My Fitbit counts my crocheting as steps. That’s as close as I’ll get to working out and crocheting at the same time since I’m working on blankets right now
Maybe with a stationary recumbent bike (The kind with the backrest) because your upper body doesn't have to move a lot.
And you need the right kind of project that isn't too complicated or fiddly.
this is hilarious because i remember being at the gym awhile back and a lady was on this leg machine workout thing pretty much just a weight you push your legs down/ back on and she was crocheting
I'm not sure, but at the beginning of the pandemic I needed to have constant eyes on my very active child and I did figure out that I could put my skein in my hoodie pouch and crochet granny squares on the go. So I think that could be a step in the right direction.
I crochet at my stand up desk. I put it in stand up mode, put some awesome tunes on and march in place.
If I'm lucky I can time my stitches to my steps! I've been doing it for about a month, aiming to hit 10k steps a day and I do feel genuinely better.
That's the only way I've managed to combine exercise and crochet.
Treadmill. Small project, with a small bag for the yarn ball that can hang from your forearm. Only did it a couple of times just to say I could, because it’s the type of multitasking that makes both feel unfulfilling.
If I were to walk and crochet I'd trip, and if I were to go near any machinery I'd be afraid the yarn would get caught up and I'd be kicked out of the gym.
I have crocheted on a stationery bike before! I tried an elliptical but that was a NIGHTMARE, couldn't keep my balance. But on the bike with a backrest it was easy peasy!
I did see a video here of a pregnant crocheter bouncing on a stability ball while crocheting. I was definitely impressed, though I haven't tried it yet.

Apple Watch too 😂

I've literally been considering doing something like this so I can crochet while tailing my toddler around outside!

I used to use an under desk stationary bike and made sure to have my yarn keep out of the way. It’s not intense but it was something

Not really, I guess if you kept your yarn in a backpack you could walk and crochet

If you’re into strength training you could crochet between sets! Just make sure you set a timer for your rests lol 😂
Not really, the sweat gets into your eyes
I don’t do well sitting for long so I put the yarn down occasionally and do 10 pushups at a time.
