Due to gyms being closed as we practice social distancing, we need to get creative with breaking a sweat in the living room! You don’t even need any fancy equipment, maybe just a yoga mat or towel to place on your hardwood floor.
First, warm up is important and essential to a good workout – and to make sure you don’t pull a muscle! In our warm up we will first go for a 5 minute jog around the block, and make sure to wear a mask (optional). Then we go straight into 10 jumping jacks. Next in our warm up is 10 standing arm circles (large circles). Make sure your core is strong and engaged. Next, 10 standing arm circles (small circles). Finally, we will do 20 side lunges (10 on each leg) Stand with your legs hip width apart, then step your left leg out and do a deep lunch for 10 reps, then repeat on right leg.
Now that our muscles are warm and our heart rate is up; Lets start!

Make sure you’re still hitting your step goal of 10,000 steps a day while you’re working from home. Whether that means you’re getting up to walk around the house for two minutes every 20 minutes, or you’re going for a morning walk and a walk after dinner to get those miles in. In these stressful and uncertain times it’s important to keep your activity levels up, and in return your stress levels down. High stress can lead to a compromised immune system, we want to keep stress low and be as healthy as we can in these times.
