I know it's not the same, but, we must. From those of us who'll just go for a run to those who are working out how to lift more than a can of soup. And those with a proper home setup (I wish).

What's your home gym/ workout look like?

Pretty much the same as the gym but makeshifting some exercises with dumbbells only.

10 minute run as a warm up followed by a weight workout, 4 times a week.

I'll start next week though, I promise

Terrible considering I depend so much on the gym I go to, the amount of weight I lift will be way to expensive to buy whilst all this is going on so just normal calisthenics

It's an idea although I'm a bit loathed to get proverbial dick measuring involved. Like good for X that they can do 100 pull-ups, 1 would be huge for me (unassisted, lol), sort of thing. Maybe post that you do it, and if you improve?

So we need a girl challenge and a beast challenge

For the girls i was thinking 10 pushups.. Although I can only do collapse-downs currently haha so aspirational target for me

30 second planking, increasing every day by 10 seconds?

50 squats throughout the day (i can do them when the kettle is on )

you don't need fancy equipment just your own body weight can bo enough to keep you in shape. Obviously if you want to bulk up you want heavier weights. But just jogging and pressups, sit ups, pull ups can tone you up

How about using resistance bands clipped to your pull up bar to give you assisted pull ups?

I find motivating myself to exercise on the house really hard. On the first lockdown I got good at doing a finger board routine regularly, nearly managed a traverse across the brickwork on the back of the house but that was wrecking my climbing shoes (and finger tips). As the lockdown dragged on I got worse and worse at doing the workouts

Running has been my saving grace though I've been struggling all year with a hip issue. Finally bit the bullet and started seeing a chiro which seems to be slowly working at least.

Don’t really see the point in assisted pull ups. Need to improve lat strength so just focus on negatives or bodyweight rows to build up.

Also... do chin ups instead of pull ups. Supinated grip is better than pronated. Neutral grip is even better if you can do that.

That's fair. In the gym I use the assisted machine for dips and pull ups, but at home I'll need to improvise. There are other gym based improvisations I know, but at home with very little, obviously harder. Row makes sense, though. I'm overthinking this (who, me? )

Mine:

16 mins HIIT or a short (2-3miles) run as warm-up.

All subsequent exercises performed whilst also wearing a Bulldog weight vest, loaded according to exercise.

-Upper Body

Decline press-ups in shoulder width and diamond hand positions.

Combination of pull-ups/chin-ups.

*pull-ups target the lats more, chin-ups (and neutral grip) put more emphasis on the biceps in particular, arm muscles generally.

Sit-ups off a step to a) protect my coccyx and b) to increase range of motion - similar idea as the old Roman column but not as severe.

Shoulder press with kettlebells of various weights. Essential.

Halos with KBs of various weights.

-Lower body.

Skater squats, carrying a KB.

Standard squat, carrying 2 KBs.

Deadlifts (improvising slightly, using KBs).

Calf raises off a step, carrying a KB.

Knee raises to 90 degrees, KB hooked over foot.

Arabesques, unweighted, as recommended to me by a Swedish Jiu jutsu instructor!

Hand work using IronMind bands and CoC grippers.

Stretches to follow, plus protective work focussing on rotator cuffs and hip flexors.

Cycling and running for cardio-specific but all of the above will also work that aspect.

I don't know why having an apartment would necessarily make having a chin-up bar difficult, as noted somewhere above - ceiling height dictates that. I live in a high-ceilinged apartment and can get my chest to the bar with room to spare.

Equipment so far:

KBs of 12, 16 and 24kg.

Pull-up bar, obviously essential.

Ab wheel. Looks easy, will destroy you rapidly. Cheap, very effective - essential.

Bulldog 20kg max. load weight vest. A really useful bit of kit for taking bodyweight exercises and making them better/harder - I now regard mine as essential.

CoC grippers: old school and still used for good reason.

IronMind Expand your Hand bands: train hand strength in that direction too!

I think that's about it. Minimal equipment, some floor space and sticking to the foundational, compound exercises wherever possible.

It's a third of the formula. Nutrition is another third. The, er, third third is sleep. So many articles fail to mention it.

Ohh "you can't outtrain a bad diet!" or "there's no point worrying about your macros if you're not doing the right exercises!" all frequently appear but, quite frankly, both of those elements are f**ked if you're not sleeping properly.

I learned, during my time in the Army, that the surest, quickest way to degrade a person's ability to properly function is to simply keep them awake.

Prioritise sleep. Not rest: sleep.

"Half the workout is the diet ... but ladies please keep all your sexy curves

It's a third of the formula. Nutrition is another third. The, er, third third is sleep. So many articles fail to mention it.

Ohh "you can't outtrain a bad diet!" or "there's no point worrying about your macros if you're not doing the right exercises!" all frequently appear but, quite frankly, both of those elements are f**ked if you're not sleeping properly.

I learned, during my time in the Army, that the surest, quickest way to degrade a person's ability to properly function is to simply keep them awake.

Prioritise sleep. Not rest: sleep."

Yup sleep is so important !!

I'll see where my lifting takes me. I don't have set goals, aesthetic or otherwise

I've been working with a coach since January so I have home workout routines using the weights I bought just before Lockdown v1. She's also doing live classes with her gym, BodyCulture in Chorley, with an online challenge too. Gonna get me some more gainz!

I do a 20-30 minute HIIT every day,

Usually 10 different cardio and core exercises, 45 or 50 seconds on and 10-15 seconds rest - do that 3 times.

I try to get a good mix of exercises to vary parts of the body I am working out.

If you’d like I can snapshot my workout guides (I typed them up and printed a few off).

"Mine is rubbish... Can we have a daily challenge??

Like press ups or planking or squats?

It's an idea although I'm a bit loathed to get proverbial dick measuring involved. Like good for X that they can do 100 pull-ups, 1 would be huge for me (unassisted, lol), sort of thing. Maybe post that you do it, and if you improve?

So we need a girl challenge and a beast challenge

For the girls i was thinking 10 pushups.. Although I can only do collapse-downs currently haha so aspirational target for me

30 second planking, increasing every day by 10 seconds?

50 squats throughout the day (i can do them when the kettle is on )

"

Girls can be beasts too...

I opt for gymnastic rings, dipping bars, push up bars, a chin up bar and resistance bands.

S is currently doing pull ups. I'm cheering her on so she gets her sets done faster and I can squat

It can be hard to get motivated to go for a run in the rain you feel good after do!

Went out in the wheelchair earlier. Definitely not a day for 5k. Just going to the shop and back was too far. Cushion ends up soaked and you're sitting in a puddle.

Similar to the gym session as being run by the gym via zoom so a strength section and a metcon mostly using dumbbells or a heavy object also taking the opportunity to do a bit of extra running

I'm quite grateful to the ingenious people who managed to mock up resistance bands, a set, that I could get for under a tenner on eBay
