Yeah I was doing home workouts since the pandemic until recently and they are great. My partner still does them this way, and I occasionally join in. But for me the real joy is in the long commute to and from the gym.

It's about an hour walk there and back, and the only time I listen to my podcasts. On the way there I feel anticipation, and on the way back, elation. Fun to walk with a buddy, but really meditative alone. I find I do a lot of good mental processing during that time.

Both my library and a grocery store are nearby too, so I often bundle my trips.

Anyway home / equipment-free workouts are totally baller, I just love my gym.
