Is a TRX sufficient for getting back into shape? I’ve definitely wasted these past two months but I probably won’t be going back to work until after July so I’ve got time to build a foundation once gyms open back up at a decent capacity

Personally I’d go with a kettle bell, HIIT body weight movements, and functional strengthening moves.

like

100 burpees 100 pushups 100 squats and 10,000 steps a day. You'll melt the fat. All exercises require zero equipment and can be modified to be easier or more difficult.

I’m not trying to lose weight. Actually trying to gain but that’s not gonna happen without actual weights so I was using the TRX for now. Thanks for the suggestion though

I'd personally go with resistance bands. I've been using them for the past 2/3 months and even though they might not be as exciting as dumbells or equipment in the gym, they are extremely functional and versatile. With a lit bit of creativity, you can pretty much imitate any exercise you can do in the gym.

Yoga folks! I used to do yoga and exercise frequently. Things happened, getting back on the wagon. I'd love to work up to a daily practice even if it's just a few mins - but I do need to incorporate other programming as I've got some covid lbs to lose. For those of you who do yoga regularly, wondering how you incorporate and/or balance your practice vs. other types of workouts or if you mostly do strengthening type yoga in that case.
