Gyms in NI are still open (thank feck) and my partner and I have been going, he said today he thinks he should focus on being fitter first (his diet can also use improvements but I can help there).
I was going to change our weights plan anyway, as some lifts consistently went up (deadlift) but dips/chins did not, and I think the rep ranges didn't mix well/we overdid some muscles. (and we are both not 20 anymore...)
My first thoughts on that are:
HIIT (gym or outside, as you can do HIIT on a clear enough road when cycling, with jogging/walking and I have 8-20KG kettlebells as well and a tiny lawn to do exercises on/room inside (sorta, watch the sofa)
Up his rep range for a bit to 8-12
Any thoughts/good programs that use weights and other exercises to get somebody's fitness up?
(and I need some HIIT myself too I think, just got a bit lazy/unfitter and nice cycle weather is now definitely over here)
