How to Work Out During Quarantine

Exercise has been proven to boost immunity and reduce anxiety. Now that the gyms are closed for at least a few more weeks, you need a quick guide on how to work out during quarantine. You don’t need fancy equipment or a ton of space. You can use your body weight or use objects you already have at home.

It is important to keep a consistent schedule. Some days you can only do a half hour, while others give you the time for a full hour or two to stretch your legs. If you have made gains in the last year, you certainly do not want all your hard work to go to waste.

Keep in mind that while the COVID-19 pandemic feels like it will last forever, it won’t. Throughout history, there has been devastation and comebacks. Do your best while you are away from the gym to keep your body strong and your mind sharp. America needs you to be at your best.

Body weight movement

Top four reason why using your own body weight is effective:

  1. Saves time
  2. Affordable
  3. Measurable
  4. Mixes in cardio

When performing body weight movement, you can get support from a chair, table or sofa. You can modify your pace or form at any time. Anyone can do burpees, push-ups and mountain climbers. These exercises are perfect for building muscle, torching calories and getting your mind off quarantine.

Burpees

Burpees may not be everyone’s favorite exercise. They are, however, incredibly effective for building strength, endurance and flexibility. Seventeen minutes of doing burpees burns 160 calories, equaling nine calories per minute. If done right, a burpee takes a few seconds to perform. Just get into a push-up position, kick your legs in and jump up high.

Push-ups

Like burpees, push-ups build strength in multiple parts of the body. All you need for this exercise is to raise your body from the floor to as far as you can. You can play a song while doing them so you don’t have to keep count. Not only do push-ups build the arms, they also tighten the core and strengthen the muscles of the lower back.

Mountain climbers

To perform mountain climbers, simply get into the push-up position and draw your knees to your chest as many times as possible. This repetitive exercise gets the heart pumping and builds up your legs, core and arms with a steady running motion. At any age, you can use mountain climbers to increase joint flexibility and loosen up the hips.

YouTube Channels 

You might be the type of person who enjoys having an instructor rather than using an app show you how to work out during quarantine. YouTube is the perfect platform for you. There are so many channels that you are bound to find the right one. Go to the search bar and type in exercises you might enjoy. Think kickboxing, cardio, high-intensity, yoga, ballet and Pilates.
