Staying in shape has become a challenge for many people with the start of the coronavirus pandemic. This is especially true if you regularly went to the gym, took fitness classes, or had a social-walking group. Because of social-distancing requirements, none of these approaches are really an option anymore. However, that doesn’t mean you have to sit around while waiting for your favorite fitness activities to become available again.

 

Here’s how you can stay fit at home by yourself or with your family.

Living Room Workout Ideas

You don’t need much equipment — if any — to get fit in your living room. In fact, many exercise accessories are so small that you can store them in a basket or cubby completely out of sight when you’re done with your daily workout.

Social distancing might mean you can’t go to the gym right now, but you can still stay in shape throughout quarantine. By working out at home or in the backyard, you can keep up with all of your fitness goals until you’re able to get back into your old routines.
