I bought this thing after they closed my Gym from Dick's, before the state shut down:

Best $35 I ever spent. You can do pullups and pushups. I do like 10-12 sets of pullups every other day, alternating days with pushups that I do with the kids sitting on my back. Fortunately I also have dumbbells for curls. Need to improvise these days, or go insane.
I can do sets of 10-12 pull-ups also, I just need to jump every time.

Pullups are a great exercise because you can improvise and do them in lots of different places. I've done them in the trees when camping. They're also purely a strength/weight ratio game. Just because a skinny guy can do lots of them doesn't necessarily mean he's strong. I lost 30lbs, and that alone allowed me to go from 10-12 reps to 20-25. The big gorillas at the gym can do a lot less, but they put up way more weight than I can. Its painful just watching the amount of weight they put up.

I was recently given advice to do Yoga daily, as I have had persistent back and neck problems since around September. While I've been off the bike to focus on fixing these problems, I started my daily Yoga practice last Thursday. I can vouch that its a game changer - you find ways to stretch muscles on your body that you never knew even existed, especially in your core and back. I feel a lot stronger in my core just one week later as well, as many poses focus on balance from the center of your body outward. Just getting into the daily habit of starting with Yoga has been excellent for my flexibility, strength and planning more generally. I'm pretty excited to see how Yoga translates to performance on the bike, particularly through more challenging sustained sections of trail.

I can admit that getting into the whole "namaste" thing is awkward at first, but I've found that it has helped my focus as I've been preparing for an interview coming up tomorrow.

Interview - Good LUCK!

To be honest, your cat is better at yoga than I am😉
Now we are all in a position where our lives are limited in many areas of our lives. We should stay at home. But I don't want to give up some of my habits. I personally practiced yoga in a specialized club, under the guidance of a specialist in this field. This is not possible at the moment. I was very upset at first. But then I decided to find something in a remote format. Why not? I found https://yogapractice.com/yoga/yoga-exercises-for-help-plantar-fasciitis/ . Everything is there, all recommendations are accessible and clear. What could be better than continuing to practice yoga in your sweet home?
