So with all of the nastiness going around, I figured now is a good time to get in shape and learn some self-defense. I've been taking Judo since I was a boy so I know a few tricks that have practical application. Furthermore, I know some good exercise programs, ones that can be done in the safety of your home or in populated safe areas, I usually jog around LCU for example. Is anybody interested? I'd like to get a few people going, it's more fun and worthwhile in larger groups.

[Whatever the opposite of "in-shape" is, L is probably it.]

I want to know more about the ones that can be practiced in the safety of one's own home.

Martial arts aren't really meant for that. You'd need a sparring partner and a lot of space at least.

You brought up the possibility first, not me.

Oh, sorry, for some reason I thought you were talking about the martial arts thing, my bad.

Anyway, I'm happy to help with that too. How much space do you have?

It's a studio apartment, and I don't have many possessions.

Do you have any kind of doorway or walkway you can set a pull-up bar in?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

[That sounds like a lot of work.]

Couldn't a person get really injured if it came loose during a pull-up?

Potentially, you would definitely want to make sure it's secure first. They're not hard to hang.

[Like many self-defeating people, he seems determined to find reasons he can't do it.]

How would one go about obtaining one? Are they hard to find? Expensive?

You can get a doorway-mounted bar for about $20, or a wall-mounted for $30.

[dead_black_eyes]

If I have an extra $20 lying around, I'll be putting it toward a medical bill or rent. That's just how it has to be.

[Audio]

[reincarnationception]

Well if you're willing to go a bit further afield it can be done for free.

How much further?
