I hate gyms & 'workouts'. Here's my exercise regime while working from home.

It just requires a timer, some dice, & some basic equipment like kettlebells & power tower.

It violates some (largely untested) folk wisdom from 'exercise science', but it works for me...
(thread)
1) When working on your computer or whatever, set a timer to go beep every 20 minutes.
2) When it beeps, throw some dice to randomize which exercise you do next
3) For each exercise, just get up & do _one_ set, as many reps as you can (with good form), or as fast as you can....
Exercises to randomize between (each takes about 1-2 minutes):
- 1-minute sprint (get heart rate to 160+)
- kettlebell squats
- kettlebell swings
- calf raises
- pushups
- chinups
- dips
- hamstring stretch
- adductor stretch
- chaturanga/downward-dog
- whatever else you want...
4) then go back to work, and repeat after another 20 minutes, all day

This maximizes variety & efficiency, & avoids long-term sedentary sitting & RSI.

Works for me. Try it for a week if you want. YMMV.
