Im a hardcore gym freak. My local gym recently closed down a few weeks back for renovations. So what can i do during the next 2 or 3 months at home to maitain at least some of the muscle and strenght that i have worked so hard to get. I do Tricep dips and push-ups. I basically dont have any equipment. Please suggest something

Using ideas from fitness magazines, personal trainers, or, of course, The Get-Fit Guy, create a scrapbook of at least 5 tried and true workouts that you can do at home. If you have something in writing, you’ll be far more likely to do it.

I think you'll just have to get creative. I would advice first to check out "killer home workouts", "killer bodyweight leg workouts" etc on YouTube and google. These workouts exist and there are tons of these used by those learning Karate (we used to do very hard knuckle push-ups) and other stuff so I'm positive it's a matter of a good Internet search.

I had to quit the gym too so I got some dumbbells (some I had), Olympic barbell, a cheapest bench, exercise ball and some plates. I do pull-ups on the door thing, a variety of pushups, squats, one leg calf raises on the stairs or plates, jump the rope in various intensities, weighted crunches and so on...But yeah, I've got those dumbbells. In any case try variety of pull ups and running up the stairs etc. Whenever I run out of ideas, I Google or YouTube.

Buy some dumbells that you'd usually use at the gym and maybe even a pull up bar as well. then just do the workouts you do at the gym, at home. you may have to do some modifying considering you probably dont have any incline/decline/flat benches.

not much you can do really. i suggest just buying equipment. all you need is a bench, barbell, weight plates, adjustable dumbbells and something to do pull ups on. if you're good at searching you could get all that for under 300$. i got about twice as much for 350$.
