If you’re anything like me, it’s been challenging to be stuck indoors for so long! I’m used to interacting with people, and I miss my favorite exercise class (I love taking group classes!) Although we cannot alter the current situation, we can alter how we react to it. Even if I do enjoy a good movie day, being stranded at home doesn’t mean we have to spend the entire day on the couch; we can still move to feel our best.
You can discover some of our favorite home workouts (including programs and gym equipment alternatives) below, along with some advice for gym/fitness center-based workouts (if any are open and convenient for you).You can perform these exercises in the convenience of your own home! Select a workout plan to follow (the majority just require little equipment) OR buy home gym equipment and set it up in the garage or a spare room! In either case, moving your body will benefit your health in every way!
