Bonus points for low impact and cheap/free. I have a foot injury and can’t run/bike/hike for a bit.

Editing this to say:

  • Thank you all for the suggestions, I love the Lemmy community, and,
  • I know a lot of workouts can be done at home, and these are all great ideas. However, I bike/hike because I have trouble motivating myself to just work out as an activity. I trick myself using fun, but I don’t know how to make indoor excercise exciting.

    Piggybacking onto this one, but with a specific ask: same as OP but:

    • limited mobility
    • spinal issues, no to low impact on spine
    • aimed at reducing belly fat, and
    • increasing muscles supporting spine eg core
    • upper body strength as a stretch objective.

    Genuine ask. Appreciate any advice.

      My orthopedic doctor recommended to me exercising with elastic bands (cheap at any drugstore). It’s low impact and you can easily control how difficult it is.

      Not the exercises I was given but this video gets the idea across https://youtu.be/fgKHFLe654U
