5 At-Home Exercises to Try While Quarantining

Gyms and studios may have closed their doors, but there are still plenty of ways to get your heart rate up. For those training from at home to make social-distancing slightly more tolerable, doing the right exercise is going to make all the difference. To help you stay motivated, sane, and active, here are 5 different exercises you can do without any weights.

Exercise #1: Pushups

Pushups are an all-around great exercise, as they workout your chest, shoulders, and tris.

Plus, there are tons of variations you can do to change things up.

Exercise #2: Squats

Don’t forget your lower body. You don’t need much space to workout your thighs, hamstrings, and calves with squats.

Exercise #3: Jumprope

Jumping rope is one of the fastest and efficient ways to build muscle and burn fat. 

Exercise #4: Pull-ups or Rows

If you don’t have a pull-up bar at home, bodyweight rows or banded pull downs are an excellent way to tone your back and arm muscles. 

Exercise #5: Planks

Since we should incorporate an ab exercise in the routine, planks are incredibly effective and there are dozens of variations you can do. You can do everything from plank jacks, plank holds, spiderman planks, etc.

Now the key to all these exercises is to focus on getting stronger and making progress. For example, let’s say you start off with 5 pushups, make it your goal to be able to do 20 pushups in the next 30-days. 

And if you’re working out from your phone, or laptop, below are a few headphones that will give you the best experience:
