As the COVID-19 situation continues, it is ever important to maintain good mental and physical health. Luckily exercising can help us achieve both of these things. Even with the fitness center closed, there are still simple workouts that can get the blood flowing and the heart pumping. Here is a sample workout that can be done from the comfort of you own home. Taking daily walks and jogs is also highly recommended!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I’d be more than happy to help!
Make sure you are properly hydrated before beginning!
The exercises are split into three separate categories: easy medium and hard. Repeat each exercise ten times for three sets. Holds should be held for 30 seconds or longer. Rest time is completely dealer’s choice. The less time you rest the more intense the workout will become. Feel free to mix and match from each category!
