Do you train regularly? Gym, calisthenics, yoga, light cardio?

What do you enjoy doing and what's the reason for it?
I've been training cali for a year and half now. Started out because I was skinny af and had health problems, now I'm training mainly for the health benefits and because I enjoy it.

Not regularly.. unfortunately.. But when I do, I do push ups (on fists and on fingers), sit ups, planks, 10kg weights. Stuff like that.

Just started to get back to it. I live in Cali too and it's a hotzone for Covid so I haven't been able to go to the gym and gained a lot of weight in the mean time. Recently started to run 1 mile a day to get back to 6 min miles, 100 pushups, 100 situps, 1min x 3 planks, and using 2 20lbs weights.

It's great to hear that man. But you should educate yourself before putting your body through such stress. Doing so much every day does more harm than good.
Watch this video it's quite interesting and is on this topic. You'll learn a lot for sure. *If you don't want to watch the whole vid skip to 4:19, that's when they start talking about training frequency although the whole video is worth watching imo.*

What exactly do you mean by 10kg weights? Do you do the same exercises with a vest for example or is normal free weights and you use those?

Thanks for the video but I already understand! I don't exercise nearly as much as I did before Covid. During that time I went to the gym 3-4 times a week. Right now I am only doing this every other day until I feel in better shape. The only thing I do every day is cardio as of right now.

Cool I'm doing similar stuff but without the legs. It's hard to train them with body weight only also my goal is strength and health not really size and mass.
If I start getting out of proportion I will start training legs but for now I think I'm fine.

Why is that? I'm not from the US but from what I've seen on youtube in some states (the ones I've seen) all the gyms are pretty much empty, clean and most importantly open. Is that really the reason for not training or is lack of motivation/will power?
I stopped in february at the start of quarantine for the same reason and 2 months later when I started feeling and looking like shit I started hitting the local park again and haven't stopped ever since.

Look at it as something that just has to be done. If you wait for motivation to come to train you'll never train. Just do it and eventually you'll build discipline and will start doing it without thinking and enjoying the process.
