What’s your favorite workout to do indoors at home?

Just started zumba this week! From home on YouTube. I am a stay at home mom as well with a 3 month old, so I know it's hard to get out. Also today I tried a Latin dance workout video it was a lot of fun and I also got a good workout from it

Favorite? Getting on the bike and using Zwift. Most accessable? Doing a working from the Nike Training app.

I don't looking for rollers, and saw that new ones can work with Zwift!

Holy heck, that is awesome! RBG is the best!

Stationary bike and if were talking body weight exercises i like to use the abdominal wheel or do planks

I use bodyweight interval training. Either I build my own workout or I look on youtube or elsewhere for old bodyrock workouts. I also have a barbell and 50kg of weights (with holes so I can also hold the weights) and two kettlebells. The kitche top is is quite ok for arm workouts, and I have a pullup bar in a door opening. But I don't trust it as my walls and door frames are very weak.

What is Zwift?

Zwift is a program that allows you to "ride" or "run" through one of three (soon to be five) virtual worlds along with hundreds to thousands of other people (their user base last fall was ~100k). It was originally designed for cycling but they currently have a running beta as well. The running beta is free but the cycling versons is not (it was when it was in beta years ago). That said there's a 7 day unlimited free trial and if you chose not to sign up do get a 25k free trial every month.

The cheapest way to use it for cycling is to put your bike on a not-smart trainer and attach a bluetooth or ANT+ (if you have a dongle) speed sensor to your back wheel. The more immersive way to use it is to buy a smart trainer which will simulate the gradient of the road you're riding on.

Zwift has plans, races, the Zwift academies, and group rides but you can also just ride around the different worlds. Right now I'm working through one of their four week plans though I typically prefer to use TrainerRoad for my structured indoor bike training. It's not nearly as interesting but it seems like quality of the plans is better and there are significantly more of them. That said, it's easier for me to get motivated and restart the habit of biking inside if I start with Zwift and then switch to TrainerRoad.

Fitnessblender.com is awesome for workout videos. It’s free and has whatever kind of workout you’re looking for. With/without equipment, whatever intensity level, whatever length, etc.

My favorite workout at home is my entire gym. My power rack, my bench press. my dumbells, my long bar, my short bar, my ez bar, my heavy bag, my plyo boxes, my badass stereo which pumps me up, my yoga mats. If I had to choose just one, I'll go with bench press because its my favorite thing to do. Regardless if I'm home or otherwise,, Bench rocks!

Yes! I find Zwift, when not riding a Zwift workout, to be so much more motivating than just riding while watching TV. Ok, I find anything more motivating, but keeping up with people, setting a new PB, trying to level up, etc. I haven't gotten the chance to ride with any acquaintances but I can totally see, from everything I've heard from friends who have done so, how it would be enjoyable. I also know people who have two bikes set up next to each other, each connected to Zwift so they can ride on the same simulated world together on days they can't get outside.
