Amid to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), gyms and workout studios across the United States are temporarily closed to help contain the spread of the virus.
Even this measure being essential to fight this silent enemy, people still have to stay active for numerous reasons. Regular exercise is beneficial for immunity and can help to clean your system — it's also fundamental to keep a healthy mindset, especially as many companies are now having their employees work remotely or laid off.
For those which used to training in a studio, we have to get a little creative. "If you're home without any equipment, your body is your own machine! Work it!".
A great idea for exercising at home would be grabbing anything that resembles dumbbells like laundry detergent, bags of produce, or milk jugs or even investing in some resistance bands or some other exercise tools can offer a huge variety of different exercises as well.
If you're not used to working out at home, it's important to designate a spot in the house that feels like a good fit for some movement as this is a stressful time and we must adjust to the place we are currently in. Lay down a mat or towel and make that your spot!
