Who likes to workout?

[Klaustasya]

It's been already one year since i started doing workout at home.
At first i was just following some youtube workouts like Chloe Ting, Pamela Reif etc etc...
After summer i switched to weight lifting & i was intentioned to go to the gym for the first time in my life, but then COVID appeared again and boohoo no Gym Now i joined an online bodyweight program (paid) of 3 months to start again with the help of a professionist, mainly because i'm hardly constant with training sessions so i joined it more to learn about self-discipline ^^ How about you? Do you workout?

Considering the fact that on my perfect day, I am writing all day, I need to train somewhat so every day, I do a simple workout before sleep and it somehow keeps me in shape so... Can't complain

[Legendofgenii]

I’ve been doing Zumba (it’s on Amazon Prime). Does that count?

I was 74KG in June and felt a bit meh (I comfort eat A LOT). I’ve stopped eating Mayonnaise (my weakness) and unhealthy snacks. I’ve been exercising when I can and now I’m down to 58KG (57KG is my goal).

I’ve never had this much energy or been this healthy before. My asthma is a lot better too.

A couple years ago I decided to quit smoking and start working out as part of a mid-midlife crisis. Now I do press ups and pull ups every morning and evening and go jogging with my dogs everyday. It's been pretty rewarding actually, as I feel like I have more energy in general and I'm no longer just sleepy all the time. Plus I quit my super physical retail job and do something a bit more slow paced now so needed to do something to balance it out.
Also, thank God I quit smoking before Covid hit as people panic bought the usual brand I liked!

[Klaustasya]

Woah! This is amazing! Congrats!!

[Klaustasya]

I honestly admire you because even though i train 4 hours a week i can't quit smoking XD i'm so addicted haha

I love my recreation centre, and go almost every day. Over the years, as I grew older and injuries happened, I had to lighten the workouts toward what I can do rather than train. Weightlifting had always been my favourite, but my excersise tolerance is crap now, so I have worked out the perfect schedule of skating, swimming, lifting and elliptical for my long winter break, only for the gyms to shut down where I live due to COVID till January 11th.

So, I am back to the basement and hating it, because of the zero motivation at home. Like, the moment I walk in the gym, it lifts my mood... at home, it’s so bloody boring and pointless. I am a bit depressed atm about it,

If only we had snow at least, so I could go ski in the neighbourhood....

But nope, also no dice. At least it got a bit warmer, so we could go for a walk yesterday, but stupid COVID bloody closures are bloody stupid.

I either do Tai Chi or Yoga for at least 10 min in the morning -- it both helps with balance,flexibility and relaxes the mind ^^

I love working out I've been exercising for years now but I got more into lifting (other than just using a couple machines after a run here and there) about 2 years ago now. I powerlifted up until covid hit and I beat the rush to get workout supplies so I was able to get some modular dumbbells and more recently I grabbed some resistance bands. I put on 10 pounds of muscle in the first couple months of covid but now life events have made me slow down so now it's mostly just about maintaining. I decided recently that I wanted to work my core out more and chisel out my abs better so I start every workout with an intense ab circuit first. Once you get passed the self-discipline phase it becomes a habit. I feel physically worse when I don't work out because I'm used to feeling a certain tightness in my muscles and body. I'm not massive by any means. I'm only about 165-170 pounds. But it's noticeable when you get used to feeling a certain way. It also just becomes something to enjoy and be proud of. good on you for keeping up on it and not giving it a month and stopping like so many.

There's a Planet Fitness near me where I like to do some weight training, and there's barely anybody there. Since I don't go to the gym too often, especially now that they might be shut down again, I've been doing home workouts!

I really enjoy using elastic bands to get in some strength and conditioning, as well as doing HIIT (high-intensity interval training) to get my cardio in.

[sushy00]

I don't like working out but I have to do it for my health. I went to the gym but now the gym is closed because of Covid so I will have to try to work out at home again...

[WillowTree]

I enjoy yoga And bike riding. Running is a hard pass though lol.

I want to get the velocore bike for winter cardio but I'm not in a place to drop $1600 on a workout machine

[Teira]

I love to bike ride, if you consider that a workout.

[OffBased]

I used to work out a lot more than I do now. I was in marching band at school for awhile, so that had me doing a lot of cardio and upper body exercises just to keep up.
My mom and I went biking once a week this summer and that’s how I really got to know how out of practice I was lol

[Puck]

The first thing I always do in the morning is pushups,
I used to go the gym but the gym is closed, used to be into running and
tried swimming.
I´ll set a new goal for 2021, something like getting to 100 pushups every
morning. I hope the gym opens again at some point

[UrMom]

Just got back from the gym this morning, did an hour or weight lifting. Luckily my tiny town's single gym is managed to stay open since it's a necessity, and the owners are excessively clean.

Even though you haven't been able to hit the gym yet it's cool you're still keeping up with exercise! My old job with the military made exercise a mandatory thing, we had annual PT test that we had to pass, or we ran the risk of being discharged. Exercise became a habit, and a bit of a comfort. I feel gross when I don't get to exercise for a week or so.

[domisotto]

Our reccenter complied with all the requirements, including the strict spacing, sign up times via app for 1 hour slots only once per day, wavers, 25% capacity, cleaning and everything else, but everything is shut down because of COVID.

[FritzC]

I like running! It also helps my ADHD if I get out and do some exercises to i try to do it regularly but I often forget because I get distracted

[UrMom]

That SUCKS! I really feel for you all who's gyms are closed. I'm not sure if ours is going by any requirements other than being super clean, but the upside to being in a small town is everyone is a little more lax on that stuff... which is also the downside, but most of the town is made up of compromised old people, and they'll look at you like you're the devil if you even get within 100 feet of them.

I've pretty much always worked out. I lean towards chubby and have all my life. At one time I was dancing (professionally) but also doing karate and training for bodybuilding competition.

Through the years that all tapered off and just maintenance type stuff now. I can't go to a gym because I over challenge myself (I used to bench press my body weight and the highest free weight leg press was 250) and end up injured (ripped hamstring, blown elbow)

I found a group on youtube called "All Blanc" and they've got a host of good exercises that can be modified if you have to.

Right now I stupidly injured myself doing some sword fight choreography for my fantasy novels so I'm down for a couple of weeks. Otherwise I work out about an hour a day 7 days a week.
