dancing. absolutely throwing ass. maxing the volume out on twerking that shit out. I have a lot of ptsd around exercise and gyms and dance never triggers it. I do it alone and look like a moron but I feel amazing and some weeks its the only way in getting my heart rate up. its half thrashing my body around. ive literally been losing weight (not a goal, im just trying not to be sedentary lately, I used to be in shape :( ) and my butt looks awesome!

    I was thinking earlier that my constant commentary on rowing might be kinda ableist so let me just say that I am happy that you are exercising in any way possible and taking care of yourself!!! Not everybody can row, not everybody needs to, although my posts literally say the opposite. I'm just trying to use overwhelming enthusiasm to encourage others to do a thing that has really benefited me but diminishing others is not part of that intention

            There's a good exercise I like to do where I like put my right knee up on an ottoman, left foot on the floor leg straight but with my foot maybe 2 feet behind me, right hand on the ottoman, and I reach down with my left hand to lift a dumbbell straight up to like my chest/armpit area. It's kind of a rowing motion and works some of the same muscles, biceps, lats, etc.

            I don't lift it all the way from the floor, I pick it up to the point where it's basically even with my right hand and my right arm is straight and supporting my shoulder like a column, then I start doing reps from there

            if someone knows the name for what I am describing please give it to op so they can google it lol

            sorry if my description doesn't make sense but it's something you could do with a kettlebell
