I’ve been using resistance bands/cables and feel like I can do 75% of the stuff as if I were at a gym. Just have to get a bit creative, but plenty of content online to help get you going. A bonus is that when this is all done, they’re pretty easy to travel with (especially when you know the hotel gym is trash).

The bands I have are individually sold (~25$ each I think), but I put them through an absolute beating. Been over a year of heavy use and they’re no worse for wear. Search for “SPRI Braided Xertube Resistance Band Exercise Cords”

Yes, I think my joke is funny and people who don’t get it make me lose faith in people. Nice try.

I don’t think you can anymore. I bought two of the last three 40 lb kettlebells from Walmart last week. It was either those or 60 lb.

One doesn’t “do kettlebell”. One does exercises with a kettlebell: KB swings, press variations, squat variations, Turkish getups, bent over rows, etc. One can do double arm swings, rows, presses, squats all with two KB of the same size.

Was in a similar position - I’ve been keeping it simple with a pull up bar, push-ups, and a jump rope. I just got a rower - works out 85% of your body.
