guess I just have a lot of endurance or something in everything but my upper body.
I'm pretty dissalointed in my upper hody strength and hope to improve that the most. I already have the outlining or whatever of my 6 pack, and my legs are pretty strong from biking/walking a few miles almost every day.
They're definitely my most difficult core exercise, but I guess I plain never felt the brutal in it before because I was doing crunches every other day for months before starting them and my weighted crunches for at least a month (hold 30 lbs behind my head for extra resistance)
Well, I still jog/run, despite the biking. I've been biking as my main source of transportation for 11 years now. Between 12 years old and now, I've probably covered at least 50% of the miles I've been driven on my bicycle.
That being said, it doesn't rly get my heart rate up at all. Between squats and dead lifts, my legs get tired on the bike long before I get winded or a decent heart rate, which is why I go running 2-3 times a week.

If you cycle with a higher cadence (pedal a lower gear faster) it will save your legs from tiring as quickly by placing less stress on the muscles and more on your heart & lungs, hence you can get more of a cardio workout without being limited by muscle fatigue. It also helps to prevent you from burning out your leg muscles, I doubt this is that much of an issue for you with the distance you cycle but it's not a good idea to be pushing a big gear with tired muscles from weight training.
