Exercise

If you are fat and do nothing but lose weight, you will slim down into a flabby slug of a man. Exercise is important to maintain a respectable and correct body shape.

We share some home exercise equipment. Currently, we have

• 1 Adjustable incline bench
• 1 set of dumbbells from 10-30lbs
• 1 doorframe pull-up bar
• 1 exercise bike (it was free - don’t buy one)

This will allow you to get a pretty wide range of exercises in, even when the gyms are closed or your transit is inaccessible. I also have a gym membership, which gives me access to barbell exercises and isolation machines.

Home exercise list (dumbbells only)

I will typically do one of these groups a day, with two rest days in the week. This maintains some amount of the strength I am losing by not being at the gym.
