Has Staying At Home Ruined Your Exercise?

Fortunately, I have always worked out at home indoors. I am afraid of dogs. I do not want to be seen working out. I like the comfort of having my own home as a "gym". I like to do in-home walking. I like to pedal away on a fitness pedal exerciser. A team member on Sparkpeople, a fitness and nutrition website where I am a team leader, suggested to me to use podrunner.com for music. The music really does get one pumped up. The website is free and accepts donations. Don't belong to Sparkpeople.com? Why not join? I can recommend some of my favorite workout gurus... Leslie Sansone Joyce Vedral Richard Simmons I simply get bored with them though, which is where podrunner.com comes in. I workout in front of a mirror. (another tip) So, staying home to exercise is nothing new to me. How about you?

@Spontaneo I have knee pain and this makes me avoid physical exercises. I used to exercise before.

I think this is only an excuse to say staying at home will ruin the exercise. Actually we can do some exercises anytime anywhere. Trying to do more housework is a kind of exercise

Funnily enough I've just written a discussion on the problems I've had finding suitable replacement exercise routines for strength work while I'm stuck at home. My exercise routine is unrecognisable from what it was pre-lockdown. I'm running more and started doing yoga. Let's see if it helps to loosen me up a bit. I have the flexibility of a steel girder!!

I am afraid to do yoga. I did yoga one time. I went to take a shower and almost fell asleep in the shower.

I've always been one to splay tennis, golf, swim, exercise outdoors, go to the gym, and do yoga. Now I do my own routines and also follow YouTube videos.

Has not being able to do your outside activities driven you nuts?

I know right, It is more convenient to make work out inside the gym, But we have no choice though. I am just having some stretching and zumba dance at home.

I'm a loner, this has been my entire life:) I like different people, but don't buddy up with everyone. Are you still writing for an income? I want to start, but don't know where to begin.
