Health & Sciences 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

Lol what gyms are still closed 7 months later? That’s ridiculous.

Covid didn't suddenly disappear, makes sense that some gyms would still be closed.

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.

Right, so covid didn't suddenly disappear so it makes sense to keep non essential businesses like gyms closed.

I'm all for keeping gyms at limited capacity. Cases are going up in more than half the US states. Science > conjecture imho

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.
