I keep saying I need to get back into the gym… I should really get back into the gym.

Who needs a gym? Just put your bag on and do squats. Deadlift a 2U server. Improvise.

You might be on to something.

Pulling cable, no joke, was a great forearm workout.

No, they have abysmal bandwidth!

The ones for your legs are pretty wide

Squats and back extensions are the golden combination against back problems caused by desk jobs.

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 2 points 3 weeks ago

Agree! I got a yoga mat and that was the key for me to start exercising. Even a quick workout is better than no workout.

you don't need a gym for core strength

literally do pull-ups with bicycle kicks. if you also rotate the bicycle kicks so your legs so to the left or right side of you it'll increase the amount of energy you're using giving better results.

it's hard... but gets easier. strength>bigger muscles.

yes, it's almost as important as the workout itself.

There’s always the classic sit-ups/crunches. And bridges will work your legs a bit too.

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

yes! they work very well also just make sure to fully compress the abs otherwise you're not really doing much.

many people do half situps or crunches and it's just burning energy with minimal to zero actual core gain

I found this really helpful, and you can do it at home.

The lecture is in German, but you can still see the exercises.

I have a little incline bench and some adjustable dumbbells, that and my body weight (on a yoga mat for dead bugs and glute bridges) have been getting me in shape. You can do a lot of exercises with just that small investment and space commitment. Definitely do the core and back workouts you need (I used to have chronic upper back pain too).
