Hope you get to the bottom of it soon!
Sounds like you still have lots of options for maintaining fitness:
Anyway I'm sure you've thought of all of this - just know this one stranger wants you to be able to lead a healthier life soon!
Never heard of it, but I can imagine what you mean!
I can understand not being into commercial gyms for a variety of reasons. Would you be open to a home fitness setup (given the space etc)
I feel this (south east england). I'm fortunate enough to have a little space in my garage for a half rack, incline bench, Olympic gear and accessories. I got into the idea of how little equipment (and floorspace) you can get by with for a comprehensive setup, it sort of became a little research project over the pandemic.
In the interim, I stumbled across some excellent body weight exercises that can be performed with minimal equipment (piston/pistol squat, Nordic and reverse Nordic curl, single leg hip thrust, handstand press, etc). I was most surprised to find out how well you could train your legs without additional gear. A set of resistance bands and a pair of small dumbbells can go a very long way
That's understandable. I have a close friend who feels very much the same way. Their approach to fitness is far more functional than mine (rock climber), and he gets a great deal of enjoyment from it.
Ah, then I understand your viewpoint well!
Climbing is wonderful. Hope you get back into it someday.
Bruh, I got stuck in bed for a few years and the first few months were so weird, feeling my knee joints becoming less stable thanks to less muscular support.
I also have a hard time going to the gym. I bought a set of adjustable dumbbells so I can just work out at home. They even have a bar that screws in between them to make it into a barbell (I don't have a rack to really load it up safely but it's still useful). Since I got those my workout schedule has stayed pretty consistent. It seems the "having to go somewhere" part was what was always tripping me up before.
