How are you lifting with gyms closed?

How are you lifting with gyms closed?
- eropple 6y agoA home gym is not hard to put together, improvised or no.
- JoshGlazebrook 6y agoIt was impossible to even find a single dumbbell when lockdown started. Has it changed?
- chrsstrm 6y agoTheraBands are readily available and won't have the delivery driver cursing at you for ordering weights. They are just as effective.
- cheez 6y agoOh this looks very interesting.
- chubot 6y agoI just bought a kettlebell last week on Amazon and it came today. It was the last one of its model, but I'm sure you can find some others. I've never lifted weights before but the kettlebell sounds appealing because it's supposed to be "functional strength", not overworking a single muscle like big gym machines can.
- metrokoi 6y agoYes, it is pretty much impossible. Buying weights off craigslist or Facebook has always been the better bet anyway, because it's not as if a chunk of iron can get worn out and they are much cheaper. Listings are probably harder to find and more expensive, though. You can also make plates out of concrete, although that also requires more room than dumbbells and for you to already have a barbell.

- weavie 6y agoRogue can notify you when their kettlebells come in stock. I managed to nab one the other week. You have to act fast though, because they sell out pretty quick. https://www.rogueeurope.eu/rogue-kettlebells-eu https://www.rogueeurope.eu/rogue-kettlebells-eu
- eropple 6y agoI just bought a power cage for the garage of my new house, no problem. Already had the weights, though.
- wmichelin 6y agoYou can do most workouts with those reusable tote bags at home! You can also do push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups with no weights. Planks. You can get pretty ripped without workout equipment.
- chrsstrm 6y agoHere's a nice big collection of programs that either don't require equipment or use minimal equipment you could improvise - https://darebee.com/programs.html https://darebee.com/programs.html No account or login, no ads or affiliate sales, and all programs are PDFs you can download.
- macintux 6y agoThank you, that's exactly what I needed.
- rorykoehler 6y agoYou should post this on here as a top level submission.
- cheez 6y agoThis is amazing.
- alexpetralia 6y agoWhat a wonderful resource.
- notatoad 6y agogyms aren't closed everywhere.
- anonytrary 6y agoWhy do you need to lift weights, exactly? You can get extremely fit with a small set of basic bodyweight exercises and some creativity. All you need is a mat, or even a soft carpet.
- PakG1 6y agoReally would prefer to not have all my sweat dripping into my carpet though. :)
