Are you exercising?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Did really well the first week, and not bad last week. Will have to see how this one goes. If it's sunny, I'm more inclined to go out and exercise. I can exercise inside but there's not a lot of space. |

"Nowhere near as much as we should be  "
Yes about 3-6 hrs a day more than usual
Just rigged a back workout using slabs ramp and lawn roller
New cheat anhialator is fall onto bar about 35 cm off ground slow the negative then push back to standing
That and shags silly press up challenge 
Some wise ass also suggested incremental planks
Along side epic walks and chopping logs moving slabs

Yes, doing some bodyweight exercises at home and using some household items as well (chair, medicine ball etc).
Did try jogging but it gives my knee a bit of grief after a while so I may try to invest in a cheap bike if the weather stays good. |

"I'm doing a lot of road cycling, a lot more than I was before.
Just got home from a gentle 2 and a half hour cycle..... Strava is addictive!!"
Strava is brilliant isn’t it? Seeing friends workout motivates me and the challenges are good too  |

"Yes. Struggling to find routine and a programme, but yes"
Couch to 5k? We may well be indoors for 9 weeks and I’d definitely recommend. Assuming you don’t already run |

Honestly strava is potentially deadly
I mountain bike gnarly routes and trying to beat a downhill time will most likely lead to my demise after the lock down
Fucking strava  |

Walking. Planking. Alternating between beginner yoga and some exercises app. Probably not enough to lose weight but hopefully enough to stop me from putting on  |

"Whilst on lockdown????
Define exercise? I do 1 sit up a day in the morning when I get out of bed, does that count?
No "
Good thing I'm still working and have a relatively physical job then  |

"Trying to learn how to do a hand-stand ( failing miserably)"
I'll be blunt
While you are trying you are absolutely not failing you are succeeding
It's only if you stop that you fail
Are you doing the headdstand first or against wall method
I'd recomend daily 1m headstand followed by hand stand against wall then headstanding with attempting solo hand stand
But most of all just enjoy falling over

I am trying but lack of motivation. I am normally in the gym 5 days a week. Stuck at home with my 2 kids who dont want to come out on their bikes as I run, or fight of I do, now my 11yr old has a cast on since last week as he broke a few bones in his wrist after fallinf off his bike the previous week.
I am going to start getting up early like 8am for a run before they are fully awake. There is a local green I can run around. I really miss the gym. Have kettlebells at home so all is not lost but I am such a creature of routine and my routine is all over the shop!!

Skipping,stances,stretching,... nothin' major, approx 40 mins in the morning before work,but enough to raise the heart beat and stay supple some bit ,that and try to watch what l eat, which l think is a big part of staying some way fit. |

Run and cycle on alternating days. The routes I use are very quiet and I rarely see any people.
If they ban it, then I’m sorry, but I’ll still go out. I work hard and need an escape for an hour; exercise does that for me |

Finding it hard to do anything physical. Working full time from my laptop, trying to keep my kids from going crazy, not tons of room for a home workout.
Any tips? |

Yes, bit weird having nothing to train for though. Running home from work a couple of times a week, commuting to and from work on the bike at least one a week and some evening walks. Lucky to be near fields and also be able to run home from work along routes that make social distancing quite easy. Not doing much on a weekend as it's too busy and glad to get a rest from work |
