Has anyone gotten into shape using just online body weight workouts? I understand weight loss is dependent on diet so I’m less asking about that and more about fitness/building muscle? As opposed to lifting weights/running/etc!

It's hard to progressively overload without weights but if you're willing to be creative it's possible for sure. May need to use household items though for weights.

But in theory sure. Eat in a deficit, get enough protein, and do workouts to maintain or build some muscle. Definitely possible

Yes! Just CorePower yoga - lost 25 lbs since last year- ~15 of those in quarantine just with the home video workouts (was doing other workouts before covid)

Just reread your post and yes- not just weight loss. Built tons of muscle in my arms, abs - 4-pack, and legs — great cardio too

I’m much more toned using a series of apps called Down Dog. There’s primarily yoga, barre, and hiit. I don’t have big muscles, but they’re clearly defined. It also helps me eat healthier just because I feel better working out when I’ve been eating well

Yeah actually, the two times I was in the best shape ever were due to HIIT (consistently for a couple months) and yoga (consistently for about a year)

I was being a party-hard idiot during both periods so while my diet was pretty fine/veg, my liquid calories were through the roof

Thanks everyone! This is super encouraging. I’m looking to get in shape in the next couple months from similar workouts and was hoping I could wait to add in weightlifting until gyms reopen to save the money. I’m glad to hear it’s possible!

Thank you! I’ll definitely check out both of those too!

Sure)

I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.

What’s the best low calorie, high protein snack?

Background- In quarantine I’ve been intermittent fasting &calorie counting for a few months, and still working out in the mornings. My workout has usually been a 3-4 mile run and I’ve definitely gotten leaner but I’m now trying to add in more strength training, and so I feel like I should be getting protein after my workouts.

Any advice on where to go from here appreciated too!
