I've done yoga for about a year and love it. For those of you who have studios closed check out Power Yoga Canada on FB. They are posting a few videos a day.

I went yesterday after work; only 10-15 cars in the parking lot. It was nice and empty, so I was able to get a good chest day in without having to wait on anyone, since we all know that Mondays are International Chest Day. I've got my back workout tonight, so we'll see how this goes.

Welp, gotta eat my words. Called my gym at 1:30pm yesterday and confirmed that they were open for the foreseeable future. Then get a notification around 3pm that all of the gyms nationwide (YouFit) were closing indefinitely on 3/17/20 at 2pm.

Needless to say, went for a long run. My wife has already been looking up home workout routines for us to do a leg day together this afternoon.

My gym is closed until the 1st....for now. I understand why but damn if this isn't inconvenient. I'm in the middle of a bulk and aside from a little belly fat I've picked up, I've been pleased with the progress.

I did buy and install a chin up bar 2 weeks ago so I'll be using the hell out of this thing for a couple of weeks. Anyone have any pointers on shoulder exercises for for a chin up bar.

Eh, not much you can do for shoulders w/ a chin-up bar. Hand stand push-ups, pike push ups, cherry pickers. Tough muscle to single out with just bodyweight. I'd pick up a some 15-20lb DBs that way you can do some raises.

I may stop by the store and pick up some dumb bells on my way home tonight. Surely the hoarders haven't taken a shine to home gym equipment yet.

Plus you can use the dumbbells as added weight if needed when doing pull-ups!

Office gym is staying open, but no tanning facility

So I looked up some home work outs last night and came across a calisthenics channel on youtube. Have any of you guys tried this? Thoughts? Opinions?

I will, most likely, buy some parellettes and some other equipment in the next few days and try my hand at this.

Below is one of the videos that has piqued my interest.

Haven't tried it. Looks difficult from what I've seen in the past haha. Didn't watch that video since I'm at work, but will later most likely.

I've used the principles in the past to break "sticking points" in the gym. Like on bench....pushing up on the bar in a rack where it won't move past a certain point. Stuff like that focusing on static contraction.

I always came away sore from those types of workouts. I've seen these videos in the past.

I think it's effective as some of the most effective exercises involve moving your body through space. That's been proven!

Plus it really works your core.

The hoarders have made it to gym equipment now, at least here in Houston. Gyms here have to close tomorrow night so i had been lucky so far. Searched 4 stores before I could find dumbbells other than a scattering of random weights.

I was afraid of this. Considering the people in this town spend more time and effort trying to get out of doing anything versus just doing it, I'm hoping I'm able to find a few things.

Ordered some parellettes yesterday and looking at buying some rings today. Did my first calisthenics workout last night and really enjoyed it. Got a way better workout in than what I expected. Buying the chin up bar was one of my better investments so far this year.

Yard work and yoga will be it for a while, probably. Maybe if the water stops falling from teh sky, I can run/bike.

Hey, I'm sure MKSixer can provide some better "calisthenics" videos, along with a hot babe doing them.

(yes, this is how these things SPREAD)

Much like a pandemic, it is spreading to all corners of Bimmerpost

No gym

Doing home calisthenics..........well the best that I can

[lsturbointeg]

Doing home workouts. Yesterday I did shoulders just using these dumbbells I bought for my kids a few years ago. Tonight I'm doing arms. Amazing what kind of movements you can do with just dumbells, pushups, tricep push ups and sitting tricep pushes

[1MOREMOD]

Yep did shoulders yesterday and arms today also
