Yes! But I don't really know what to do.Don't know what to do as in you don't know what workouts to do?
I should probably join you, because I need to get back to working out and being healthier myself. But I already know I'm not currently in the right state to actually commit. Godspeed though!Well what state are you in if not the right state!?
I feel it. I stopped biking regularly back in like March when my school shut down (when I wasn't exactly biking a lot anyway, because winter, but I at least was walking instead), plus I went off my asthma meds for a while due to not havign a doctor to renew the prescription (and now my school insurance is gone so I'm off them again until I can afford them more comfortably), so trying to bike anywhere now is pretty rough. That's compounded by working from home, so I don't even have a regular commute to whip me into shape. It's hard to find the motivation to go out for a quick ride just for the sake of rebuilding my stamina, particularly where going anywhere interesting is pushing my current capabilities.Yeah I was much more active prior to the pandemic. I was at my best when I was 25 which was 6 years ago. That's what I really want to get back to. I never was one for cardio, but I want to start implementing more of that into my routine now.
Don't know what to do as in you don't know what workouts to do?Yes! I have some exercise bands. That's about it. I can look up videos on YouTube probably. It's been long enough into the pandemic that there are probably plenty of home workout videos now.

It's been long enough into the pandemic that there are probably plenty of home workout videos now.Even push-ups, lunges and squats without weights is a good place to start. There are probably a lot of things you can do with resistance bands.

the bar is substantially lower.
Its weird going from 3rd in a triathlon to tired after walking up a flight of stairs.I would love to have a squat rack available at home. I had a bench but couldn't bring it with me when I moved from my grandmother's house to my apartment. I would like to go back to the gym, but I don't know what that would look like during the pandemic. I guess I gotta start up at home. I have some free weights, a stationary bicycle, and an olympic bar in my small patio.
So I'll join, I have a squat rack and bench in my apartment that I never use. Used it for the first time today. Super light, but still.
The nice thing about being out of shape is the bar is substantially lower.
Doesn't that make it harder to lift it?lol

I've had a slight pain in my knee for some time and I haven't been exercising as much lately. Running is my favorite but I'm afraid it'll make my knee feel worse so I just go for long walks instead. I don't have any weights but I guess I can do calisthenics or get a resistance band. The other problem is time since I've been working a ton of overtime all year.That sucks about the running. Do you like biking? It's a little easier on the knees.
Guys, do we have days designated for specific parts? What days do we rest? Are we skipping leg day?You can make a schedule if you want. It usually helps to do that. I'm probably gonna set a small goal and just try to work out at least twice this week. Also, never skip leg day.
I wanted to get in better shape this year. Unfortunately, this year is 2020.I don't think there is ever an excuse for getting lazy. There is always a way to exercise. We just like to give ourselves excuses. Me included.
I think people should get a free pass for letting themselves go a little this year. Those who actually got in shape are the true MVP's.
ever since gyms have reopened I've been super tight with diet and routine, in my best shape in my recent memoryThe diet is the hardest part for me. I eat like crap. Luckily I'm naturally skinny. When I was in pretty good shape, I could see my abs despite my diet. Not because I was skinny, but because I actually had put on muscle. I still have a picture of me from then. I remember Charles from diso was one of the ones who complimented me when I posted it on ig. Made me feel good since he's a bodybuilder. haha.

Too bad he went prematurely bald from all the, you know, "creatine" usexD is that what happened?
