I do quite well with a set of adjustable dumbbells, a foldable bench, and a 4x8’ area of floor. I do wish I had a cardio machine of some sort but I get by without it. Not sure about your situation but it doesn’t take a ton of space to work out at home. If you have room to lay down somewhere you can do a lot.
Burpees are great but I can’t just mindlessly do them for an hour just to burn calories like I can with a machine. I want something I can watch a video while I’m doing it and be able to zone out.
Yeah this is what I do currently (with a few other exercises mixed in as well) but it’s not as effective as I would like. My attention span shorts out and I find myself wandering off or fucking around with shit in my bedroom. For whatever reason I didn’t have the same problem when I had a exercise bike to use. I suspect it’s because the exercises take just enough coordination that I can’t switch off but not enough to not be tedious where the bike was basically “sit on this and kick your legs”.
4x8 feet is a whole lot less than 4x8m. That’s less than 1.5x3m if im remembering how long that cursed unit was correctly.
Still not a super small area to just have available, but probably more realistic for many people. I could probably arrange for that in my 40m^2 apartment

Burpees are better than any cardio machine (unless you have joint problems then a bike or elliptical is pretty great I admit)

Just do squats and lunges in front of the tv, go as easy as you need to to focus on the tv

Most don’t have 4x8 m² of floor space available

TIL that a single ’ is a feet. but what’s a "?
Inch??
i hate the imperial metric system
Everyone who’s given metric a real chance does
almost every country outside of the US uses metric in America
which is funny to me because we have been brainwashed by the US on a lot of things but the imperial units are the limit
You’re correct
You’re correct
That’s feet not meters
