The last few years I've decreased the number of exercises and reps and increased the weights during the season. We stayed away from the gym during the worst Covid times, but have been in there again even during the Delta surge, though well masked. Our gym workouts are in the 45'-60' range, after we spend 30'-60' on our rollers and trainer.
wow, impressive. I recently started going back to a gym at lunchtime. I stopped February 2020. there was enough hand writing on the wall to foresee where this was going. I'm fully vaxxed, go at lunchtime when there's no one at the gym, I do a machine circuit varying weights for lighter & heavier days. I'm in & out of the the circuit in 20 minutes cuz I need time to shower, change & drive back to the office. so 20 minutes a day. not ideal but it's something & I feel tons better. gotta control my eating better, but I'm getting there. it's been fun getting my muscle tone back & I can see/feel some muscle mass coming back. so much easier because I had done so much work over the years. I guess I started in middle school w/ the "universal" gym equipment that they set up in the cafe! late 60s early 70s ...?
