January47 Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 Slightly off topic.Clearing out the garage and found kids old skipping rope. If like me you only have a bit of patio to exercise on it’s really useful. Maybe worth having a look for others. be warned though it’s really hard work.

rachhere Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 I am far too uncoordinated for skipping ropes! Sounds a good idea though. I am a big fan of the Fitnessblender you tube work outs - they have some apartment/small space friendly ones: https://www.fitnessblender.com/articles/apartment-friendly-workouts-that-pack-a-punch-workout-videos-for-apartments-small-spaces

Looks interesting, have been thinking of buying some weights for a while but idk My main source of proper exercise is swimming but cant do that now so looking for alternatives. Flatmate has a Peloton thing cluttering the place that I could use but don't fancy it much

VLC86 Posted 29 March 2020 Posted 29 March 2020 I’ve said on other threads, I’m back doing Insanity Max 30 which is an excellent work out with no equipment other than a floor matt. It’s pretty grim going every day but it really lifts my mood for the day knowing I’ve managed to get through it. Also, it’s a 2 month programme so it gives you an end goal.

Might give this a go mate, cheers! Been looking at dumbbells to carry on weights training, but I don’t fancy paying £50 for two 15kg dumbbells. Does anyone know where I can get cheaper or am I going to have to lump it with the going price?

I think if you google Beach Body the first couple of weeks are free at the minute. https://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/on-demand-workout-videos.do

There'll be a big divide: 1 - the exercisers. They've been out every day in the glorious sunshine so they'll have a bit of a tan and a great set of legs 2 - the pasta hoarders. They've eaten pretty much only carbs since the first week of February so will have been extremely lethargic, done no exercise and will have clammy blotchy white skin, and put on a stone or two. Can't wait to see the state of my office in a couple of months.

In this current climate, it's difficult to get hold of any weights for a half decent price - most seemed to go at the same time as the toilet paper. I ended up buying some weights a little over a week ago, and even then most places were saying "out of stock".

I saw the Amazon ones, but they were saying the 5th of May, so I gave up on that. The checkout on the ones above doesn't seem to be working at the minute.
