Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[Patchelicious]

My partner have unsubscribed from public gym.

She's never been more motivated to work out with her bands and kettle bell routine.

Her new thicker and cooler workout mat just arrived today - bright pink.

 

New beginnings.

I suspect you are going to lose those matching Sako7 bidons.

I bought some weights a very long time ago. Never really been used,up to this point, My missus does her home gym twice a week. I cant be arsed, even with a gym contract.

Pretty much what I had in mind... The expensive bit is the Olympic bar and squat rack - the rest is not too bad. Luckily it's not like you have to drop all the cash in one go. You can add over time which is nice. And like you mentioned, it's going to last a long time. 

 

I've already got the layout of my home gym drawn up... but like Jako said, I have a baby to save for, so the gym is going to be slow progress for a while.

 

Before lockdown I was also contemplating a home gym setup, as I was making good progress so far this year and didn't want to lose it all and start all over again. But ja, cost is prohibitive and life is in uncertain territory, so strength training has to be sacrificed.

I installed a chin up bar and have 3 kettle bells

 

I have been going to gym for 30 years and with just the chin up bar and some kettlebells i have never been in better shape.

 

Press ups

Chin ups

Squats 

 

Sorted.

A pretty random request by the EFF, but I would support it if they expanded this to bike shops

Julius managed to shed about half his bodyweight over the past 5 years or so (probably the only thing I can give the man credit for).

 

Maybe he's noticing the scale moving in the wrong direction again.

No. You can sleep in the same bed and you can **** but you can't be within 2m of each other outside.

 

You can also buy sushi but not pies

You can smoke weed but not cigarettes

You can make your own super dodgy beer but you can't buy any

You can walk on the promenade but not the beach

You can buy tupperware but not toys

 

 

 

and you will be arrested with your toddler because sad toddler behaved like a child and bolted onto the beach. You will not be alone because you have 23000 odd similar people while criminals are not being caught and cigarette smuggling hits a high...

 

carry on

You can also buy sushi but not pies - Radiation poisoning over heart attacks? Tough call.

You can smoke weed but not cigarettes - Definitely an improvement in my books...

You can make your own super dodgy beer but you can't buy any - If you can still afford pineapples, or find yeast.

You can walk on the promenade but not the beach

You can buy tupperware but not toys - Tupperware was roped off at my local PnP last time i was there. Bought some car wax though...

FML welcome back - Thought you were banned for life from thehub...

Someone who can give some of these recent kb warriors a run for their money IMO.

 

 

 

 

I see this doing the rounds on whatsapp. Is it a real event that actually happened?

Ir arrested for standing still... social distancing in the back of a police van doesn't apply... https://www.facebook.com/roxgeee/videos/10156875431155843/?sfnsn=scwspwa&d=w&vh=i&extid=1YhPCZqfu2YQqT2x&d=w&vh=i

Are we allowed to ride a tandem during this crackdown period?

Logic would suggest you can, assuming you ride with someone from your household, but I’m not sure if logic applies at the moment.

Jy moet spaar vir jou baba, nie flex nie

Hy moet 'n maatjie uitspoeg voor sy kind gebore word om te keer dat hy ons vegan bet verloor.

 

As hy nie 85 weeg wanneer sy kind gebore word nie is dit twee maande se vegan kos vir hom.

Sharks move over, theres a new threat in the water....

Hey guys, not sure this is the right thread to post this in but do any of you know what level bike shops will open again or if anyone is already operating in the Somerset west/ Stellenbosch area? Really enjoying getting out in the mornings but it would be more fun with a working back brake....

 

I watched some YT videos to try fix it myself but I don't have the tools I'd need and there are a few other things my poor Giant Revel needs looked at as well.
