  You dont need excercise equipment unless you wanna be a competitive body builder in which case gym is among the least of your expenses

  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.

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

      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)

      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.

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

  I live in a 2 room (not bedroom, total rooms) apartment. I have no place for ANY exercising equipment.

    You got space for your knees and elbows, that’s your exercising equipment right there

  You don’t need that much space for a functional home gym setup. You can do a lot with just a set of adjustable dumbbells and regular furniture.

  Even if you’re in an extreme situation, living in a barely habitable illegal rental, you can just take your dumbbells outdoors to a park or something. You can even skip leg day if you do that!
