I was gonna give it a try just to see if it was something I could recommend for my parents to do at home (using much lighter weights). I didn't get around to doing that until the gyms had to shut down. So I bought a couple of kettlebells. Fortunately, I got them before all the home gym stuff was wiped out at all the stores. Also bought a pullup/dip bar. Bought a stall mat at Tractor Supply and have all of that in my son's garage, where we work out together.
The kettlebell workout is pretty good. I've been adding pullups, pushups, and KB lunges and RDLs to it. I feel like that's decent enough to keep from losing much, except for legs. I don't have a squat rack or barbell and weights anymore, so I haven't been able to do anything heavy with legs.
Stinks, but just doing what I can with what I have to work with until we can get back into the gym.
What are y'all doing?

Stretching, running and lifting. We have the entire family on an exercise and strength program.
We're doing the April Calendarclub challenge. We all picked a specific exercise activity and have committed to doing it each day with the number of reps corresponding to the day. So yesterday we all did 1 rep, on April 15 we will do 15 reps, and on April 30 we will do 30 reps. 465 total reps throughout the month. Something fun, challenging, and different to keep the kids interested.
I made a calendar on a white board. After each day we initial and X it out.

I broke down and purchased the 30-30 program from Mountain Tough Fitness and am almost through my second week. Its a 6 week program with 5 workouts weekly, that are all body weight based. It involves way more leg workouts and running then I'm used to, but its keeping me active and hopefully won't lose any gains I've gotten the last few months.

I don't have any equipment so strength training has been limited to body weight exercises.
For cardio, walking or jogging
Then 20-30 minutes per day of
body weight squats
lunges (walking, reverse, curtsy)
various planks
push ups
wall sits
bench dips
My gym gave all the members a 1 month subscriptions to the Wellbeats app. I've enjoyed the core strengthening, body weight and yoga videos.
