Whoa, that is brilliant and I have a ton of heavy duty trash bags. Thanks!
My work schedule is ridic, but hopefully the live workouts will be watchable anytime afterwards. Looking forward to it!
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18258My job has had me running on full speed at all hours (university), and I’m also scrambling to keep myself sane and on some kind of schedule with the challenges of working from home and working out from home with too many people in a small space. I’m lucky to have this space, and count my blessings for that! I’m also very lucky that I already have some variety exercise stuff at home.
Anchoring bands will be a problem but I am confident that I can come up with some variation on the banded exercises requiring an anchor.
The over the door thing freaks me out a little. I’m not confident about my door, and I already broke a blind.
Mostly conditioning because the weights are lighter but following a squat/lower, press/upper, deadlift/lower, general conditioning sort of pattern that’s in the TFL outline. As things settle, I hope to be able to work in a little bit more from the TFL program.
Yesterday I did a goblet squat thing that did me in, sort of like the ladders. Today bands for presses, seated rows. Add in some core work. I’m finding it very helpful to keep to my usual workout schedule, frequency, and duration. My guess is that it really does not matter a whole lot, as long as I keep it going so I can jump back in at the end of all this.
Glad for the video library here, very glad.

Unfortunately, the gym has had to take more restrictive measures like “everyone has a spray bottle of disinfectant” That much stuff in the air makes me sneeze and cough. And that will get me kicked out.
I present to you my sad little home gym, although I found a couple of good extras at Walmart (the door thing and the sliders). The step is not in the picture. The “sandbag” is not super heavy bc no sand inside: I filed it with some old clothes and 4 liters of water (in old soda bottles). I have a smallish concrete driveway that I can use.

in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18250Oops, sorry about that. Apparently my internet went out and the squat video didn’t load. Will post it eventually.
Gym workouts may be coming to an end soon, just got email about many more restrictive measures put into place. I am hearing that gyms across the country are closing. Sad about the possibility but not much to do but carry on, and get creative. And stay away from other people. Thank goodness I am not into team sports.
Because I like to plan ahead:
I have some bands, a step, and a most ridiculous ab wheel. Not much room to use them in but will do whatever I can if the gym shuts down. Will try to approximate the schedule as best I can using at home exercises although clearly not gonna be close. Just want to keep it going. This might be the time to see if I can rig up some kind of DIY sandbags that can last for a little while and then toss out, if Home Depot and Walmart stay open.
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18248Row video later but for now, here is another squat video, trying to keep the upper body tighter etc.

in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18243Training update: covid edition, home alone
Campus gym is closed for three weeks starting tomorrow. Went in to grab my sanitizer wipes.
Gold’s still open, committed to extra cleaning. Yesterday this was in the form of constant spraying of something awful that made it hard to breathe. Today, it was in the form of…nothing that I could tell. Probably they used up all their cleaner yesterday. But there was plenty of paper towels and the non smelly disinfectant. I was a little horrified seeing the packed spin class. No thank you!
Today’s workout had me outside, doing suicides. On the one hand, suicides. On the other, outside all by my lonesome practicing social distancing. And it was a great day to be outside too. Except for the pollen.
Back inside for Concept 2 portion, and the functional room was very empty. I really like the Concept 2 Tabata workouts but I did not like the Concept 2 500m x 6 workout much. I’m wondering if I am doing something wrong because it killed my abs. Will go find a video later today just to make sure.
Stay safe, y’all.
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18242Thank you! I will make that adjustment next time and keep upper body as is.
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18240Any feedback on the press video? That’s the one that I feel least confident about. Thanks! It’s post #18221
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18230Thanks for the feedback, will work on this for next time!
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18222in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18221Press. Probably a million things to improve on!

in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18218Thanks for the feedback! I’ll work to incorporate that next time, and maybe I’ll get the video better too.
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18203Is this video any better?

in reply to: Block 2A exercise substitutes #18202Got it, thank you!
in reply to: Diann’s Training Progress #18149Love the new look when I log in!
Not a whole lot to report, just keeping at it and appreciate the lessened load week 3 and week 4. Lifts have gone up some, so that’s nice. I keep forgetting to bring my phone along so I can get more video.
