1 year(10months) workout plan

I posted a similar question in another subforum, but didnt actually get any answers.
Is there any 1 year whole body workout program that you would recommend? I do have only 10 months to do it, and found some on google, but if possible, id rather do one that some real person recommends.
If i want to do 1 year program in 10 months, should i do first 10 months of that program, start at the beginning and do 10 months, or something in between?

Hi @justanotherbee

DAREBEE doesn't have any 12-month (or 10-month) Programs. But you can certainly run DAREBEE Programs back-to-back to fill up an entire year (or ten months, or whatever period of time you're aiming for). Your best option, of course, is just to get started, and then to keep going. So you're in a year-long contest with your nephew. Okay. But your fitness journey doesn't end when the contest ends.

The most important thing you can do is: get started.
The second most important thing you can do is: keep going.

It truly is that simple.

Start with DAREBEE's Fitness Test. It's a very quick test that will tell you the best level of DAREBEE Program for where you're at in your fitness journey right now and provide you with links to Workouts and Programs at that level. From there, you can take a short quiz that asks about your training goals and preferences, any equipment you might have (it's perfectly fine if you have none--most DAREBEE workouts don't require anything other than your own body and a willingness to do the work), and the amount of time you have available to train. When you get to the final question, I recommend you select "Tell me exactly what to do every day." This option will suggest an appropriate Program for you do to, which I think is the best option for getting started because it takes away any indecision paralysis and, as the answer choice says, literally tells you exactly which workout to do every day. With this method you do train every day. (You don't need to worry about "rest days". DAREBEE's Programs take your body's need for recovery into account with active recovery workouts that ease off on the intensity to enable you to keep training every day without burning out.) This is beneficial because it helps you to build consistency and turn working out into a habit. Which is exactly what you need.

Get started today. And good luck!

Thank you for your answer. I agree with what you said. I dont think my journey ends in 10 months, i m just trying to get to the best form around that time. And i already started. I was not really at the bottom when i started.

Fitness test and quiz seem like a great idea. Didnt even know there is an option "tell me what to do every day" here. I will do that👍

I did the test and the quiz and i did first day of my recommended program(locked in). Ill just follow it and see what happens😊
But while doing the test i had problems with balance on some tests. That is not a new problem for me and is probbably effect of my medical condition. Im just wondering if that could be a problem, especially during some jumping and moving exercises. Could i do something to prevent it(or tweak exercise in a way)?

I just noticed the page has 2 other recommendations for me which is not good for my overthinking brain😱, foundation(low impact) and momentum(extra abs and core work, which i would usually choose).
Although there are some extras for abs here too. I think thats something i will add to this locked in program.

Is there some exercise that makes me think less?🙈🤣

Often you can get a balance assist in exercises by placing one hand on the back of a chair, counter top, or a wall.

DAREBEE also has several workouts that will help you train your balancing skills. You can try these using a balance assist as well. (Try to lean on whatever you are using for support as lightly as possible.) Not knowing what medical condition is affecting your balance I cannot say if these would be appropriate or helpful for you or not. (I'm not a medical expert, in any case.) The general advice I'd give to anyone re: training balance is:
  • Start small and progress slowly. Often the balance challenge of a pose or exercise can be lessened through a modification that still helps you to improve your balancing skills without requiring you to take on an advanced exercise that will just have you hopelessly wobbling all over the place.
  • Fix your gaze on a point which is not moving. Usually a point on the wall in front of you roughly around eye level or a bit lower, or else a point on the floor several feet out from where you are standing works well. Don't look at moving objects, including other people who may be doing the exercise with you and wobbling themselves, or at yourself in a mirror, (unless you have good balance and want to challenge yourself by making the exercise harder!)
  • If you need a balance assist (wall, counter top, chair back, etc.) use it, but with as light a touch as possible.
  • Make certain you have space cleared around you such that, if you fall, you can fall safely.
  • If you have brittle bones (or any other condition) that would make falling, even in a controlled environment, unsafe for you, please consult with a medical professional re: what is/is not safe for you and how best to proceed. (I'm trained as a yoga teacher. I know how to help healthy people improve their balancing skills. I am not a medical professional.)

I doubt balance exercises would help. Im actually thinking of asking some proffesional about it, although not sure what proffesion would be good for that question.
I think doing some leg raises(for example) and moving a bit while i do them doesnt do any bad as holding to something would lessen the gain of the exercise(but thats just my point of view).

Im not really afraid of falling, my bones are ok.
I have demyelinating desease. Maybe someone here has any knowledge about it and can write some perspective about it in relation to exercise🤔

I didnt notice any running in my program. I love running and would like to put it on my plan, but this program has exercise on every day so no place to put it in😔

There's a typo in your link here @Nox .
Try: https://darebee.com/program.html#pty=running for the running programs.

30 Days of Change is a general fitness program at the same level as Locked In that includes a wide range of different training exercises, including running days. It sounds like that one might be a good fit for what you're looking for @justanotherbee . But check out the other running programs too and see what strikes your fancy.

My father had Multiple Sclerosis. So I do know quite a bit about that particular demyelinating disease. There are things you can do to help with balance issues, but there are a number of different pathways through which a demyelinating disease can cause them. So getting a professional assessment is likely your best bet. I found this booklet online that discusses balance issues related to MS and things one can do to address them (including recommendations for which healthcare professionals may be able to help).

I was told long time ago there is big chance i will get MS, but still havent been diagnosed.
I feel very lucky my health is still rather good, other than some balance issues, i have no problems with doing exercises.
