If we can't get outside I'm going to kill one of my kids.
Make sure it's the fastest one so you get some decent exercise in while chasing them.
Not the chubbiest to fill out the freezer?
You'll get him eventually, so may as well save him/her to when you're low on energy as well.

Sounds like you've been through this before???

I'm walking a lot - about 20-25 miles a week. We are pretty isolated so often don't see anyone which is a big plus with self-distancing.
Slight medical condition means no more daily press-ups/
squats sessions for a week or two (I'm the furthest thing from a gym-bunny imaginable.. -
Didn't see this thread originally: was in the fitness thread which I don't subscribe.
For why it's worth I parked the gym last week. Taken to early morning walks instead.
20mins from here to beach, 20 mins along then return.
Serious design fault on the return leg being rather steep hill. Which is kinda good but not enjoyable.
Issue is it's outside, without aircon, and this morning, in the rain... waiting for it to clear...

But that wonderful feeling when you crest the hill and the burning sensation changes to a self-righteous glow..

For those with kids cooped up, Joe Wickes morning fitness which is live at 9am UK time, and then available on youtube is fantastic.
Kids love it so it keeps them entertained for 30 mins or so, and they get some exercise first thing in the morning.
Highly highly recommend.

For those of you who don't know my wife is a PT. She's basically lost her job as she knows it but she and the gym owners are industrious types. So they've been looking at the whole online thing. Not before having their hopes raised and demolished first though.
Scomo said on Tuesday that 10 ppl could train together for PT and boot camp sessions, in parks. The gym has a loyal following and there were a lot of members keen to keep the gym open to a point. The very next day the local government closed all the parks...
But the online thing seems to be working. She does work out every day and then posts it to anyone that has purchased a newly created app for her gym. It seems to have worked after the first day of buy-ins. Is anyone here using a similar app or doing the online thing? I'm guessing it's more of a thing for women.

My mate is dating a PT and she's doing this, but I think they do it on some kind of subscription Youtube link.
My main exercise is walking and the odd gym session in my building, so I'm actually getting more exercise since WFH, walk in the morning before starting work, then walk mid afternoon and then work until 6ish.

Maybe just UK based, but some leads I got (from young people so on insta).
psyclelondon doing twice daily workouts
Barry's Bootcamp
The Foundry
RWLI do the plug of referring to the start post of this thread.
My son does online PT programs and has set up a starter 'at-home' package for people to try. https://www.wiredcoaching.com
He is flat out at the moment adjusting programs for existing personalised program clients.Also the gym he works out of is running their group classes via Zoom. The PTs are taking it in turn to go to work and livestream a workout. I think it is for existing members but you could always sign up for a trial. https://www.mybounce.co.uk/virtual-timetable

Did a video call workout yesterday with my gym bro. Worked really well!! Awesome to talk shit and train. Found a bunch of stuff around the property I could use. Bricks, a bit of concrete pipe and a full bbq gas cylinder that I could put a dowel through the handle for curls!
We did super sets with 30sec breaks, and about 90sec between each combo. Sore today!! -
@Paekakboyz what exercises in the ss?
-
@Bones we did 3 rounds of each of the following
Planks + push ups 30sec plank and 10 push ups
Bodyweight squats then lunges. 10/5/5 for reps
Curls + dips 15/15
Squats and lunges repeated
Planks and push ups ditto
Curls and dips again
Then 3 more planks to finish. Done in about 45min with a couple of drinks breaks.Cardio got me in the second half lol.
We are doing a chest and arms workout as a trio tomorrow and I've got a legs challenge going with a friend from work. So we are going to do squats, lunges, etc on sat.
Can't recommend it more, esp if you have a regular crew.
