I've been on waiting lists for any serious at home gym equipment since April. Not a peep, but I refuse to pay Marketplace/Craigslist scalpers.
If you're just interested in general fitness, no equipment needed, there are any number of online workouts to follow that will give you a great whole body + cardio workout using nothing more than your body weight.
(though I bought both a spinning bike and a set of dumbbells at the beginning of quarantine... I've finally reached the point where the dumbbells aren't quite heavy enough for everything, so I've been watching eBay for a good deal on additional weight plates since as you noted, it's hard to find workout equipment)
- AmericanChopper 6y agoMy quarantine routine was yoga mat + YouTube yoga session every morning before work. It’s been pretty great tbh. (Btw, yoga with adriene is a very good YouTube yoga channel)
- asurty 6y agoI have also been loving yoga on youtube! Its like going to a class except there is nobody to tell me how much my form sucks. I've been thinking about writing an app to let me turn some of these follow alongs into an interval timer where I could just say the name of the pose (so I could do other things while doing the yoga). Then I could always click on the pose to go back to the video. Does that sound of interest?
- jwally 6y agoAnother good way to extend the life of weights that are too light: Increase Reps, Increase Sets, Decrease Rest, focus on pace while lifting (4 seconds down, 2 seconds up), and unilateral exercises (1-leg-squats). Not a substitute for everything, but hopefully can help bridge the gap for a little longer.
