I did a boxing class before realizing how nice it would be today. Getting really tired of shadowboxing but they just announced my gym would be reopening including open gym, which has been closed for a year :c00l:

I think the gyms around here are somewhat open? I always a small number of cars in the lot.

I'm sure it's better at smaller gyms but at the larger chains people are absolutely disgusting and don't wipe anything down so i'm very nervous about going back.

Maybe they're closed again, I know Inslee reissued a lockdown a couple months ago.

The boxing gym was open all summer. We had to sign in, take temperature, wear masks through the entire class, etc. The gym had two giant warehouse doors and those were always open for fresh air, and we did as much outside as we could. Also all the equipment we used was sanitized afterwards (medicine balls, etc, that's why no open gym since it would be impossible to keep everything sanitary).

We didn't have a single case until right before the re-lockdown in November when cases were going up across the country, and that was just an alert that someone who had been in had tested positive, no idea if it was transmitted at the gym, the masks really do seem to work.

Actually you owe me 6! But who's countin?

I bought some resistance bands in hopes I could do my old routine of Back/Biceps, Chest/Triceps, Legs/Shoulders/Abs/Misc for MWF respectively. However my doors do way too much stretching when being used as anchor points that I don't feel comfortable using them in this rent house.


Anyone have any good places for resistance band workouts using little to no anchor points?

You can yourself as an anchor for most things.

I fell and hurt my back pretty bad so I'm behind schedule on setting up stuff in the basement, but Amazon is now hitting me with ads for lat pulldown cable machines that you can mount on the squat rack and I'm once again salivating at getting one or even two to turn into a row machine

hopefully I didn't crack my back, I have a ski trip coming up in 5 weeks.

I want to start biking again in spring but I can already feel my inability to follow routines loving me over, also planning on some mountain hiking in march, for now I'm just running around forests shooting airsoft guns few times a month and walking everywhere instead of using car or public transport, not much but it's something, right?
Mountain biking rules. I started it up again once COVID shut down all the climbing gyms. I live in Kent in the UK so I'm not exactly surrounded by huge mountains or anything but I've had a ton of fun exploring and found loads of trails in woods and stuff near me to do a little noob-level shredding.











Riding in the mud is still fun but man I can't wait for spring

booked some gym time tonight. Can't let the risk of covid keep me down forever, especially since I have Hank Hill-rear end genetics. Or Hank Hill rear end-genetics. I'm not going to start wearing suspenders, that's for sure

Way cooler than what I'm doing, though I do have 3 boxing classes in a row starting tomorrow, since in person stuff is back in Seattle (masked up and distanced, of course)

I did take a quick motorcycle ride today though to enjoy the weather, not really relevant to this thread but uh I had to heave the bike out of the muddy back yard so that counts as exercise right?

Never could stick with journaling. Trying to keep it simple this time around.

Pro tip: if you've gotten fat and are restarting weights, be careful doing any sort of clean or snatch motion, because you can hit yourself in the gut with the bar and it will hurt.
