Yesterday was a day of vacuuming and laundry and today I'd like to do nothing, but I don't think that's gonna happen. Last night I decided it's time to get back on my fitness journey/bandwagon/whatever it is. I lost a lot of weight and got fitter, but now it's all back to how it was and I need to address it. Back to daily at home exercise and workouts. I wish my local park had those free exercise machines that other parks have, I love some of those! Hard to find an app which has good exercises for older people who don't want to trash their joints or pay an ungodly amount for a monthly subscription. I've uninstalled a couple already because they're too pushy for money, want to send too many notifications or have too many ads. The app I used last time has really gone downhill in this regard. So I'm still looking.
This is so good hear! I'll be starting my workouts again too. I just wanna get stronger ๐ช
This is my favourite workout. All you need is 1kg weights to start or 2 cans of soup.

That's pretty cool! Just having a glance through Tom's guide's exercise section and there's a lot there, it's a pretty good resource, so thanks for that!
