Well my minimalist home gym is expanding, as well as kettlebells a yoga mat and a jump rope, I now have this:
Beats the chair I have been using for lateral step overs, sprinter step ups, Bulgarian squarts and dips. Also doubles up as a bench for presses and the like.
A good dose of bicarb will sort that
Bulgarian split squats - excellent exercise for whole leg strength and stability. What they bring in the lorry load is named after you!
Donāt do 30 mins hiit with a jump rope when hungover.
Shit myself at the 28min mark, wasnāt pretty
Iād much rather manage what I eat than skip rope but good on you for going for it.
But no so much when hungover 
Not for weight loss, general aerobic exercise.
Yeah I think next time I will leave it till later in the day if I was an idiot the night before 
My motivation has dropped through the floor over the long weekend. Not done any exercises since last Thursday.
Feeling very tired too, will try to get on the bike later but not feeling it at the mo.
Have you been eating normally?
Yea pretty much.
Unless its mood related then my usual trick is to eat 70% of my daily carbs an hour before exercise, and a strong coffee 30 mins before, and then auto pilot into it without thinking too much.
Iāll have another pop later, maybe just the dumbells as that seems easier to ājust doā.
Less ābuild upā or prep I also find better in just doing it. Otherwise if youāve been cycling a lot in the last month or two it might be accumulated fatigue and time for a change for a week or two and step things down.
Generally feeling quite tired at the mo, i dont think working from home agrees with me.
Sleep and recovery is a huge thing and really important.
Also find exercise you enjoy, but to echo above coffee 30mins before both helps you get going but also means you will burn more calories before and after the exercise
I dont normally do coffee after mid afternoon but iāll give it a try
Iāve never got on with coffee pre workout. I know so many like it but I just never really feel good from coffee anyway.
Usually when I really canāt be arsed but I force myself to do it, I end up having a better session than usual. Not sure why.
What I couldnāt find earlier but just found re:sleep
From annals of internal medicine: insufficient sleep undermines dietary efforts to reduce adiposity.
They took overweight middle aged men with moderate health. Half slept 5.5 hours a night the others 8.5, if they couldnāt sleep they just stayed in bed till the time was up. They restricted calorie intake to 90% and standardised the food.
They found energy consumption was identical for both groups as was calorific expenditure. Both groups lost 3kg over 14 days.
The group that slept 8.5 hours lost 50% fat 50% lean mass.
The group that slept 5.5 hours lost 20% fat and 80% lean mass.
Plus the 5.5 hour group had higher hunger levels throughout the experiment due to higher ghrelin levels.
They reversed the groups and re ran the test for another 14 days. Same results
Sadly I have now added more faff to my minimalist home gym stuff.
Enjoying the skipping so much I got another rope, so two now. Went for a weighted rope, my normal weighs 86g and this weighted one weighs 430g.
The difference is really felt, forearms are dead by the end of my skipping intervals and my average heart rate is up on average 10bpm.
Will probably alternate between light rope and heavy day to day as I enjoy the fast pace of the lighter rope as much as I enjoy the burn from the heavy one.
According to the watch Iām burning 370 calories in 20 minutes, which is more than an average jogger for the same time frame by about a third.
