Vaccine mandates... rescinded! Some places? BA.5 IS THE MOST CONTAGIOUS EVER! Than what was before? But at least there is still no mandate and it is optional. This whole thing it actually looks as if China is scared / worried / concerned that this virus will have a disproportionate affect on their own people, for whatever reason. Is that the reason for the constant vigilance? Test prep: working my way through the HSK test prep book that breaks down each section. I... am not doing well! I don't want to say this could be a practice run through as I am confident in my abilities but the points aren't lying. 2-3 hours to raise your score by a point. What is my goal? Just to pass.

Ten ideas to workout at home with whatever you have -washing detergent bottles (better handles, can be used like small steel clubs for controlled movement) -water bottles (4, 5, 12 L bottles for kettlebell-like workouts) -couch bed dips (triceps) -push up variations (from normal to one-handed, spider / split pushups) -stairs (load up those 12L water bottles and do a few flights) -chair lift (chairs offer an off-of-center weight, pick it up, turn, put it down) -squats (with water bottles or variations, split squats, water bottle over heard squats, normal squats) -pistol squat prep off of a chair, do half until flexible and strong enough!) -suitcase carry (load up a suitcase with those water bottles and carry on one side) -floor cleaning ab or leg workout (can use the rags as a type of slider, keep the legs stationed and slide out on your arms, or keep the arms stationed and slide out the legs to the side or to the back) This is all in addition to the normal burpees, pushups, sit ups and crunches you can do!
