![]() While sitting down, I began to think about the pain in my shoulders. I was alone in the reception room because I was the second to the last patient. I was asked to stay in the reception area where there were a few chairs. The next day, I arrived several minutes ahead of my scheduled check up. At first, I thought it was just caused by the long hours I spend typing but when the pain didn’t disappear after a week, I got worried so I decided to go to the doctor. ![]() I tried a lot of cures such as liniment, massage, and some exercises but to no avail. I was approaching my 40th birthday when all of a sudden, the pain on my shoulders became too difficult to disregard. Pain on the knees, hips, back, arms, and in the shoulders can make your days and nights miserable.

However, that’s not an excuse to stop entirely!īody weight training is just one of the alternative methods that work and if this one doesn’t fit your lifestyle, you can always find a different method. To wrap it up – the current situation in Australia and the rest of the world can really throw anyone off their fitness commitments for 2020. Through this, I confirmed the continuous weight loss and with the associated apps, I actually had more control over my goals! I wanted to be very accurate with my weight loss tracking so I made room in my budget and bought from some of Australia’s popular smart scales. I thought that without the expensive gym equipment, I won’t be able to continue losing weight – but I did! Being able to stick to a habit helped a lot – but the workouts themselves kept me on track – even during the lockdown! There’s really less hassle here – especially since everything I can need post and pre workout are in my home – including a blender for a much-needed protein shake. I can blast whatever music I want during a workout – no need for uncomfortable headphones! Plus, I can wear whatever I want and move in perfect confidence and without the typical consciousness I get in the gym. As I learned more about body weight training however, I realized some workouts already incorporate cardio in them, kind of like hitting two birds with one stone. Not surprising since that’s the same principle I follow while at the gym. All the literature says that for effective weight loss, I need to switch between the two. When I started in this journey, I made plans alternate body weight training with cardio. Once I felt I wasn’t breaking a sweat with position A anymore, I move on to position B and get that heady rush of accomplishment. However, there are complicated moves that increase the intensity of the workout.įor example, I realized that there are tons of possible ways to do squats that will make each workout just a little bit harder and more effective. I’ve found that that’s not an option here. With weight training, if I wanted to increase the intensity, I just added a few more pounds or increased the resistance in the equipment I’m using. Really, there was no problem finding help from different sources. Impressively, even the apps recognize the value of a “rest day” and will automatically award this to you after a streak. There are 30-day challenges and there are even apps that will give you a set routine! Sites like YouTube have creators with routines that I can follow on the screen. ![]() There was absolutely no need to pay for anything except the internet, and I was already paying for that. ![]() I was a bit surprised at how easy it was to find set workouts online. So once I had the minimal equipment available, the next step was to find a workout routine to follow. The total cost is less than AU$100 and I was ready! I added some resistance bands later on because they added to the many workouts I can do on site. All I need is space, a yoga mat, and one or two dumbbells to get started. ![]() This is the main reason why I chose body weight training as my alternative in a gym-less society. I’ve been used to visiting the gym for my weight training, but with gyms in the country still having limited operations, I’ve had to resort to other methods. With social distancing apparently the new normal nowadays, it’s not surprising that more Australians are looking for ways to continue their habits in less populated surroundings. ![]()
