Join a gym. Free weights are cheap. Do some curls while you're on a call. Balance ball instead of a chair. Jumping jacks don't require equipment.

- John23832 4y agoThat’s not the type of movement that will keep you healthy though. Proper biomechanics requires that you move, a lot. Lifting weights while not actually moving around enough actually puts you at risk for injury and imbalances because your body isn’t progressing through proper range of motion enough.
- barry-cotter 4y agoStarting Strength uses compound lifts that go through the full range of motion for that reason. It takes ~3 hours a week. I’m sure doing cardio a lot would be better again but you can get a big improvement going from sedentary to three hours of vigorous exercise a week.
- John23832 4y agoI get it. I’m a fan of starting strength (though not really of mark riptoe). But the background context of the book is a precovid world where “sedentary” had a much different connotation than it does today.
