I go to the gym a few days a week and run a couple miles on some others.

    Once a week I’m going hiking with a ≥8kg backpack (at least 10% of my body weight) and hiking sticks which means you basically get a light full body workout+cardio. If you’re grinning and the technique is correct you’re exercising 97% of the muscles in your body this way.

    In winter I’m going swimming once a week. In addition to that I’m doing static exercises like planking, some body weight, and play Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch which is basically full body cardio when cranking the intensity setting to 30.

    I bike to work with an ebike on full support level +5km/h (so ca. 75-100W of my own power) so I’m not sweaty, but I cycle back with level 1 to get a slight workout (ca. 300W). Just the bike weighs 27kg, bringing that to 30km/h helps with stamina.

    Soon Ring Fit Adventure 2 and Fitness Circuit will be released for the Switch, which I hope are at least as good as Ring Fit Adventure. I simply can’t do workouts in gyms (I have tried and paid a lot) because people there are unfriendly and reckless (e.g. not wiping their machines, going when sick) and it’s simply boring me to death.
