Anyone taken time to look into exercise during enforced, home based lockdown? Any last minute kit recommendations? Tina, sugar, flour for weights? Those elastic band/tube exercise kit? Weights? Yoga? Pilates? Any exercise solutions in the cramped, indoor spaces of modern life?

Gardening. Then tending the veg / fruit cage and greenhouse. Then archery practice in the garden - backs out onto a 25 acre field of rapeseed plants. Then walks around the fields and lanes. Catapult practice to keep the greys away from our bird feeders 
. Plenty to be getting on with...Indoors is going to be difficult but half an hour with a heavy old Dyson hoover - so strong it lifts the carpets - is usually enough for me.

The Canadian Airforce Aireforce Exercise Programme is supposed to be a good one to follow and is designed for indoors

Ice coach online are doing some pretty good flexibility youtubes, awesome if you want to punish your muscles and destroy your self esteem.
get yourself a skipping rope and some looped resistance bands with a door anchor. everything you need along with your own body weight. pull up bar is a nice extra.
At my age walking up and down the stairs for 15 mins listening to Pink Floyd is enough
Was thinking of getting the resistance cords, bands, etc. We've got cheap aldi barbells from 1kg to 8 iui r 10kg iirc plus 12kg kettlebell. We've got a smart turbo trainer which has never been set up properly because we haven't the space to leave it set up nor the spare bike for it. Neither types suit completely.
Weightlifting with the chains and heavy weights I will need to keep Dad put.
Pink floyd makes me want to throw myself down the stairs.
Welcome to Martial Law people
As is walking which is a relief as we've three dogs who need exercising.
We've decided that the wife will take them out in the mornings and I'll go out in the afternoons
I'm just leaving the house with my rucksack on, food for the day and a tin or two. Tiny woodland space 100m up the road. Nobody ever gets in there anyway. Not very pretty but there you go
Burpees.... Just Burpees... enough to make you puke and you to feel like an out of body experience has occured.
