Any gym equipment in your house, even just a couple 15-pound dumbbells.
Exercising used to be the #1 reason I leave my house, and I don’t leave my house much overall, so pre-COVID I thought I might as well keep using outside-the-home gyms. But I’m also somebody who finds doing 10+ minutes of “task-switching”, like driving to the gym, to be a pretty big psychological barrier.
So finally I bought some weights and a treadmill, and now almost every day I’m like sure, at some point of this day I’ll take 30 seconds to switch tasks from sitting in a chair to moving my body, it’s a nice change of pace.
A pull-up bar: cost $10, installation in door frame 5 minutes, allows me to do pull-ups spontaneously at any moment. Which sometimes leads to other forms of exercise.
Then a small problem appeared, because I installed the pull-up bar in the bedroom door (reasoning: this door is used least frequently, so people would be least bothered by having the bar there), but it turned out that no one minds the bar, however I cannot exercise when other people sleep. Solved by installing another pull-up bar in a different door frame.
A stepper: now I can exercise while watching movies.
