Weights and exercise equipment was unobtainable in early 2020 in the UK I wanted to buy some just before the lockdown but my GF said it would be silly.
Pull ups and some body weight exercise was the best I could do and honestly it wasn’t easy to keep going and I have found myself turning from a 6 day PPL to a couch potato especially during the 2nd lockdown.
I still run 5K 3-4 times a week and did a 10K run every other week but it wasn’t enough to prevent weight gain and muscle loss over nearly a year of interruption due to lockdown.
The biggest factor was also the lack of daily mobility I went down from 21K Aveo daily steps in 2019 to less than half of that in 2020 and early 2021.
You’ll be surprised just how much you lose from really only having to walk from the bed to your desk in the living room or spare bedroom for a year.
