If you weighed 100 lbs, you might not think it was that bad either.

So you did it 200 push ups, then 100 hand stand push ups and 300 squats?
100hspu, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats
I ran about 7.5min miles. Broke the hspus up into a 10x10 with 20ish second rests

I train with 531. I have not been able to train for more than a month because of some small thing called COVID19. I am getting fat and weak. I am looking for a routine to be able to do with body weight inside my apartment. I do not have equipment even to do pull ups.
The maximum I could get is an equipment to rolling abs.
Eat less. I’m sure most people are snacking a little more than usual. I sure am. It’s got a pretty simple (but not necessarily easy) solution.
Read through this: Home Workout Without Equipment?
There’s been more threads than that too. I’m not sure if you will exact programs detailing basically pushups, air squats, lunges, and ab work but just do something. A few coaches have also written articles by now too.

The aforementioned Murph might be a good way to go.
10,000 Kettlebell swing challenge?
Options are limited and you won’t be setting weight PRs like with 5/3/1 o you have to change your mindset. Set rep, volume, and time PRs instead

This is exactly what I’ve started doing. Very little equipment required and gives something different to work on
The 10000 is awesome. I was at about 6000 before the gym closing.
I would like to ask about running.
What would be the most effective for weight loss?
30-40 mins jogs
200-400m circuits
50-60m sprints
Or should one combine all of these?
How would a reasonable workout with running look like? How many times per week? 3-5 or maybe even 6?
Lets say I do 2x LISS, 2 x intervals and 2x sprints?
Additionally for lower body work it seems that running is almost sufficient to keep some muscle and power. Would adding lunges be actually enough? For your weekly work?
I have a 10kg weight left from my grandfather. It seems like I will be able to manage to do some arms and shoulders with it.
How about chest work? Push ups are enough?
Back? Pull ups enough?
Late to the party, but Dan John’s complexes (technically they’re Javorek’s and Cosgrove’s) with bands are also a great option.
Sure, you have to change the lifts somewhat and probably increase the rep range but they’re a great option nevertheless.
My favorite complex routine is:
Deadlift
Romanian deadlift
Bent over row
Front Squat
Military press
Overhead squat
Good Morning
12 reps each, 2 minutes rest between sets.
And if you’re using bands, use gloves. Bands aren’t like a barbell, they’ll cut your hands with prolonged usage, especially the thicker ones.

A nasty little work out is 100 goblet squats (with 50% body weight or near as possible) and 100 press ups for time. Done in a ladder to and then back from 10. Although I start and end with 3 sets of 5. Ie 5-5-5-6-7…6-5-5-5
I’ve tried twice.
Failed to record a time 1st out as I under estimated the challenge and went out too quick.
2nd time out I managed 15mins 5 seconds. Which I’m quite upset buy. Really highlighted some conditioning issues.
I am looking to do some cardio during the quarantine. However, I do not want to destroy my muscles. I know it is not as effective as strenght training with a barbell, but is there some type of cardio with dumbell mix?
Cardio will not destroy you.
It depends on what your goal is. You can get strong without a barbell.
Yes. Do you have dumbbells? Follow a similar plan to whatever you used to do, and add in whatever form of cardio you want. It’s really pretty simple.
What are your goals? Cardio can mean different things. Do you want to really improve your “work capacity?” You may be looking at something more akin to conditioning. Are you looking to improve endurance? Maybe you should go for a run. Just trying to improve general health markers? Maybe an easy bike ride or walk will do the trick.
It definitely is possible to do both cardio and strength training, but it depends on what equipment you have available and what your goals are.
i am gettings some pounds during my quarantine. Maybe fat burn?
Are there any hills nearby your location?
You may have mentioned it but what’s your height & weight?
Read a bunch of the stuff from EliteFTS, “100+ Stay-at-Home Workouts and Exercises”. Some require dumbbells and kettlebells. Others require bands. And then there are a bunch featured that require no equipment and offer a great fat-loss aspect as well.
I’ve been doing a lot of this stuff as well as John Meadows stuff.
