It can be what you want it to be--once a week, three times a week, or every day. It doesn't hit any muscle group hard enough to require specific rest.

That equinox membership going to waste with these quarantines. #firstworldproblems

I think I read somewhere Quinn goes to the Equinox in the flatiron. God I'd love to even go for a day but they probably have bouncers who'd smell the poverty off me asap

Good to know! I don't have really much that would help a home gym. Fiancee got a set of a pair of 1/3/5lb weights, but what you posted can be easily done without it, or a huge change of space and whatnot.
Once we move, I think we're going to try to get a personal trainer, but in the meantime...whatever helps, ya know?

Rod Gilbert was a regular at my old Equinox and he was just the nicest guy. He'd chirp me and tell stories, then head to the Garden for his ambassadorship and I'd head to a bar to watch the game on TV.

There are always things you can do, wod style. You can do amraps (as many reps as possible) within a time frame or a numerical count for time. So say the rep scheme is 21-15-9. So pick some movements, say burpees, v ups, air squats and then run through the numbers. You can also do tricep dips on chair or sofa. Or heck, grab a broom and you can do overhead squats.

So I did a makeshift steps exercise using an IKEA folding step stool with dumbbells in hand. Tweaked my back. I think the step may have been too high and I compressed or pinched something. Put me out 4 days. Didn't do a thing for 7 just to make certain I was fine. Just used some of Hemsworth's moves in my 50-min workout.

Got a Peloton last week. The resistance knob was chipped. The back of the screen was scratched. The back of the bike was scratched. A screw was missing. But other than that ... it’s great!
Good customer support too: they’re sending a new one once quarantine is over and refunding me the delivery / setup costs.

Will look him up! Big fan of Ben Alldis — and not just because he reminds me of the hilarious James Kennedy.

Nice! Then I’ll definitely check out Cody. There’s one female trainer who is white good as well, but she covers her body in glitter for some reason, white is quite distracting.

This exactly. Peloton got my girlfriend and I to lower our weapons before the apartment turned into a bad day in Baghdad.
You don’t realize how important physical exercise is until you’re forced to go without it.

There is an athletic park across the street with smooth concrete basketball courts. I just re-upped my lease for another 24 months and am developing an urge to buy roller hockey gear and take advantage.
My wishlist right now is Bauer Vapor 2XR skates, CCM Tacks 4R Lite gloves, CCM Ribcor Trigger 4 sticks, and a pile of green biscuits.

I've had mine since January. I used to be in tip top shape playing hockey into my late 40s. After tearing my ACL, I basically just walked and occasionally ran a little. My treadmill at home wasn't doing it for me anymore. I joined a gym, but then developed a wrist problem requiring surgery (that I haven't had yet) so no weights and quit the gym. I had gained about 20 pounds doing not much physically. My gf says, let's get a Peloton, so I bought one over Xmas.
I was so out of shape that on my first ride, I stopped at the 18 minute mark because my heart was going through the roof. My cardio fitness has improved a lot in three months. I was only able to sleep 2 hours last night, so I got up and burned 600 calories in a 45 minute ride this morning. It's probably not doing much for the rest of my body, but I've lost those 20 pounds ever since. I like it. It feels like a hard workout. I lay on the ground after a lot of my rides like the old fool that I am. Not a big fan of the music though. A lot of the modern music is crap, but I occasionally find some good older tunes. The Weezer class was fun.
