In the bed.

Ive got my own makeshift gym but theres lots of videos on youtube on how to workout at home or in hotels.

[sd3035]

Handstand pushups, pistol squats, one armed pushups, use big water jugs for various exercises, plyometrics, any bar or ledge for pullups

Get creative, there are hundreds of exercises without a gym

[hateraid]

Get an IG account. Somebody will tag you in a fitness challenge

[JohnnySic]

Bodyweight excercises and wind sprints.

[falc39]

Workplace has a surprisingly adequate gym that no one really uses. Dumbbells, barbell with a bench, a squat rack. Since no one is really going to work as much anymore, I’ll go use the gym at work and go during the off hours to make sure no one else is there.

[ArbitraryWater]

home with weights and looking up additional workouts on youtube

gym equipment for chest and back workouts would be nice

luckily i have a pretty practical bench that kind of replaces my main back workout

[fsvr54]

Only fakkits use gyms anyways. Ive always done bodyweight exercise, for free. So no changes, except no pull-up bars at the park. Vigorous bike riding around the neighborhood, push ups and squat-style exercises.

So every pro athlete in almost every major sport is a fakkit? Because, you know, they use gyms.

[Walk on Water]

Just walking long steep hills. You don’t need to prioritize weight lifting right now. The hills are building up my legs and lungs in the case I catch a virus.

Don’t do push-ups outside because you don’t know if someone else did them with their hands. Absolutely no pulls ups.

They get paid millions of dollars to stay in elite shape and dont have to pay gym membership. An average person paying gym membership, when you can stay in shape for free never made much sense to me. Huge muscles have zero utility if you're an average joe.

[tpols]

been working out my thumbs and fingers mad playing nintendo.

getting that grip strength up.

[Celtics 1825]

I got a bench press at home and a few dumbbells, nothing heavy unfortunately but it's something at least

[FreezingTsmoove]

Ive been smashing Lambruhs mother

So they are millionaires with access to any type of training equipment and they still use free weights. Makes sense

If you think the gym is a place to build "big muscles" then you have no understanding of the gym

[Andrei89]

Bought a boxing bag attached to a pull up bar.

Pretty good so far

[Bigsmoke]

Jogging.... once in 2 weeks

[Jasper]

going to frig and crackin a beer every hour ... my elbow is sore as hell , but wife has tennis elbow , so it's not as bad as hers

[Stanley Kobrick]

I'm not a avid gym rat by no means but was getting into a respectable routine at my local Planet Fitness the past few months before lockdown. i've now lost all my gains and started doing more cardio at the high school track nearby. +began with 3 laps at a time a few weeks ago and now up to 8 laps at a steady jog. 2 miles every other day, nothing crazy.


how about yourself?

remember the popular P90X in the mid 00's?

[ArbitraryWater]

still go to a gym, among with 8-9 other cats.

there's a personal coach in the area who has a 2-room gym, we are all in one whatsapp group and share the room throughout the day, always 1-2 at a time, changing shifts so to speak... i brought a friend into the cycle and now we go there every 2nd day.

my moms use to be into Richard. back when it was okay to be openly gay in hollywood

I havent been able to do pullups in weeks, my back has become weaker. The park I used bars at has been closed indefinitely.

I've been on bike ride about 3 times a week, my own style of squats once a week and pushups once a week. i don't eat enough to work out harder than that.

that's cool. yeah my nearby park locked their tennis courts and put yellow tape around the playground like a crime scene :lol

[Stanley Kobrick]

i didn't know this thread existed. sorry for my new one i posted

[Jasper]

try to walk as much as possible besides farm chores

[red1]

I'm letting myself go to shit playing call of duty for the first time in 7-8 years, running that warzone with some bros.


Ive already smoked nearly two ounces since quarantine started a month ago - exercise is not happening. :oldlol:

[Hawker]

Yoga and swiss ball for core exercises. And 30 min walks outside when it's decent weather.

[1987_Lakers]

Since the hot weather is here, there are gonna be days where I can't run outside. I found this workout out from home vid, it's no joke.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3rkNX2qd_k&list=LL6gqMfG1CCj3PYSJuw3hMjQ&index=2&t=0s

^I do this workout (20 min), take a 2 min rest. Then continue to do burpies, planks, jump rope, & mountain climbers for another 20-25 min. In the end it's a high intensity 40-45 min workout and my shirt is always trenched in sweat. I recommend it for all.

[rawimpact]

I bought some powerblock adjustable weights that go up to like 95lbs each. I like the ergonomics of it... they were pricey but saved me a lot of space.

[dude77]

sprints in the backyard .. carrying around 95 lb cement bags around the yard and squatting with them and using some dumbbells .. but I put up a squat rack in my garage and I'm hunting for the bar and weights .. I've heard late june is a realistic time frame .. I'm not depending on the gym again .. they can shut everything down next time I'll be ready .. almost 3 months of no real heavy weights ridiculous .. luckily I already have the foundation and muscle memory so I'll quickly pick up where I left off when I get back into it

[Jasper]

I am walking 3+ times a week , 4+ miles a walk.
I am in rehab right now for my ruined back , so I have some simple stretchs I do at home.
I am minimizing my farm work chores.

[Levity]

my workouts consist of swinging kettle bells or swimming in a pool. seems to do the job of keeping me in decent shape while indulging in whatever i want to eat during this pandemic.

[JohnnySic]

BUMP!

Gyms opened in my area earlier this month. There are all kinds of rules, but from what I've seen, they're not being enforced. Anyway, its nice having the gym back.

[imdaman99]

Rims are back up here. There's a bunch of zumba ladies at my park though if anyone is interested :lol

[TheMan]

Sweating To The Oldies with Richard Simmons, great alpha workout.

[KD7]

Mainly hooping at the park + I have dumb bells at home

Gym is opening back up in a couple of days here in London
