Exercise during the pandemic

[cyvideo]

Home treadmill, air walker, resistance stepper and swimming pool.Trouble is we are into the autumn, fall period now and not being a heated pool the temps are dropping. 18 degrees C and below water is becoming as much a mental challange as a physical one to overcome.

These handles as they make the exercise easier on my wrists if I want to be able to them for an extended period of time:

Those handles are a great idea, but I came across these and they look like they might be better -- they rotate with you as you do the pushups.

The rotating ones (in general) are a big-time infomercial product and there's some science behind them being a bit better with the extra movement but it's arguable.

It's all good with me...the more variety, the better. Pushing and pulling builds muscle either way.

Pushing and pulling builds muscle either way.

Concentric and eccentric motions both build different muscle groups, and work the same groups differently.

The egocentric exercises are to be avoided...

These current life circumstances have you testing out your routine on us for your second career as a comedian... :shocked:

I tried to get double unemployment benefits, but they said I owed them after reading my material.

And thanks for being my guinea pig... :embarasse
