Re: Ask HN: How are you exercising at home?
#2I live by a trail and run 5-8 miles whenever the weather is nice.
But inside my home... I have a pull up bar in a doorframe, a bench with some dumbbells, and an ab wheel.
I basically stick to the same routine I was doing at the gym, with the exception of more running.

#3I have been going back to doing bodyweight workouts. Did them during last winter/spring and jumped to powerlifting in the summer. I am following this[0] routine and have been doing it three times a week plus some running or biking from time to time

#5Double kettle bell complex: cleans, military press, front-squats.
A free standing pull up bar. Randomly do 2-3 pull ups through out the day.
Pushups.
kettle bell swings.
Loaded carries through the house. Waiter walks, farmers carry, racked carry.
No long cardio specific training, but the heart gets worked.

#6I have an exercise bike to which I added a tablet (an old bookshelf plank I had lying around) on which I can put my laptop. It’s pretty hard to type but it’s perfect for conf calls and a bit of light document reading. I have a lot more conf calls since we went into lockdown so I can manage at least 30 minutes of biking every day while sitting in meetings. I have never gotten so much exercise so regularly!
I also do HIIT (high-intensity interval trainings), which is basically series of body weight exercises (burpee, squat, sit-up, etc.). Doesn’t require anything except some room and a video or training guide to follow.

How can you possibly bike while in a meeting and still make a meaningful contribution? I

#8I use two 15 pound dumbbells and perform a full body workout with them, using exercises I learned a while back. You'll be surprised how far you can go with just a pair of dumbbells and good lifting form.

#9Six days in a row I do 100 diamond pushups, 100 shoulder pushups, 100 squats, and 100 leg raises. I rest one day a week. I started at 10 reps and each week and worked to 100. It’s easy, and requires no equipment. Bike rides for cardio.

How would you rate your overall fitness? Is this a lean, defined build? Do you think it helps with things like hiking endurance?
Just trying to get an idea where that would take me.
