There's a lot more to training than push-ups

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Still doesn't require a gym lol

[–] a_jackal@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Depends on your goals and income level. I couldn't afford to rent a place with the space for the equipment I use let alone the equipment itself. Of course training isn't required for anyone, and there's a lot you can achieve with little or no equipment, but there's a reason why people pay for gym memberships rather than simply "doing pushups at home".

Yeah, so add stretching/yoga a bit beforehand, add in some reps of crunches/situps/squats, do an hour routine like that that 2 or 3 times a week, go for a 30 minute walk/jog/run on off days.

Its... really not that hard or complicated for a person who is already in reasonabley ok health to put together a simple workout routine, that will hit most of your muscle groups, get you into decent shape.

Hell, just going for a 20 minute walk 3 times a week is I think more excercise than half adult Americans get, and that's actually significantly better than nothing.

Get some stretchy bands, do resistance training positions.

Fill up some empty milk jugs with water, do some curls.

Pretty much the only thing I think you might actually need would be a solid pullup bar, but if you're doing pushups correctly, maybe not.

Or, you could just find a place to go swimming.

Easier to get into for people who are in less good of shape, and basically works every single muscle group, if you have do a variety of strokes.

Theres 'getting into decent shape' and then there is 'bodybuilding'/'sport-specific athletic training'.

Its not very difficult or money intensive to 'get into decent shape', so long as you don't have serious pre-existing health issues.

I would wager you can emulate any exercise you do at a gym at home.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calisthenics

There is a well known method for that designed by Olivier Lafay.

It doesn't require any specific equipment and can be completely done at home.

Regular gym bro here, tried home gym for a while, didn't work for me. Main issues are:

  • progression, you have to increase difficulty over time which is difficult with no equipment
  • equipment is fucking expensive, although it may pay off after a year or 2. Resistance bands may be an alternative but restrict you in other ways
  • no pull exercises in my case, my house is fragile and I'd break things. Literally no place to attach anything to
  • I ended up not training regularly anymore because it's harder for me to maintain a routine like that. It's helpful to have a separate space for that

Overall, if you spend several hours per week with exercising, I'd recommend you use proper equipment. It's just so much nicer. Home gym can work if you have the space and routine, but not in my tiny ass apartment. Fortunately gyms are not as extractive where I live.

Also, exercise is great for you, don't listen to the haters. Gym weirdly does it for me, although it's the most boring shit. Other exercise like bouldering often even comes with other people so you can socialise.

Hey you should check out the Lafay method I mention.

It's a method without any specific equipment required.

Most of the increased difficulty is managed by how long you rest and the posture for the exercise.

That said you need something to suspend under.

The only thing you'll have issues with is the pull muscles like biceps and upper back. But a door frame pullup bar fixes the problem.

Come over to my house, I'll set you to work pulling the kudzu down out of the trees.

Most people pay for gyms to cancel it before the end of the year, it's not popular because it's smart.

Yes, if you're competing or if you're essentially homeless maybe rent a tiny studio, yes gym membership can be smart, even necessary. The shower is the biggest value you get out of a gym membership. But, if you have space to lie down on the floor at home and you aren't competing, you absolutely do not need one.
