I was doing Starting Strength last year until gyms closed down because of Covid. It's a great program if you want to get strong. It's free weights. No Nautilus. No cardio. The book goes into great detail about the basic exercises, how and why they work, how to do them correctly, etc. The website has numerous videos about how to do the lifts correctly. The app has everything programmed for you. Sad thing is that I lost a lot of gains with closed gyms so it feels like I have to start over again.

My flexibility is asshole. When I hit the gym after harvest I've been stretching before and after, but I obviously need to focus more on flexibility and balance than only strength. Cardio is ass too, but I'm good with the bike.
EDIT: I need video too. I suck so much at Yoga, just a list of poses isn't going to get it done.
I found a few on YouTube and there were a fuckload, but some of them were wonky. I was hoping someone here would have something simple for a rube.
So nobody has a decent yoga routine for rookies?
I did this one. It wasn't bad. Supposedly specialized for dudes at a desk.
EDIT: I skipped the myofascial release portion. [Reply]

Are you going to take a class once COVID is over? A live instructor can probably help your form quite a bit. It's hard to know what you are doing wrong when you can't watch yourself. [Reply]

Nah, no clue if there are any classes here - doubt it. Even if there was I work way too much either way.
That's why I have to have video. I understand what you're saying, but it helps when they're like squeeze this open up that, whatever. Not great, but it's the best I can do. [Reply]

We like to make fun of PF, but $10 a month is probably worth it even if you only go twice a month. [Reply]
