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.
P.S. going outdoors for exercise will probably feel better. Worth trying to get permission.
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/how severe yours is but living on your own is part of life…you don’t have to let the routines/rules dominate your life, you can and should set/change your own.
slacktivism just…doesnt really work. if your serious 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.
what about it? as nice as talking to people online is, it is no replacement for irl interaction. especially when it comes to social/government reform…the establishment powers benefiting from the status quo want you stuck online in echo chambers feeling powerless to enact change in the real world.
I can’t go outside without permission. What should I do?
Get permission, I guess.

ah, that makes a bit more sense.
