Anybody else doing home exercise? I do body weight exercises at the house. It's going well. I could use a way to do cardio while working... thinking about one of those under-desk bikes. Any experiences?

Tell me about your routine

i've actually been going to the gym since mid last year after a long break during peak covid, but mostly because everything i do requires the squat rack and everything else is just supplementary to one main lift (squat, deadlift, benchpress, overhead press).

eventually i really want to invest in a home squat rack. i feel like that and an adjustable dumbell would go a long way.

what kind of body weight stuff are you doing?

i've worked my way up to a short circuit of

• 10x pushups

• 15x squats

• ~30s plank

• 5 dead bugs

and just repeating that set until i get tired of one of the exercises (usually pushups or planks)

and then i would say just going for thinking walks during work if you have the luxury of working remotely or a job that allows it, and trying to motivate myself to riding my expensive covid bicycle purchase more

Right now I'm just testing out some basic bodyweight exercises on a yoga mat at home too, but I'm considering getting some weights because body weight alone has some limits at increasing strength. Not sure if anyone has some DIY hacks to get this done.

I've been exercising with a 16 Kg kettlebell at home the last three months. Mostly doing swings, cleans, snatches, squats and overhead presses with it. There's an instructional video on YouTube called Enter the Kettlebell that teaches pretty much all there is to it.

M / W / F, twice daily, 60 pushups and as many chinups and pull-ups as I can muster. I'm still training up my back. It's going well, but slowly. My diet is... depressing.

Yeah, I don't have a gym membership so I do most/all of my exercise at home.

I've got an adjustable bench, adjustable dumbbells (Powerblocks and Bowflex) from 5-90lbs, power tower (for pull-ups, dips, some core exercises), treadmill, and an Aviron rower.

Ooo just googled that rowing machine. Looks great !!!

Yeah, it's a nice one. The games are pretty fun, and it's cool how they are real-time multiplayer. A lot of times I'll just hop on there for a casual row while watching some Youtube videos on the screen.
