There are tons of Yoga videos on Youtube, I think. If you want full body exercises, you can do push-ups, squats, and burpees. If you've got a pull-up bar then very awesome.Any good workout program now that i'm basically 99% at home? All I got is 2x 10lbs dumbells and yoga mat. Any good body weight or cardio heavy workout I can do everyday? I can't even run, it's taking a toll not only physically but mentally as well

Not fan of yoga due to my flexibility, which is really bad. Should I divide it to upper and lower alternate or do it all every day?So I checked the peanut butter I have now that the previous one is gone... 3g of Protein, 10g of Sugar.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

That's horrible general advice.Make sure to train to fail if you are just using body weight exercises and stuff.

Yup, yoga is great, if you can't assume a given pose, just use yoga blocks, towels or other props to make it possible. If you absolutely hate static stretching, you might look into animal movements or animal flows which are all the rage nowadays (and for a good reason)
I CANNOT find a place to do pullups for the life of me. My apartment doors are unsuitable for a bar and I can't seem to find even a decent tree nearby...
Except bodyweight is low load in some exercises (like the regular pushup) and high load in others (like the planche pushup). Making general rules like "always train to failure" is horrible advice.Uh okay?
Most the people in this thread are heavier lifters. Body weight alone and doing it at reps that are as low as what you are doing on high load won't amount to much.
There has even been research on this.

Can you drill in your ceiling? Installing pads like this is cheap and fast:I want to get gymnastic rings and could do pull ups on them... but where I will install them is not clear.
Heavier lifters? Did you just call us fat????Uh okay?

I think he meant heavy lifters. Deadlifts for life.
Ah - Noted - Agreed.Except bodyweight is low load in some exercises (like the regular pushup) and high load in others (like the planche pushup). Making general rules like "always train to failure" is horrible advice.
Haha - Yes Heavy Lifters.I think he meant heavy lifters. Deadlifts for life.
By the way, what will happen if my protein intake is cut off? Will I be becoming fat or am I on a ticket to Cutsville?
Yeah - I went out on Monday evening last week and most were gone.Barbell Medicine just put out an at home workout template with or without equipment (Not free though...it's about $20USD but they are planning on putting out a free 4 week template soon).
Any of you all having a hard time getting dumbbells? Every single dumbbell (except for the baby weight ones) are sold out
Depends on how many reps you can fit in a day, since I've only mentioned three things, every day should be the way, but then again I always do full body workouts.Not fan of yoga due to my flexibility, which is really bad. Should I divide it to upper and lower alternate or do it all every day?
Holy shit - that is rad.My gym did something cool, they're renting out all of the gear they have there (basically you leave a deposit and can take the stuff home).
I'm half tempted to grab the machine I was using to rehab my hip. :D
When planning your bodyweight workouts, why wouldn't you use the same principles you do when training with free weights? Choose progressions that are fairly challenging to you, test your one set max and then adjust the number over multiple sets (eg. if you can do 10 reps, 3 sets of 8 would give you a nice workout).Ah - Noted - Agreed.
But as for standard body weight exercises (Non advanced), it's typically or nearly always less than 100% body weight.
Even during normal times you can exercise too much. This reads to me like you shouldn't be exhausted all the time, should drink water and sleep a lot. All of those things are also true for strength and hypertrophy training. I think the 45 minutes for 3 days is an arbitrary number since every person has a unique work capacity.
You and me are soul mates. I have the same forearm bruises lol.. Starting to get better at it though. I have two 35s.Learning to do proper kettlebell clean and I have a big bruise on my left arm now.
I got one 25 and one 35 but I feel I will need a 45+ very soon.
RPE (rate of perceived exertion) is a pretty good tool to gauge when you are accumulating the right amount of fatigue. For those that know the scale, an RPE range of 6-8 is ideal especially for us that don't have access to a barbell/dumbbells, pull ip bar, etc
I've got a set of those. They're good.Got Bodylastics resistance bands a week ago (unfortunately sold out but just linking it here), and they've worked wonderfully! Got past the hesitant feeling of trying to stretch out the bands as far as I could, so that I can perform them my exercises with full range of motion.
yeah. i bought those in 2013 when i was doing p90x and they worked great. had no issues with them.Got Bodylastics resistance bands a week ago (unfortunately sold out but just linking it here), and they've worked wonderfully! Got past the hesitant feeling of trying to stretch out the bands as far as I could, so that I can perform them my exercises with full range of motion.
Imagine if after this people realize they don't need a gym. The end of an era.

Thanks!Push up (and it's variations)
Pull ups/Inverted rows
Squats
High hip bucks
That covers most of your body with just 4 exercises, and you can do them back to back with minimal resting times for a good cardio effect.
No / you're doing it wrong!
Sure, but I think everyone in this thread is trying to train right now so the undertraining section is irrelevant.It is not exactly related to overtraining. It is about immune system boost from exercise (post workout, not during). However, you can also compromise your immune system by overdoing it.
Beat corona but succumb to diabetes?#oops
no excuse to fall off the diet bandwagon
consequences for eating nothing but chips and popsicles almost every day lol
Not a bad selection. I'd add pike pushups and a core exercise (l-sit/hanging leg raises/dragon flag (progressions)) and you're pretty much covered.Push up (and it's variations)

it shows how many people are into fitness. or people are trying to scalp.Workout equipment is rarer than toilet paper over here. Holy shit am I glad I bought dumbbells + a bench a week ago. Pretty sure I could sell that shit with a profit right now.
