  I can’t go outside without permission. What should I do?

    Get permission, I guess.

    Here’s an indoor routine that I developed when I was stuck indoors and kept up for like 4 years. It’s probably not optimal, but it is almost entirely equipment-free, and it kept me sane and in decent shape.

    Arm+core day: Bicycle crunches Pullups (find something you can hang on to, or a sturdy table) Pushups (if you can’t do a full pushup yet, do the ‘assisted’ variety, i.e. put your knees down)

    Leg+core day: Bicycle crunches Squats Lunges

    Aim for 2-3 sets.

    Either exercise till failure (i.e. until you can’t do another consecutive rep), or set a timer for each exercise and do as many reps as you can within it. Try to keep beating your previous number of reps, but don’t expect that to happen every time.

    Alternate arm+core and leg+core, maybe taking a rest day in between if necessary.

    If an exercise is too hard, google e.g. “pull-up progression”. If it’s too easy, look for advanced versions.

    The internet is your friend for any other information you might need. Lots of great tutorials and stuff on YouTube in particular.

      Well I actually have autism, I live in an apartment with my older sibling Jeb (who puts rules like “DON’T go outside without their permission”) - I’ve gotten used to that. What I’m looking for is stuff like slacktivism or some alternative to such.

        i have AuADHD too, don’t know how old you are but living on your own is part of life…you don’t have to let the routines/rules dominate your life, you can set/change your owns.

        slacktivism just…doesnt really work. if your seroous about learning/practicing/spreading socialism, your best bet would probably be looking up if your local area has a DSA branch. seeing how organized they are and what help they may need.
