Day two of our lockdown, YMMV (your mileage may vary) as this is day 48 or 49 for some folks. New lockdowns announced today and others extended; but, if this is the worst the western world has to deal with we should feel lucky as the Taliban takes Afghanistan and an earthquake shatters Haiti. Even in our hyperconnected world, or perhaps because of, it is easy to fixate on our own issues and forget our lucky we are to live in wealthy and free countries.
Low tide was early morning so I rambled around the rock platforms and along our local beaches for a couple of hours. I passed a guy doing squats on a rock platform using a rock for weight. He was super fit looking, the way most people probably looked half a century ago but the way hardly anyone looks now. A clear case of motivation and consistency trumping just about anything else.
There were lots of lizards laying in the sun and I almost stepped on two. My own training day at home using our home gym - what a great thing to have if you have room in your house. Ours is very basic but does the job, and enables us to maintain consistency with ease. Very little is needed for an effective home gym: a barbell, some plates, a rack, and a pull-up bar pretty much covers everything. You could purchase the whole set up for around what most people spend on junk food and coffee in a week.
