Answer 4

If you DO decide to go back to the gym, I recommend you do maybe 15-20 repetitions with low weight to increase your muscle endurance.

If you can't get to the gym, I would recommend you do some good cardio workouts like pushups, situps (you can also pick up an ab-roller), burpies, etc. just to get your heart rate goin and it'll build muscle if you continue at high intensity no stopping.

If you can, get yourself some weights and stuff like that and do some minor weight training. Try looking at Frank Shamrock training, he is a beaaasttt. Maybe you can try something from this video:
