My gym closed mid march but conveniently Jeff put out what looks like fairly comprehensive, no equipment (except furniture) bodyweight workout
youtu.be/vc1E5CfRfos
I've been on it consistently for the last 7 weeks, 3 days a week. On "rest" days, when I'm truly feeling rested, I'm weaving in alan thrall's warmup youtu.be/s9Tcj0YK5zM + running (less than a mile because I'm a chunky chicken) + a light kickboxing training routine.
I like Jeff's workout because it is amrap for 1 min per exercise with everything superset, keeping things moving and minimizing total workout time. That gives me the option to either pace myself or push depending how well I'm maintaining my form which I feel decreases the chance of injury. You are supposed to repeat each workout 3 times but I'm usually gassed by the end of the first set. But I'm feeling good enough now that I'll be attempting 2 sets starting next week and we will see how it goes.
My "equipment" is 2 folding chairs, an old yoga mat, a 5' length of 1.5" diam pvc for the seated pull, and a small notebook where I wrote down the exercises+notes because they are too many for me to remember. I use a weight bench for step ups, hip bucks, and reverse hypers but if I didn't have that I could improvise. The back deck has a fixed planting bench for the dragonflies but if I didn't have that I would move inside and use a couch leg.
I've been waking up at 0400 and usually on back deck between 0430 and 0500. The morning air is invigorating and there is something primal about physical activity under the stars. Jogging down a trail in nearly pitch black when there is no moon also really sharpens your senses and makes you hyper aware of the surroundings.
If anyone watches the video and has some ideas about the workout or questions I would be happy to entertain them.
