I used to go to boxing classes pre-pandemic. Think of it as glorified zumba. We're really punching bags and shit, but not in a ring and not sparring. just following an hour-long workout. But, it did give me a good foundation of things that are helpful to workout WITHOUT weights. Body-weight exercises can be powerful and all you need is space to do it.

Jumping Jacks are a great way to strengthen your feet/calfs while getting some cardio in
Squats are a great way to strengthen your lower body (regular, forward, back, sides, holds)
High knees are a great way to "sprint" in place to get a sweat going and warm up. They're also tough on the feet at first.

lifting weights is a great way to target specific muscles, but body weight exercises and cardio can do worlds of wonders for your actual physical strength and ability. It's good to combine the two, because your stabilizing muscles and ligaments need to be strengthened as well. If all you do is bench-press, you may see yourself struggling to carry something compared to someone who engages his whole body (like a laborer).

Lastly, do it for yourself. Getting in shape feels great, even if that shape is only slightly better than it was before.

"Bring back Pingy Pingu Lunga Gumba esq. And I mean bring him all the way back. I want every thread on this forum that involves even a modicum of salt to get razed to the ground by our most notorious shitposting penguin. I want every thunderdome to drown in ABAGABA spam and a signature that doesn't end. I want the userbase of this fine league to cower in terror, slinking about the forums and making as little noise as possible for fear of attracting the Shitpost Slenderman. When some poor immigrant from the NFL sim blunders into the forum and makes an angry post about how his player slipped to the early second round despite having done ALL the rookie tasks(!), let the veteran survivalists stare in horror and pity while the newbie rages. They will know it is only a matter of time before @Pingy Pingu descends upon his post like a ravening wolf and obliterates his tread, reducing it to a radioactive waste-dump of unintelligible spam. They will not interfere, for Pingy is our immune system. Because he can take it. Our Dark Knight of Shitposting"
