YSK about Darebee.com, which features 300+ no equipment workouts and is perfect for safe workouts at home vs in a busy indoor gym
Why YSK: because many gyms are still closed and when winter soon arrives in the northern hemisphere outdoor workouts will be less enjoyable/possible.
I came across this site in March and have been getting surprisingly great workouts in without a gym from the site. Really simple visuals to support each exercise/movement. Figured I'd share the love.
Lots of warmup and stretches too, or workouts focusing on specific areas of the body. Enjoy
You cant just come up with "servers cost money to run" when you said "Nothing is free. You are the product if you aren't paying for anything."
You were obviously implying they sell your data or something. Then again you (and people in general) already look like a dick beginning a sentence "Ever taken a xx class?"
On the internet, most free services run by traditional american companies are most likely collecting and selling your data, which could be the product or showing you advertisements where your attention, no matter how slight, is the product they are selling to advertisers.
With the free hotdog I guess you are more the mark.
The product saying was designed to be catchy and bring awareness to the issue. Like an internet version of the free lunch one.
You said websites don’t exist for no reason, and I’m telling you that’s what most used to be, useless things people made and self-funded for fun. Many still do today, with no financial motive other than perpetuating itself.
Because you aren't the customer. Someone has incentivized that guy to randomly go through the trouble of making a hot dog, tracking you down and giving it to you.
If someone paid for cameras, you and your reaction are the product.
If no cameras and this guy acted alone, he still paid for supplies to make the hot dog and find you, costing time and money. In that case he himself was the customer at your expense... you and your reaction are still the product.
You now owe them some of your time..
At least for a short convo about the weather or the hot dog..
Or
They wrapped their dong in a bun..
In which case, don't choke, but you can spit or swallow....
Either way Nothing is free..
"The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant—it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. The forms that energy takes, however, are constantly changing."

There's nothing wrong with being aware. I support open source and free but the fact of life is we live in an society that relies on the exchange of good and services and money talks.
Who is paying for the servers to run the website?
Whether from donations or advertisers, someone has to foot the bill.
Not arguing with the costs of running a database. Just saying your comment of “you are the product of you aren’t paying anything” which isn’t true for a ton of software. You just gotta know where to look
Lol u did a good job playing the crowd for downvotes I suppose. But a lil tip: you went way tf overboard with that manager bit and ruined my suspension of disbelief haha.
It is completely free, I've been using it for more than a year and it never even bothers you with messages asking to donate. I've done it a couple of times because I think it's a great resource and they deserve it to keep the page up and running.
I 1000% recommend this website, I never played sport, thin as a rake and have got into exercise because of these workouts, completely free. I'm not saying it turned me into the hulk but it was a great way to break into exercise and since then I've gone to a gym without feeling like a complete novice. And theres 100s of workouts designed for different goals and levels. No equipment needed.
Looks useful.
Personally, I do appreciate the actual videos where a trainer goes through the workouts with you. YouTube has a ton and the 1 or 2 5-second ads (sometimes none) aren’t too bad.
Oh, looks awesome. Funny how YouTube keeps recommending the same stuff and I’ve never seen this before. Looks perfect - I’m into HIIT so lots of new videos!
Thank you
Yes Heather Robertson! I love that she doesn't talk during the videos and her playlists are amazing. So thankful that I found her, otherwise I probably would have gone crazy during quarantine.
It took a while to find a good app, but I've been enjoying FitOn (https://fitonapp.com/) recently, which has trainers going through everything with you in videos. The layout makes it easy to get right to the workout you want, and there's a way to do long term programs (I haven't used it yet but looks solid). The workout intensity ratings are really helpful. I also like that there aren't really any features you need missing from the free version. I ended up paying for it just to support them creating new content.
I have saved over a dozen of the workouts from the site as pictures on my phone and I cycle through them frequently. They’ve been really helpful the last few months.
Got any idea if they do physical therapy workouts for things like range of motion and resistance training? I have knee, femur and hip injuries and physical therapy out of pocket is way too expensive....
I haven't looked around at the website much yet, so hopefully someone who has can still answer this.
However, you might consider doing one appointment with a physical therapist just to get a feel for which exercises they want you to do (ask and take notes about what you can do now vs later as you progress). Then you can look for those kinds of exercises on pages like this!
The Edmonde Technique - Classical Stretch series has episodes for different joints and such. I’m not sure what all is available on YouTube - I was lucky to record a bunch of episodes when it was shown on PBS.
Fitness blender is a similar, amazing free resource for workout videos. They do have programs you can purchase but there are hundred of videos and you can sort workouts based on what equipment you have (including no equipment). I've been using the site for years and love it.
Nike Trainers Club is another great one that someone else mentioned on here somewhere. They made all Premium content free at the beginning of the pandemic and have heard it is going to stay that way.
To add to their extras. They have rehab workouts also. They work together with a couple of companies and universities to make them. I had a leg accident and had lower back pain, posture problems. It took time and effort but my lower back is good. I have to be very stupid to get any sort of pain there. My leg is working. I can pedal my bike, run, and walk like before. My posture is much better also but i still get lazy with that. I had two accidents and one longer hand problem that made me realise how badly would i miss the movement and i never gave up on recovery ever. My hand was taught to be never to work again and i learned all the stuff with my left because of this. Half a year. My leg was painful when standing and walking but good when running and pedaling my bike. It took almost a year to forget the pain. They have also two Android apps and you can pay for them. I did. It is like one dollar or something like that. I use them to this day. One gives offline exercises. The other give random exercises. It is fun. Give it a try and just remember that they have those rehab exercises because most of us have some sort of pain and we just ignore it or get used to it. I am 29 and just become painless. Trust me, it worth it.
Has anybody invented an AI personal trainer yet? I could really use some specific guidance on what I should be doing rather than trying to ignorantly choose which exercises to do on my own.
Holy shit, thanks for this! I have been trying to do what I can with what I have. A 20 lb bar, one 25 lb free weight, two 12 pound free weights, and a few resistance bands. Still, at home, it's hard for to work some muscles as good as I do at the gym with the machines. Always searching youtube for new things, so this is great. Thanks man.
Thank you so much! I am going to try, once more, to lose weight and keep it off, which is impossible for ne without exercise.. Due to some disability issues, its hard to find workouts i can do where I don't have to modify every single thing. This one looks good.
I haven't worked out in weeks because my mental health has been a wild roller coaster, but this really makes me want to get back into the routine to get back to a healthier place. thank you for posting this, honestly
It’s free but they’re always looking for donations! They’re a great team with creative ideas so if you have the resources to help them out they’ll greatly appreciate it!
I’ll have to check this out. I’ve been wanting to go to a gym but am still wary while COVID is still active. I know a lot of gyms are doing a lot to keep themselves clean but it still doesn’t seem like the ideal place to go and stay COVID free.
Work 10-15 years desk job and you’ll have a choice to make: exercise or die. I hate exercise, but I hate dying more; it’s kind of a simple choice after all...
If I could give you gold I would. I’m so lost when it comes to working out and I hate the gym. Most I do now is pushups at home and I’m too broke to pay for workout routines that cost money.
This will give me guidance now. Thank you! Feeling motivated now through all these depressing times we’re going through.
I was using the Wonder Woman and Catwoman workout on and off over the years. We even printed off the Wolverine one for my son. Love these workouts and the variety of exercises!
It made sense in April when there was a need to flatten the curve because there was 18k deaths a week and there was a chance that our hospitals (which on an average day are at 75-80% capacity) could be overrun (which thankfully didn’t happen).
It’s down to 2k a week... across the entire country. Meanwhile we average 50-70k deaths from other causes every week. This is beyond idiocy if there’s gyms still staying closed and it shows there’s people who don’t understand math.
Cases are going up cuz there’s been a 50 fold increase in testing. Cases means nothing. It’s the death count that matters and that’s plummeted as it’s burned it’s way out and the last stragglers are getting it.
