So what are some stuff I can do at home for cardio since public gatherings are banned

Running is legitimately one of the best ones 🤷🏻‍♂️

They did say running is gucci so long as you stay 6ft away from people you dont live with

Yeah that's true. Probably head to the park since everyone is a pussy

Fr the park in my town is always empty now

Still legal to go there, people just don't very much rn

Didnt think about it that way. The park is always packed. It's got a 1.5 mile path to run or walk on. It's pretty sweet

Yeah, running is good. I'd recommend trying it with you bug out bag or something of similar weight. Train like you might have to act

Run with bag, and interval training is good.

Sprint for as long as you can and do it again as soon as you get your breath back

It absolutely kills but will get you fit as a dog in weeks

@James Warner v true my guy i put my plate carrier under my hoodie and take the mags out and go for about 2 miles another great exercise is rucking i camp and hike so thats my "ruck" put 72 hours worth of food water gear etc in a pack and maybe some extra weight and go walk for a couple miles great for the shoulders and back just wear some good footwear, treat your feet right and your feet will treat you right, maybe cant do it "at home" but definitely without a gym, and for at home maybe vertical jumps and stair case walks tbh

I've got my 50ish pound ruck ready to go, gonna definitely do a number of ^that stuff as well as some 35lb dumbells to do some lunges and squats (with the ruck on too)

dude rock on! i started jogging with my plate carrier again just tuck it under my hoodie lmk how it goes!

Found a new fitness app y'all should try

@somethingoriginalx was planning on a 5 mile ruck with my pack, ended up accidentally doing 6.4. i haven't gone that far with an actual pack in a long time but I got it done. Now my left leg is fucked up but it's nothing stretching can't fix.

time to do some body weight upper body shit at home and let my muscles repair for a few days

the good thing is absolutely no pain in my back and just normal pain in feet (i wear Lowa's which are the most comfortable nicest hiking boots I have ever used)

meaning I set my pack up right

@Bard good man lowas are really nice and im happy you took the time to set up your ruck my ocd kills me with that lol im still hype about my solomans tho sorry

How's my set up? Got my new INCH bag in and I'm still playing around with things

how do you pack it?

also SWOL

Well heavier stuff more towards my center of gravity, sleeping bag on bottom, and lighter stuff as it goes up. I have water collection and treatment on one side, and smaller tools on the left. Idk, it feels like its not organized the best with all the space it has

So you dont have to worry about organization only with smaller sustainment pouches and your common use items you wanna focous on center of mass/center of gravity ill get my pack in a sec but a easy way to test is to get a 2x4 and balamce horizontal weight on the ticker side and vertical weight on thinner i have bad skulliosis so i can tell easily when something aint right

apologies for full kit but i sent them to bard a minuet ago so i figured why not

Nah bruh, full kit is sexy

so without ripping apart my pack too much its similar to what alot of civ use hikers would do also you may wanna under sling your sleep system to where i have my wool blanket i know amazon is a little iffy rn but they sell molle adapters with bungie cords and buckles systems and they fair me well ive also seen people tie their mat between their pack and back for a little more cushion idk i havent really attempted it, also the pack cover im using is just a gorka top and the pants are rolled under the y strap hope it helps fellow chads!

ty btw

Yeah I'm gonna have to play with my sleep system set up. Because I have a tent down below so I rock the mat n blanket up top. Tbh I think the tent weighs less

why not a tarp system?

Ehh maybe. I am gonna carry a tarp with me anyways

tarps are a bit more easy but you will need to expand the sleep system and its a bit of a rabbit hole for tarps ngl, but i normally use a bivy, basicly a reusable emergency blanket precut paracord and steaks, what mat you got btw? i need a new one lol

Some old one from my boy scout days lmao. I have been looking into the therma rest ones tho

@thedarkness05 lookin like a double-wide surprise..god daaaayum

honestly might just buy a yoga mat and spray coat it its sad but ask me how i know it works
