I usually don't start anything new at new year, but did start adding push-ups and sit-ups to my routine near the end of November. I'm doing around 125-150 push-ups in 4 sets. I just hit 50 quality push-ups in a set, which is a new high for me. I would like to eventually get up to around 300 push-ups every other day.
Any of y'all have simple home workout routines you do? My aerobic activity is usually riding my bike. That is a good number of push-ups. Impressive. I don't know if I could do 20 without a trip to the ER.

Neighbor of mine jogged 5 miles a day for as long as I can remember. Jogged by everyday no matter what. He dropped dead at 60. I've outlived him by 6 years.

It’s the number 1 resolution by a long shot and 85-90% will give it up by March.

Hit the gym. You need to exercise all muscle groups. I do these 3X a week and they are good. Check out all his videos - they're really good. Yes they are good videos

Rode my bike outdoors and the trainer total of 3240 miles, took 205 hours in 2022. That's a pretty good feat. I keep telling myself I'm going to start riding again, but......

No one does dead weight pull ups any more? I put a pull-up bar between 2 trees. Doing pull-ups is more difficult than I remember.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

I put gym equipment in house in the summer, I have been working pretty hard to get in good shape. I understand the round is a shape but not the one I want. I also am so sick of always low carbing I decided by adding weights it would give me some diet flexibility. Plus I was getting on testosterone so I figured in for a penny in for a pound.

Rode my bike outdoors and the trainer total of 3240 miles, took 205 hours in 2022. 15.8 mph is FAST! I can do that on an electric but not on a regular bike. I average 11-12mph...on a good day.

50 push ups (unbroken) every day. Probably hit that ~325 days last year. Keep yourself accountable on how easy/hard they are. I will make them dead stops if I'm really looking for some fun. I'll tweak the volume at times but never less than 50.
Run 30-40 miles a week. Watch the diet, take supplements where needed, read books, be better at life, etc.
