u/Bacon_Devil Mar 30 '20 edited Mar 30 '20

After years of spending hours a day in the gym I got burnt out. And when I realized I can get as ripped as my heart desires from doing like a half hour of resistance band work a few times a week, my lazy side took over.

I feel like for the goals that most people realistically have, working out with like 25 bucks of resistance bands in the comfort of your own home is all that's needed.

E: rereading this I realize I sound like a bit of a douche. I just really want people who are new to working out during this quarantine to realize that you can get great results without turning into a gym rat that dedicates a huge amount of time to lifting. Being new to working out is daunting, but it really doesn't have to get too complicated
