Effective bodyweight exercises for building strength at home?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some guidance on bodyweight exercises I can do at home on my yoga mat. My main goal is to become more active and incorporate strength training to build and maintain muscle. I do a fair amount of walking already, but want to step it up. I have some light dumbbells, but I'm particularly interested in bodyweight routines. Has anyone here had success improving their physique with just bodyweight exercises? I'd love to hear your experiences. Can you recommend any trustworthy YouTube channels or videos with good bodyweight workouts for building strength and muscle? There are so many options out there, it's hard to know which ones to trust. For reference, I'm a woman in my 30s, around 140 lbs. I try to get enough protein in my diet, but I know I'd need to focus more on nutrition to see real muscle gains. I'm mostly curious if bodyweight exercises alone have the potential to help me add some muscle definition. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!

Tips for taking minocycline with food or drink? (Trouble swallowing pills)

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble taking my minocycline pills. I tried with just water but got esophagitis. Then I tried applesauce, but read that vitamin C can affect absorption. Next I tried non-dairy yogurt, but saw calcium can bind to it. The yogurt only had 2% calcium, so maybe that's okay? Any other ideas for what I can mix it with? I can't have dairy. I'm halfway through my 2-week course and really want to make sure it's absorbed properly to clear up this infection. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Exhausted despite healthy habits - seeking advice to finally feel rested

Hi everyone, I'm Jean, a 32-year-old woman struggling with persistent fatigue. Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I can't remember the last time I woke up feeling truly refreshed. I've implemented numerous sleep hygiene practices, including a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, regular exercise, and creating an optimal sleep environment. I even use a CPAP machine for suspected sleep apnea. Despite these efforts, I still wake up feeling groggy and mentally foggy. On weekends, I often sleep for 12-13 hours but still don't feel rested. I've tried various strategies like strict wake times, morning light exposure, and adjusting meal timing, all without success. I've lost some weight (from 80kg to 72kg) and addressed a vitamin D deficiency, but neither has improved my sleep quality. My GP hasn't been helpful, refusing to refer me to a sleep clinic due to my Epworth score. I'm at a loss for what to try next. Has anyone here experienced similar issues or found solutions that worked for them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm desperate to wake up feeling energized and ready to tackle the day, even if it's just once!
