WORKING ON YOUR FITNESS
Time to get your sweat on...at home— MP Edition 027
It’s important for all of us to stay home at a time like this but it can be difficult to fill the long hours. For those of you who are going a little stir-crazy, we’re starting a new “At-Home Series”, where we explore all the things that you can do while the world is collectively in quarantine. This post rounds up our favorite at-home workouts right now. Check out our first post on the TV shows to binge-watch.
We’re in uncharted territory these days, and it’s more important than ever to stay at home and keep practicing social distancing. Along with many businesses, gyms have shuttered for the time being. And while it’s likely not your biggest concern right now, exercise is key, especially if you’re now working from home, sitting in front of a computer all day.
Unless you’re a celebrity or lucky enough to have a home gym, you’ll have to adapt your fitness routine to the current situation we’re all in.
If you’re thinking “how can I exercise at home?”, the good news is that fitness is one area that has adapted to the circumstances quite well. Many fitness studios such as barre, yoga, and HIIT have taken their classes online, which widens the scope because people can now take classes from a local fitness boutique across the country. And there were already many existing online fitness classes to choose from that don’t need a lot of space or fancy equipment so the choices are truly endless.
Just because you’re working out from home and may not have access to the equipment you usually use doesn’t mean that at-home workouts are any less effective. We’ve rounded up some of the best workouts to do at home below that will help you work up a sweat!
