I've done a 30-30-30 workout with body weight and dumbbells. It's 30 seconds of lowering, 30 seconds lifting, 30 seconds of lowering. I first saw it on 21 Studios. https://youtu.be/7H9XgNfx0h0

Here's an example of Dr. Darden's workout. https://youtu.be/PxKJ6-FyUCk

This workout caused me about as much muscle soreness as my current 5x5. Just try a push up. Start at the top-lowering should take 30 seconds - pushing up should take 30 seconds - then lowering for 30 more seconds.

r / bodyweightfitness recommended routine - start there, move on when you get some experience

bar, rings, some weights... a lot can be done even with just floor - AthleanX has some amazing suggestions on YouTube - e.g. "dive bomber pushups" are hell, as are "sliding floor pullups"... a single weight (can be book, water bottle, backpack filled with water bottles) can do miracles, there's tons of exercises - pulling, pushing, legs - especially if done asymmetrically (e.g. lunges with weight in one hand, or suitcase walk, or one-arm overhead press with legs in lunge stance)

also yoga

Getting some gymnastic rings today, honestly looking really forward to practice with them.

Get some dumbbells, a bench, and a rack for your garage.

Source Craigslist for deals.

I personally can't work out at home because I live in an apartment with poor sound insulation...

Can't go out to jog since a permanent foot injury does not allow me to jog properly and thus affects my knees.

I am a boxer so am thinking of going out and shadowboxing, doing bodyweight work and jumping rope.

Can you jog?

Where are you at that gyms are closed?

I’m in Louisiana and I hope they stay open till at least Tommorow

Burpees, body squats, press ups etc. Pull ups will definitely help also.

If you can try and use this time to improve on your flexibility. Once the gyms re-open you'll be better equipped to go heavier with correct form.

A chinup bar that can be used for pushups will be a good option.

alchemical_rage · 2020-03-13T15:29:50+00:00

Regular push-ups, diamond push-ups, elevated push-ups for chest, triceps, shoulders.

Dips between two chairs for chest/triceps.

Sit-ups, crunches for abs. Or planks if you have low back pain.

Bulgarin Split Squats, Jumping lunges for legs. Pistol Squats if you can do them or Pistol Squats on a box/chair if you can’t go really low without losing equilibrium. Deadlifts + squats with some heavy objects instead of dumbbells. (cause it’s harder to replace a barbell)

Pull-ups for your back + biceps.

Get in yoga till then. Will boost immunity, flexibility. Can only see benefits.

Also, other option is doing natural exercises like pushups, squats, jumping etc.

That's why you buy a rack, bar, and some weights.
