How can you start a gym hobby during quarantine? Haven't been to a gym in 8 months even though I still pay my pricy membership just to support them.

- wensley 6y agoBuy some weights and do them at home?
- stevewodil 6y agoThere are a lot of good calisthenics workouts that you can try, and I would recommend getting an adjustable set of dumbbells too. Look at the thenx workouts on youtube to get yourself started. Ideally you would work each muscle group once or twice a week with 2-3 days rest before you hit the same muscle group again. Most people do a variation of a push / pull / legs split to start.
- 0-_-0 6y agoLook up kettlebell training
- sundvor 6y agoGarage gym. Ideally bought before the lock down. Or anywhere with a floor strong enough for a squat rack and some weights. The rack, an Olympic bar plus Olympic sized Ezy bar, a bench and an assortment of plates and ideally a plate holder and some thick rubber mats is all you need. Has been an amazing help for myself through some tough periods lately. Also ditto on Stronglifts 5x5.
- farnsworth 6y agoNobody who lives in a city can do this. I can't even do jumping jacks in my apartment without pissing off my neighbors. And this time of year, it's always raining so I can't do it outside. It's incredibly depressing.
- sundvor 6y agoThat's horrible. :( I've seen a lot of strength mobility movement training program ads, not sure if that could be something?
- Taylor_OD 6y agoI bought a set of 20 pound dumbbells and a 50 pound kettlebell for less than $100 when I was in college. I got a pull up bar and some athletics rings a few years ago. I haven't had a regular gym membership in years. I can do 80% of what I want at home. It helps my mood a lot to do 6 sets of 12 pull ups and dips twice a week. Start simple.
