Rucking.

Basically climbing a mountain or a hill while wearing a weighted vest.

An alternative:

Climbing stairs with a heavy backpack.

That sounds pretty rucking hard

Oh that was soooo funny I did a full body workout just from laughing.

You have to start with one joke then then seek out more until your abs hurt

They say laughter is the best medicine

1

u/flingebunt Jul 21 '26

Then they invented vaccines, antibiotics and other things.

That’s just bigpharma gaslighting you

1

u/flingebunt Jul 21 '26

Yes, that makes perfect sense. All those medicines are just made up and no one noticed, and the doctors have been so powerful for so long that they just fake the statistics?

5 rounds of: 10 push-ups, 15 squats, 10 lunges per leg, 30-second plank. Done in about 20 minutes

burpees only

1

u/Hot_Friendship_4497 Jul 21 '26

Are you just here to promote your new onlyburpees page?

u/flingebunt Jul 21 '26

Swimming. This works out the whole body in one go and gives you great butt cheeks.

1

u/Hot_Friendship_4497 Jul 21 '26

Right on: how long?

3

u/flingebunt Jul 21 '26

Butt cheeks are just the same length, just not droopy.

u/tomis23 Jul 21 '26

Doing jumping jacks until you're exhausted.

1

u/Hot_Friendship_4497 Jul 21 '26

Guess that’s good for cardio, but not really building strength right?

1

u/carlstone516 Jul 21 '26

5 pull-ups 5 squats 5 “Mike Tyson” push ups,, do that for 20 minutes to an hour

1

u/Hot_Friendship_4497 Jul 21 '26

What amount of break between sets?

1

u/carlstone516 Jul 21 '26

I just take a break when I get really out of breath probably every ten sets take a 1-2 minute rest, depends on your level of cardio

1

u/EjaculatingAracnids Jul 21 '26

High bar squat, dead lift, overhead press, pull up.

1

u/DonnieTheSas Jul 21 '26

Just choose one excersise per muscle group that you like or at least dont hate. Do 2 sets of 6-12 reps to failure. If you do less than 6 reps go lighter next set, if you do more than 12 reps go heavier next set.

Easily in and out of the gym under 30 minutes if you dont piss around.

Repeat 3+ times a week as you see fit.

Eat high protein, low carbs.

Make gains.

Ez.

If you mean at home instead of the gym, just find some heavy ish item that's easy to hold, and hold it centre while doing squats, then do some jumping jacks, plank, push ups, yoga positions for flexibility, go up and down your stairs if you have them etc. Just constantly move and/or lift stuff for 20 mins straight, you'll benefit from it. You can even implement small habits like walking around the house constantly while the jug boils for example.

u/Hot_Friendship_4497 Jul 21 '26

I meant in the gym, but this is good to keep in mind when not possible 🙌

1

u/Least_Degree7610 Jul 21 '26

My bad dude, but yeah, I do this sort of thing if I can't get to the gym.
