I gained 10kg from eating shitting and writing code.
Time to move on or I will die with head in my keyboard.
I was planning to buy a water rover so I don’t have to get out from home during winter but well I don’t know. The gym is across the road and to get a decent water rover I need to spend 3 years of gym. I can’t decide if gym is better than exercise at home. You have greater accessibility to the training device at home.
What you think ?
Should I buy a water rover or go to gym ?

Why did you eat shitting?

At home it's easier to do something fun at the same time, such as watching tv or what have you. And you don't even have to dress up. Gym has its pros too. And you can absolutely get fit without any machinery, but they may help depending on your preferences.

@electrineer because I also bought a hob that makes me professional master chef at home, I’m basically a wizard of cooking right now

I'd either go with gym or jogging. A water rower will be OK cardio, but not cover many muscle groups. Go gym, do resistance training and cardio. By gaining muscle, you burn more calories. Also get a bit of aesthetic.

A rower is also a lot of space/hassle.

Variety of a gym also helps make it more interesting/help maintain engagement.

May have spent a couple of years working as a gym instructor. But also a fitness freak still.

Go to the gym, that way you have a place that incentifies you to work out.
Plus other ppl to motivate you.

Before covid-19, I went to gym 4-5 times a week for like 5 years.

I can't motivate myself to workout in our apartment, mostly because there's a bazillion other things..

Also getting into the mindset of working out at the place I relax is kinda conflicting.

I feel you. I was 87kg as of Fabruary of last year (I'm 176 cm tall). I lost 13kg by eating less shitty (mostly less sweets) and exercising more.

I'm now on a four times a week exercise regime, going swimming twice a week and exercising at home when not going there (a 30 minutes routine suffices for me).

Good luck

The choice to boils down to what you find easier to keep regular with and what you value.

Personally I value owning fewer things taking up space, so gyms make sense. On the other hand I also want to be able to have one routine that works in any situation (i.e. travelling), so I focus on using the least equipment possible. Thus I workout at home with a bodyweight routine (r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine, but less stretching) and have a treadmill because I don't like running in the city.

Gym has it's pros.
Home-gym has it's pros.

I'm going to join tbe gym after home-gymming for around 1 year, but now I'm getting saturated here because the dumbbells are of limited weights and I wanted to go heavier.

If you don't want to step out, or if the gym is crowdy, simply buy a good set of dumbbells, like I have plates weighing 10kg, 5kg, 3kg and 2kg which I can put on dumbbell, or barbell. I also bought a bench and that pretty much serves the purpose for me.

Disclaimer: I had been to a gym (pre-covid) before setting up a home gym, for around 5 months, 3 of which I worked with a personal trainer to learn all the movements and lifting mechanics.
