Let's start this shit fresh. A lot of things have changed since the last Fitness thread and it's gone on long enough. At the time of this OP, my gyms throughout the world have been closed for the better part of 3 months. This, like work, forced people to start finding new ways to workout at home. So what are you fucks doing? If you were smart enough or lucky enough to find some weights and equipment before everything became sold out, you might not have had to change much. But there are plenty of options to stay fit in these times:
First off get your diet in order. This is always the key and it's been very easy to quaransnack, but you gotta tighten that shit up. I myself was having trouble sticking to my diet even before the lockdowns went into effect, so the first month for me was a bit debaucherous in terms of eating, but I slipped back into doing keto and undid the damage, but as meat shortages become a thing, I might have little choice to return to potatoes/beans.
Bodyweight exercises: The basics that you can do anywhere without equipment: Lunges, squats, push ups, pull ups. This is my preferred mode of exercise, with additional weights via backpacks and dip belts. I have a pull up bar but have been doing my routine using the bar of a swing set lounger. You can do a pull up on just about anything that you can get your hands on, from clothes line posts to swing sets to tree branches to ledges to fences and so on.
Band exercises: This has been popular replacement for weights as plates became impossible to find. You can find a million routines on youtube to simulate and replace or augment bodyweight, presses, even deadlifts.
Cardio: This is a pretty easy one to do even with social distancing. Running, walking, biking, hiking, the general stuff you can do by yourself if you have the room/time. I am lucky to have a pretty big yard so in addition to my normal routine, which includes about 5 miles of walking with loaded carries, I try to do another 4-5 miles of walking around the yard most days if weather permits. I see a lot of people walking in my neighborhood every day
Country Shit: Look, here's the deal, Jack. You gotta make do with what you have. I managed to get a couple of 45 plates just before gyms were closed, but everything else I use is what I already had laying around. Can't get an olympic bar, so I'm using a random pipe with clamps as stoppers and hanging kettlebells on the sides for ground bench presses, deadlifts, and overhead presses. I use some pikes that were used last year to keep tomato plants straight as a shorter bar for weighted carries with the kettlebells. A spare tire for carries. Push a tractor if you have one. I had to cut down a large branch and instead of chopping it up or burning it, I kept it and flip it like a large tire flip and occasionally try to carry it on my shoulders (but it's very awkward, unbalanced, and too long and also slices me up so I don't do it often) like a fucking caveman.
You gotta do what you gotta do. Don't let your gainz go to waste, brehs. Quaranbod doesn't have to mean you got fat. It's important to keep up your routines as much as you can, and modify where you have to. You might even find something new that you wouldn't have tried otherwise that works well for you. Motivation can be tough to keep up, but I make sure to do as much as possible as I can outside and in the sun. I had originally started doing them as soon as I woke up, which was still dark and cold and it was so mentally draining that I changed up my times and it changed a lot for me. I've also replaced all podcasts and music with audiobooks, keeping the books to only listen to during my workouts so I can associate the two and get excited for a workout because it means I'll be finishing or starting a new book. Many gym chains are doing free fitness classes online via facebook or youtube, you can always find yoga and stretches to do. You don't have to let the 'rona ruin your fitness routines.
