I'm wanting to add strength training to my usual walking and yoga routine at home. For those of you who already do strength training, do you suggest joining a gym for the variety and motivation, or do you prefer working out at home?

I do most of my strength training at home. Less time commuting means more time for everything else. But I did invest in a few quality pieces of equipment to make it feel more legit.

Join a gym, there's only so much you can do at home with dumbbells and bands. I did it for a while during COVID and was able to get decent workouts in, but I much prefer the variety and all the machines at the gym. And I personally have an easier time staying focused when I'm there. I was always getting distracted when I tried to work out at home.

I don't have time to make it to the gym often enough but I can find 20 or 30 minutes, sometimes while on a call, where I can use my/the hotel's dumbells and bands. While the gym offers more variety, I have almost 30 different workouts with those two items and you don't even need that many.

I work out at home. But I have a virtual trainer that give me support and monthly programming to follow. It’s awesome. With two kids and a busy job, home works best for me and it’s been making time to work out 5 days a week for 2 years. Happy to recommend my trainer! She’s amazing

I would definitely suggest joining a gym. Something about working out at home just means I am not going to really do it. I have the equipment but once I get home I want to relax and not have to worrry about working out.

Love working out at home when convenient for me. I use Peloton app for my strength workouts

Think this consolidation period is going to end in the near term, primarily driven by:

1. Microstrategy “open sourcing” their playbook for purchasing BTC as public company

2. Coinbase to offer staking for ETH in Q1 ‘21 - think how much will get locked up.

3. GME / stonks fallout - retail may moreso see the benefits of decentralization and crypto. Yes Coinbase is CEX to get you onboard, but DEX can’t be turned off.

So I'm winding down a three-month LOA for my mental health and burnout. It took a month to feel semi-normal; new meds, new routines, and therapy. Now that I'm closing in on my return date, I feel as though I've made no progress at all. The feeling of dread in dealing with the job is starting to overwhelm me again, and I feel hopeless. I have discussed the mid-career crisis aspect and think I'm still there, I just do not care about the job anymore.
