I did this during lockdown here's some comments.

- It was not as fun or engaging as weightlifting. I agree with @gateorade about the progression too. - I have a background in weightlifting and so was not worried about injuries - Gloves help quite a bit with annoying hand issues - Some exercises are very ineffective - i.e. back - I think they are more suitable as a more involved stretching routine than as a workout replacement - You can buy no name brand sets VERY cheap

I am overweight, if I wasn't overweight I would do bodyweight exercises. I have never tried yoga but maybe thats helpful too.

I also agree with top comment that dumbells and a bench are much better.
