Suspension trainer (TRX). And a cycle hometrainer hooked up to an ipad and kinomap.

I have a repeating Todo to bike at least 500kcal on that blasted machine.

The TRX is just awesome and takes away every excuse. What is left is you bs, fears and frustrations. Dealing with those is just as worthy as exercising.

Need to lift weights? TRX. Core? TRX. Stamina? TRX.

Another trick I learned: make three workout routines. One for when you can hardly get out of bed. One for when you feel fine. One for when you want to storm the heavens.

You get to give yourself an A grade for doing the routine that fits you on that particular day.

All in all I went slowly but steadily from 120kg to 113kg over the pas 8 months. In combination with intermittent fasting. Especially cycling at the end of the fast seems golden.
