| It is perfectly possible to get tons of exercise in your own
| home or apartment with no specific equipment. With an internet
| connection and free YouTube videos (dance, body weight training
| tutorials, et al) it is even _pleasant_.
|
| People often make a big song and dance about how they "need"
| that $400 bike or $1500 running machine, or "need" gym access
| to do _anything_. This is all a self-induced fiction (although
| marketers likely deserve blame here too).
|
| There might be limited truth for the top-1% of athletes who
| require highly regimented training routines; but for the
| general public nah. COVID didn't make you sedentary, you made
| you sedentary.
