I've recently subscribed to a home fitness thing, not sure how long I'll keep it for though.
Once the sun's out properly, I will be back in my lycra out on my bike again. |

"For me, at the moment it’s yoga and walking.
How about you?"
It clearly works, you look great on it. Cycling would be my main exercise but at the mercy of the weather. I go for a stiff walk each day. I have a set route that I must do in 31 minutes. So good for my legs but need to do something for upper body. |

Currently very little. But this week I’ve picked the weights back up with a view to getting back on the bike, then ultimately back to pull-ups and climbing again once I lose the extra lockdown beef. |

Thai Boxing. Yes, even at my age.
Best thing I've ever done for fitness, toning and all round flexibility. Until lockdown came along, of course.
Now I feel like the oldies in Cocoon.  |

Me too. I was absolutely loving it, hoping I can get back to it soon. |

We used to swim but covid put paid to that. Now I walk, use the static bike and when I feel like it (which isn't that often) do yoga. I do a lot of gardening as long as its not raining and have been known to shovel ballast to mix cement and other builder's mate tasks but I don't count that as exercise |

"I get out with my dog every day and now the weather is improving, I've started running again.
I bought some resistance bands - they're sat in the room, looking at me

Resistance bands are great, I love mine |

At the moment, not enough! It's mainly horse riding and any wheelchair pushes I can get in when the weather isn't horrific.
In normal times, I go to the gym mainly to lift weights (seated or reclined). I play wheelchair basketball competitively. I join a local road running club on 5 or 10k "runs" - they run and I push. In the summer, I took myself on long off road adventures in the chair for 5 or 6hrs at a time (very challenging in a manual chair!) |

To answer the question, not enough.
My work is physical, so last week was tough after 3 months doing less because of home schooling.
Its better this week, so been walking as well, cant wait for the gyms to reopen so I can start swimming again though x |

Ha ha. I bought some a while back, I went to use them the other day only to find they'd perished . I didn't realise I'd ignored them that long! |

I do pilates and yoga every week. Trying to do pilates twice a week when I can. I walk daily and sometimes cycle.
Now that it's getting nicer I'll start doing more. I had definitely lost my mojo the last few months. Really looking forward to the pools being open again as I love to swim laps also. |

"Currently just walking (flat +incline)
Can't wait for the gym to reopen
I can’t wait for the gym to open for you, I bloody hate the gym  "
I love it! It is my headspace, my inspiration.. The place where I push myself harder.. Where i can sweat and strain and not feel self conscious, where i can set goals and know i can achieve them!
I am trying to find a new gym buddy  |

Riding is harder than it looks though isn’t it.
The manual wheelchair must be a good workout? |

Started running again, currently just under 3km (I was running Marathons a few years ago) non stop but I’m gradually getting back into the flow of it again.
I was a stop starter last year, so I need a race to keep me motivated. |

Walking is a very underestimated exercise |

Horse riding is definitely more than just sitting there, yes. Something non riders don't realise
The chair can be a good workout yes, but it's also a pain in the arse in wet weather, on broken/pot holed pavements, where there's no dropped kerbs etc. It can be very annoying |

Walking- I do about 7 miles a day at the moment
Yoga every other day
Weights every other day
120 squats each day.
That will drastically reduce once I get back to full time work next month though. |

"Cycle to work everyday and 1 hour cardio workout 3 times per week.
Not enough people cycle to work, if I worked distance away I would cycle.
Some people are unable to cycle  "
This is true |

I am unfair and incredibly lazy arsed fuck when it comes to structured exercise. I just can’t bring myself to do it. I find it dull.
I swim when I’m up early enough, really not very far and definitely not fast. I walk to and from work each day which is a 5mile round trip, but that’s it.
I need a gym Dom, someone to encourage me in an exercise routine

Not enough, I'm a truck driver so sit on my fat ass for 13/15 hour's a day, but do try and walk to the off-licence and chippy in the evening. Will be back on the bike soon, but it does have a 900cc engine so maybe can't count that, sexersise as often as possible and too much wanking all in all fit for nothing lol  |

I owned 2 slendertones and just found they weren't powerful enough, not sure if it was them or me which was broken. |

Today 28,686 steps, emptied loads of barrows of horse crap, piss and straw, carried the water containers and emptied the old unused, layed new straw and carried about 60 feed buckets to fields.
Oh and swept the stables
No real need for gyms or home workouts |

"Walks, 3 day splits for strength training and crossfit wods for conditioning everyday 
So disappointed that you didn't mention any barbell exercises  "
Missed a trick there didn't I!? But I detest rack pulls so at least I've mentioned one barbell exercise |

I don't drive so walk everywhere.
Do go to the gym when they are open, love swimming , ice skating and am known to ride a horse once in a while.
My passion is Jive tap dancing which I'm rubbish at but enjoy.
Wow just realise I sound super fit but I'm totally not

Why would you do this?
Tbh its a bit mixed up...
Do your back workouts on another session to your shoulders for a start...why stop at 8 reps for all those exercises..
Pullups...and bodyweight stuff gor that matter...go to failure each set..your body and CNS can recover fast with bodyweight.
Alternate and give body parts a few days rest...do your main compound exercises then if you want throw in somr fillers...you really wont need much if any core work if your hitting your compound moves with alot of intensity and weight...hope this helps

No I just do it to fend off injury. Definitely find it helps in that regard. |

Paid through the nose for some kit before lockdown 2 but I'm a self employed PT and get no furlough, so it's been worth it as I can at least take PT sessions outside. As well as been able to keep training myself. I really think I'd of lost it completely this time around had I not got any kit.
