Bonus points for low impact and cheap/free. I have a foot injury and can’t run/bike/hike for a bit.

Editing this to say:

  • Thank you all for the suggestions, I love the Lemmy community, and,
  • I know a lot of workouts can be done at home, and these are all great ideas. However, I bike/hike because I have trouble motivating myself to just work out as an activity. I trick myself using fun, but I don’t know how to make indoor excercise exciting.

    Not sure how well you’d do this with a bad foot but I’ve felt better doing bodyweight fitness. Works your core and calisthenics.

    What I like about the routine is you can start at level 1 and once you’re comfortable you can increase the difficulty. Nearly all of it is equipment free. Maybe resistance bands or a pull up bar.

    Push ups:

    • standing wall push ups
    • incline push ups (kitchen counter works well)
    • traditional push ups
    • more

    Try the build up. Even just the stretching and basics would be a good work out if you’re out of shape.

        How to Build Up to a Full Push-Up if You Can’t Yet Do One:

        So now that we’ve outlined the ideal push-up on the floor, that’s great for those who have the strength to do it. But what if you can’t do it? Maybe you thought you could do them, but now that you’re trying with proper form they’re too hard! Or maybe you came to this guide knowing for certain you can’t do one. The solution is Incline Push-ups.

        There’s even a level below that not mentioned. Standing wall push ups. Stand against a wall lean into it. Do push ups. Eventually you get comfortable and can do incline push ups.
